The Nursing Foundation of Pennsylvania (NFP) has selected Elizabeth (Betsy) A. Walls, MSN, MBA, RN, to lead the Foundation as its president beginning January 1, 2013. A supporting organization of the Pennsylvania State Nurses Association (PSNA), NFP’s mission is to ensure nurses for tomorrow with a vision to be the premier charitable organization for professional nurses in the Commonwealth.
Walls currently serves as Chester County Health Department’s bureau director for personal health services. A member of PSNA since 1963, she has served six years as PSNA past-president and was a PSNA director during the establishment of NFP in 1983.
“It is a privilege to serve as president of NFP as we promote the future of nursing,” said Walls. “I was also president of PSNA as it evolved into a proactive organization serving thousands of Pennsylvania nurses. I am confident NFP will continue its forward momentum to a very bright future.”
The NFP supports charitable, educational and research ventures that improve health and advance the nursing profession.
