The National Association Directors of Nursing Administration (NADONA) is pleased to announce Emma Duquette as the 2023 winner of the Nurse Leader of the Year Award.

According to Stacey Johnson, DNP, Chief Nursing Officer for Trinity Health Senior Communities: “What sets Emma apart is her unwavering commitment to quality of care and compassionate services for our residents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she stepped in to lead during incredibly challenging times. She was a strong presence, supporting residents, staff, and families. When COVID outbreaks began…she did not hesitate to put on her PPE and jump into work on COVID neighborhoods in the role of nursing assistant, nurse, server, and/or housekeeper. She did whatever it took to ensure residents were cared for. She is a role model for how a nurse leader should conduct herself.”
