"My vision is that one day all staff are equally recognized and respected for the contribution they make in providing care to our patients, families, and each other. I believe in Margaret Mead's assessment of the power of people working together, 'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed people can change the world.' You can see this philosophy in action every day as I work with small groups across the institution implementing new initiatives."
Professional Overview

Jean joined the University of Michigan Health System in 1979.  Her career began at Baptist Memorial Hospital, Miami Florida, as a staff nurse in the Surgical Intensive Care Unit.  After moving to Ann Arbor in 1977 she worked part-time in the Thoracic Surgical Unit at “Old Main”.  In 1989 her career took a significant change when she agreed to assume full-time acting supervisory duties for the Thoracic Surgery Acute Care Unit and then as the permanent manager until 1999.  During that time she began and completed her Master’s work in Health Care Administration.
