Palmer honored by Honor Flight Rochester


Laurie Palmer, Professor and Chairperson of the Nursing Department and her husband, Rick were honored on 1-16-16 by receiving the ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award from Honor Flight Rochester (HFR). Both have been involved with HFR since its beginning in 2008. Laurie has served as flight safety nurse, and does home visits and phone calls to assess the veterans prior to their flights. As of December, 2015, HFR has escorted 2,121 veterans on 45 missions from Rochester to visit their memorials in Washington, DC. Each HFR mission escorts approximately 50 veterans free of charge, with donations covering the expenses of the veterans.

Please join the Nursing Department in congratulating Laurie on this well deserved honor.
