Reid was among 50 honorees selected “for the impact they have had on the mental, physical and spiritual well-being of others,” said nursing dean Dr. Nena F. Sanders, adding that they have perpetuated a legacy of academic excellence, caring, compassion and service around the world in order to make a significant impact on humanity.
The 50 award recipients all hold degrees from the School of Nursing or its forerunner, Birmingham Baptist Hospital. They represent a variety of specialties within the nursing profession, entrepreneurship and missions.
More than 425 guests attended the anniversary gala at The Club in Birmingham. Each Living Legacy honoree received an inscribed globe signifying the worldwide impact of Moffett nurses.
