Rutgers midwife wins humanism in healthcare award at 77
Elaine Diegmann appreciates simple pleasures an average 77-year-old woman would enjoy, such as collecting antique dolls, gardening and watching ocean waves meet the shore. However, she still sees no end to her expansive midwifery career — or at least avoids the thought of retirement.
Diegmann, director of the Nurse Midwifery Program at Rutgers, has recently earned the Lester Z. Lieberman Humanism in Healthcare Award, which is given to individuals for “treating patients and their families with exceptional kindness, compassion, and respect,” according to the School of Nursing website.Dec 8 2014
