Busy nursing professor treasures time at St. Patrick Center
Margaret Benz is an assistant professor at the Trudy Busch Valentine Saint Louis University School of Nursing, which keeps her busy enough. She was appointed as the first nurse in the State of Missouri to the Missouri Health Net Oversight Committee, serving as vice chair until 2019 and continuing to serve on the rural health subcommittee. It’s just one of many things she’s involved in, reflected by a commendation award for volunteerism she received from President Obama for service to the community
Benz leaves plenty of time and energy for St. Patrick Center, where she has volunteered for more than 20 years. She serves on the board of directors, chaired the 30th anniversary Casserole Mass and has helped in many other ways, including as Gala chair for the Irish Open fundraiser.
