Dear Fellow Graduates of St Elizabeth’s Hospital S.O.N.,
It is a great honor to represent you all as President of the St. Elizabeth’s School of Nursing Alumni Association. We have board members who are just as enthusiastic and committed to continuing the rich tradition of this Alumni Association.
I am filled with gratitude for the unwavering dedication and commitment of all the members who laid the groundwork for where we are today. We are so fortunate to be guided by their legacy. On a personal note, I want to specifically thank Annette McGourty, Fran Nelligan, and Marty Daniels. The countless hours you have poured into this association and the selfless guidance you've offered the current board have truly shown the love you have for this organization and its members. Thank you for shaping us, and for your incredible generosity with your time.
Our hope is to keep this alumni association strong and keep to its founding mission of promoting the spiritual and cultural interests of the nursing profession; and rendering mutual help and comfort to one another in time of sickness, misfortune or need.
Please take the time to review this website, join our association, and come to our yearly banquet. We know that our graduates are our strength and we would like to be a source of friendship and good for each other and others.
With gratitude,
Susanne Hegarty Johnson Class of ‘83

Dear fellow graduates and members of the St. Elizabeth Hospital S.O.N.,
It is with mixed emotions that I inform you that I have passed on the role of President of our Alumni Association
effective April 13, 2025.
My decision was made following many hours of self-reflection and a question of what becomes most important in one’s “journey of seventeen years”.
Now that the decision has been made; I am forever grateful for each personal relationship afforded me as well as each challenge we faced “head on” together. I leave with a great sense of honor and pride for the accomplishments made during my tenure as President as well as the opportunity to work with and for such amazing women/men.
I leave you all in very capable hands with a Leader and board members who are as passionate and committed to our traditions and our mission.
In closing; as I embark on “new beginnings”, please know that my journey has been most rewarding.
I hope that I have served you well.
With Gratitude and Thanks,
Annette M Walsh McGourty RN 68’
