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.”
