Seven Emory nurses named Fellows in 2022 American Academy of Nursing class

Rose Horton, MSM, RNC-OB, NEA-BC – Emory Decatur Hospital

Specialty Director of Women and Infant Services / Emory Decatur Hospital

Horton works to combat maternal morbidity and mortality. Her use of the hashtag #notonmywatch drew attention to statistics showing that Black women are more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Her work received national attention, and she was tapped by the Biden administration to participate in a public-private partnership focusing on hospital-based quality improvement activities to advance equity in maternal health.
