Sally Morgan, MS, APRN, AGPCNP-BC, ACNS-BC

Ohio State degrees: 1977, 1989 MS

Current role: Interventional Radiology Nurse Practitioner (semi-retired); Member, Franklin County (Ohio) Board of Health

Professionally, I am proud of serving in clinical and administrative positions that have enabled me to enhance patient care in a variety of healthcare settings. Working as a staff nurse, clinical nurse specialist and nurse practitioner taught me the value and importance of nursing to our patients. These clinical experiences encouraged me to find ways to advance nursing and patient healthcare, which led me outside of the hospital to serve on organizations at the local, state and national levels. I recently served as president of the Ohio Nurses Association and am currently a member of the Franklin County, Ohio Board of Health. As a result of this position, my current passion is promoting the Nurses on Boards Coalition to improve the health of communities and the nation by increasing the number of nurses serving on boards.

Interesting fact: My husband and two sons are also Ohio State alumni.
