We are deeply saddened by Dean Louise Fitzpatrick鈥檚 passing. She is a legend among leaders in academic nursing, known for her complete dedication to the Villanova University College of Nursing and advancement of its mission. 听Dr. Fitzpatrick fostered a global focus and the advancement of excellence in nursing education and research. 听She will be missed by all, but remembered always for her contributions to nursing and health.
