  • John Westerman, Narrator Dominique A. Tobbell, Ph.D. Interviewer
    John Westerman, Narrator Dominique A. Tobbell, Ph.D. Interviewer ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ACADEMIC HEALTH CENTER ORAL HISTORY PROJECT In 1970, the University of Minnesota’s previously autonomous College of Pharmacy and School of Dentistry were reorganized, together with the Schools of Nursing, Medicine, and Public Health, and the University Hospitals, into a centrally organized and administered Academic Health Center (AHC). The university’s College of Veterinary Medicine was also closely aligned with the AHC at this time, becoming formally incorporated into the AHC in 1985. The development of the AHC made possible the coordination and integration of the education and training of the health care professions and was part of a national trend which saw academic health centers emerge as the dominant institution in American health care in the last third of the 20th century. AHCs became not only the primary sites of health care education, but also critical sites of health sciences research and health care delivery. The University of Minnesota’s Academic Health Center Oral History Project preserves the personal stories of key individuals who were involved with the formation of the university’s Academic Health Center, served in leadership roles, or have specific insights into the institution’s history. By bringing together a representative group of figures in the history of the University of Minnesota’s AHC, this project provides compelling documentation of recent developments in the history of American health care education, practice, and policy. 2 Biographical Sketch John Westerman was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After earning a bachelor of science in law from the University of Minnesota in 1954 and then attending law school for two years, he was called up as a member of the ROTC to serve in the Air Force.

  • Leadership for Relationship-Based Care Marie Manthey Magnet
    Leadership for Relationship-Based Care Marie Manthey Magnet Conference Plenary Session Delivered October 17, 2004 Good morning. It is my pleasure to introduce the distinguished nurse who developed the concept of Primary Nursing, Marie Manthey. Marie is founder and President Emeritus of Creative Health Care Management, a full-service consultation company specializing in professional practice, management training, staff empowerment, and work redesign. Marie's interest in the delivery of hospital services began in the1960s, when she developed the concept of Primary Nursing. Since that time she has designed and implemented Primary Nursing programs for numerous hospitals. Prior to consulting, Marie held positions at every level of nursing, from staff nurse to vice president for patient services. Marie received her nursing diploma from Saint Elizabeth's Hospital in Chicago, and both her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Minnesota. In 1994 Marie was elected to the Royal College of Nursing in the United Kingdom, at the time one of only four American nurses to be so honored. In May 1998 she was selected for fellowship in the American Academy of Nursing. Marie has written many articles on timely nursing topics, in addition to the book The Practice of Primary Nursing. It is truly a pleasure to have such a nursing icon among us. Please welcome Marie Manthey. (applause) Good morning. Thank you. I can't tell you what an honor it is to be here in this group of nursing leaders who represent the best in the United States. I am absolutely thrilled to be here. I am coming from another exciting event some of you know about, a program we had in Minnesota last weekend: A Summit of Sages.
