What Inspires You? Your Answers!
by: Ahrin Mishan | Fri, Feb 14, 2014 |

"One person came to mind—Rita Hillman! I was in the second class of Hillman Scholars and was fortunate to have the opportunity to get to know Mrs. Hillman. I traveled between NY and Philly a handful of times in a car with her and the time that we spent chatting was priceless. Not only did she serve as an inspiration with regard to the nursing profession and how she valued it, but she served as a role model as a philanthropist.

In her memory, my husband and I have established a program at Penn's School of Nursing to help nursing students pursue their dreams. Mrs. Hillman enabled me to do that, and I felt strongly about paying it forward as a way of honoring her legacy at Penn."
