An alumna of the School of Nursing has established an endowment that will support leadership efforts by School of Health Professions faculty in the area of rehabilitation.
Debbie Oveland, BSN, MSN, and a board-certified family nurse practitioner, signed the agreement in June 2018 to establish the Oveland Family Leadership Endowment Fund in Rehabilitation and Research.
The endowment agreement states "the Oveland Family shares a lifelong passion built upon an unwavering spirit to support individuals with disabilities and special needs by providing the best quality of rehabilitation and patient services."
Oveland said she hopes the endowment will foster education and research in the School of Health Professions related to how best to provide services to patients with disabilities and special needs.
"Open doors for these young adults," she said of her dream for the fund.
"They may not look perfect or act perfect ... but they are people."
