Elizabeth McAdams, R.N., Recognized in Boston Globe

The May 10 edition of the Boston Globe featured its annual “Salute to Nurses.” Scituate resident Elizabeth McAdams, R.N., was recognized for her exemplary work as a nurse at Harvard Medical School affiliate Hebrew SeniorLife (HSL), a nonprofit organization that’s committed to improving the lives of older adults as a leader in the field of senior care. HSL is based in Roslindale.

The annual “Salute to Nurses” publication recognizes nurses whose dedication and caring have saved lives, soothed fears, and eased the pain of countless patients and their families. The Boston Globe received nearly 500 nominations for its 2020 edition.

McAdams joined HSL 15 years ago and serves as a Nurse Educator in HSL’s Department of Professional Development. She was nominated by her colleague Susan Graff, M.S.N., R.N., a Clinical Nurse Specialist.

Graff said in her “Salute to Nurses” nomination, “Elizabeth is an extraordinary nurse educator. Teaching and working alongside Elizabeth has shown me her passion for nursing and the development of staff and students. Each interaction is met with a smile and enthusiasm to impart knowledge. No matter how busy Elizabeth is, she will stop what she is doing to ensure she answers your question or follows up if she doesn’t know the answer. Elizabeth is a wealth of knowledge with years of experience that allow her to pass on vital education to others. Her stories and actions really capture how she has and continues to be an advocate for patients and their families. Thank you Elizabeth for all you do for your fellow coworkers, staff, students, patients, and families.”

Hebrew SeniorLife offers many opportunities for nurses to advance their careers through professional development, tuition assistance, and leadership opportunities.
