In honor of Marcia S. Lorimer, MSN, CPNP, Assistant Clinical Professor Emerita, Duke University School of Nursing.
This legacy award is established with recognition, and in honor, of the over 40 years of clinical, scientific, and leadership Marcia S. Lorimer has demonstrated as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner.
