The National Association For Continence (NAFC) presented Margaret "Amy" Hull, RNC, MSN, WHCNP, with its Rodney Appell Continence Care Champion Award at the Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates (SUNA) annual awards luncheon on March 3, 2012 held during the 2012 SUNA Annual Symposium in San Francisco. Cheryl LeCroy, MSN, RN, a member of NAFC's board of directors and past Continence Care Champion Award recipient, presented the award.
Hull, program coordinator and instructor at Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, is an accomplished educator, researcher and clinician. After graduating magna cum lade with a masters of science in nursing from Vanderbilt, Hull has worked as a women's health nurse practitioner since 1994 providing care and guidance to women with pelvic floor dysfunction. In recent years, SUNA granted her $20,000 to examine the comparative benefit of different exercise programs for women with stress urinary incontinence. Her research has been published in both nursing and physician reviewed journals.
"We are delighted and proud that Amy has been chosen as the latest Continence Care Champion," said Colleen Conway-Welch, PhD, CNM, dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Nursing. "The care and knowledge she gives to her patients and students directly reflect the mission of this award to recognize health care providers who provide outstanding contributions to the continence care field."
