School Health Administrator Anne L. Hedges, RN, MSN, NCSN, has retired after nearly 15 years at the helm of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County’s nationally-recognized School Health program. At its regular monthly meeting, the Health Care District’s Board of Commissioners and Chief Executive Officer honored Hedges for her leadership and dedication. Hedges, who joined the District in 1998, developed the School Health program with the goal of placing a registered nurse in every public school in the county. As a result of her vision and guidance, the program has matured into a comprehensive clinical operation of more than 200 full-time registered nurses in 169 public schools who keep 170,000 students from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade healthy and ready to learn.
