Future Nurse Leaders Awarded the Press Ganey–Thomas O. Pyle Fellowship in Nursing Fund

Press Ganey Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PGND) today announced that it will maintain its ongoing commitment to nursing education by sustaining the Press Ganey–Thomas O. Pyle Fellowship in Nursing Fund in 2015. Each year, the fellowship is awarded to outstanding graduate nursing students at Boston College’s Connell School of Nursing, who are expanding their studies in oncology, endocrinology or other clinical specialties.

The Press Ganey – Pyle Fellowship Fund honors the late Thomas Pyle, one of the founders of Harvard Community Health Plan, and recognizes his long-term leadership and innovation in health care delivery and patient treatment. This fund, established through an initiative led by Patrick T. Ryan, now Press Ganey CEO, promotes the training of individuals studying critical topics in health policy and health care systems, related to nursing.

“At Press Ganey, we are proud to support organizations and individuals that share our dedication to the mission of reducing suffering by improving the patient experience,” said Patrick T. Ryan, CEO, Press Ganey. “We believe that strong nursing leadership is a critical aspect of delivering patient-centered care and we are committed to the training and education of future caregivers through our gift to the Press Ganey - Pyle Fellowship.”

The fund was established in 2007 and has supported 18 fellowship awards to 14 graduate students. Last year’s recipients of the company’s endowment were able to build extensive educational and experiential skills in their respective graduate programs.

“Press Ganey’s support of the Connell School of Nursing at Boston College provides critical resources to nurses dedicated to providing patients with the highest quality care,” said Susan Gennaro, Dean of the Connell School of Nursing. “There is no better way to honor the memory of Thomas Pyle and our shared commitment to leadership, innovation and patient-centered health care than to champion future nurse leaders.”
