Concordia College Nursing Innovator Wins National Award
By North Callahan, Senior Director of Marketing, Concordia College
Dec. 16, 2015: Lucia Alfano, RN, MA, and a member of the faculty in the nursing program at Concordia College, has been named a winner of the Culture of Health: Breakthrough Leaders in Nursing Award.
The award is a joint initiative of AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), the AARP Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It honors nurse leaders who have developed innovative approaches to improve health and health care. The Culture of Health: Breakthrough Leaders in Nursing Award is part of a concerted effort to celebrate nurse leaders and position nurses for leadership and executive roles to help people live healthier lives and create healthier communities.
In her efforts to help promote a more diverse nursing workforce, Ms. Alfano founded the Westchester County, New York, chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses. She is also involved in improving nursing workforce diversity through the New York State Action Coalition.
The work of this year's award recipients represents bold efforts to give everyone in America his or her greatest opportunity to live the healthiest lives possible. Their work aims to: prevent and reduce child abuse; develop wellness programs for the uninsured; pioneer the use of avatars to help adolescents cope with mental health issues; improve access to healthy food and healthy living opportunities; prevent suicide and substance abuse among veterans; improve care for older adults; and increase diversity in the nursing workforce and the number of nurses serving on boards.
The Concordia College Nursing Program is considered to be among the best in the state, with an outstanding NCLEX Pass Rate first-time pass rate that is in the top ten baccalaureate nursing programs in New York State.
Concordia College nursing students are 100% employed within six months of passing the RN licensing exam.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
