KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Since Rachel Johnson was a little girl, she knew she wanted to be a nurse.
But it wasn t until nursing school that she realized what kind of nurse she wanted to be. When I was in nursing school, my grandpa had a pretty significant cardiac event and he was in the ICU and his recovery was months, Johnson said.
It was that care she saw that inspired her to be a nurse in the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit.

Anna Marie Hagerty (’20), recipient of this year’s Virginia Nursing Association ”Future Nurse Leader’ award
In recognition of her hard work in the classroom and during her clinical hours at Lynchburg General Hospital, the Virginia Nursing Association (VNA) presented Liberty University School of Nursing (LUSON) alumna Anna Marie Hagerty (’20) with its Future Nurse Leader award.
Hagerty earned the honors due to her “leadership impact, engagement in nursing organizations and her community, and contributions to her school’s overall excellence,” according to an announcement from the VNA.
The people who nominated her for the award have remained anonymous, but they called Hagerty “a standout among her peers.”
For the Craig Press
The city of Craig in January settled a lawsuit alleging excessive force against two officers over a 2018 tasing incident, the second civil rights complaint of its type filed against police force members since July.
Croix Orona’s federal complaint didn’t attract the level of publicity generated by another lawsuit with video exhibits of officers tasing a man purportedly experiencing a mental health crisis at his residence on Feb. 18, 2020.
The civil lawsuit by Orona, however, cast police in a similar light as the three officers being sued by another local resident, Grayson Dennis: law enforcement allegedly escalating a matter by tasing and hurting an individual at his residence. For its part, the city maintained in court filings its officers acted in good faith during the Orona incident, and in the case of Dennis, the police deployed the tasers in reaction to his “acts and conduct,” according to court filings.

Three study authors to be recognized for abstract achievements at ACC Cardiovascular Summit
WASHINGTON (February 1, 2021) The American College of Cardiology has awarded three abstract awards to study authors for their posters presented at the Cardiovascular Summit Virtual. The award winners will be recognized at the Cardiovascular Summit, held virtually February 12-13, 2021. As the move toward value-based health care continues, it is critical that members of the cardiovascular community engage around quality improvement and cost reduction strategies. Posters sought to engage cardiovascular team members in the process of delivering value-based care; share practical
quality improvement and/or cost reduction strategies; encourage dissemination and implementation of evidence-based interventions that can be applied in clinical practice; and facilitate networking for those interested in value-based health care.
