LYNNE CHASE, RN, CEN, MMgt, MPH
Picture
Lynne Chase is an American Registered Nurse currently practicing at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. The majority of her career has been in emergency medicine while traveling across the United States where she has noted vast differences and disparities in health care delivery. This observation was further accentuated upon moving to the Middle East where she investigated this subject further by obtaining her Masters in Public Health (MPH) from the University of Liverpool, UK and a Masters for International Health Leadership (IMHL) at McGill University, in Canada. Her MPH program provided insight into public health from an international perspective—recognizing similarities and differences in health outcomes determined by the type of delivery system and location of population receiving care. Notably, wherever people live, the social determinants of health remain the most important factors in determining overall well-being.
Her McGill IMHL program consisted of a cohort of experienced international participants who shared the common goal of developing innovative solutions to challenge the most complex health care problems. During this program, Lynne traveled to India with the IMHL cohort to study the concept of “collaboration” where she visited many successful organizations who demonstrated effective outcomes using mentorship, diversity and inclusion as essential components in their shared processes. Additionally, she has traveled to many countries and presented in Canada, Oman, Jordan, and the Czech Republic.

Lynne believes it is important for nurses to engage with nurses of all cultures—outside their  organizations—so that they may be able to learn from one another, respect one another, and thus provide culturally competent inclusive care to all people. Diversity provides access to perspectives outside our traditional models thus facilitating improved mentorship, problem solving, and collaboration. When inclusion is incorporated as an essential component—alongside diversity—retention is also improved.

Lynne has served as an informal Advisor to NIGH’s Core Team for more than a decade and we are privileged to welcome her to our official Advisory Council–looking forward to the contributions she can and will make to the mandates of the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health.
