Flying the Colors: Empire State Building Lights to Honor Jonas Center

 

In celebration of ten years of advancing healthcare through nursing, the Jonas Center for Nursing & Veterans Healthcare will be recognized on March 18 through the lights on the Empire State Building. The building will be lit with Jonas' signature colors. 

 

Envisioning a simple idea to “care for those who care for us,” Barbara and Donald Jonas ten years ago sold a portion of their noted art collection to establish a first-of-its-kind nursing philanthropy. That humble idea has blossomed to become the nation’s leading philanthropic funder of graduate nursing education.

 

On March 18, the Jonas Center for Nursing and Veterans Healthcare will host 300 supporters from the philanthropic, business and nursing communities as it celebrates the Center’s achievements – including preparing 1,000 nurse faculty and clinical leaders – and as it honors others who have helped to have enhance and advance the nursing profession through their professional and charitable endeavors. More than 40 of the nation’s top nursing deans and 20 Jonas Nurse Leaders Scholars will also attend. . .
