Marie Rohan's long career as a nurse has included clinical and community roles — including a number of "firsts." The diversity of her experiences and the colleagues she met along the way helped her recognize the need to address inequities in health care — a goal she has worked toward in both her career and in her retirement. 

Marie has received awards from the District I MNA for leadership in legislative activities, collaborated on research presented at a national geriatric conference, and authored papers in nursing diagnosis.
