Artist Judith Snyderman Supports Geriatrics Nursing Research at Duke
When artist Judith Snyderman R.N.’64, Hon.’19 was in high school in Brooklyn, New York, her grandmother had a major stroke.
One side of her body was disabled, and she was moved to a nursing home. Snyderman recalls vividly how caregivers transferred her grandmother from the bed to a wheelchair. “I remember her helplessness, and I wished I could help her,” she says.
Snyderman decided to become a nurse and help others.
