Rachel Senefeld Kromer, MSN, RN, NPD-BC, NEA-BC, director of Clinical Education and Professional Development for Vanderbilt University Hospital, has been elected to the board of directors of the Association for Nursing Professional Development.

Medical Center Drive will be closed from south of the Vanderbilt University Hospital/Critical Care Tower to the entrance into The Vanderbilt Clinic to set a crane needed to install a new bridge for the vertical expansion of the Vanderbilt University Hospital, also known as the New Tower building.

The new rooms are the latest in a series of obstetrical enhancements, including the Vanderbilt University Hospital Labor and Delivery Entrance, that provide more space for the increased volume of mothers delivering at VUH.

Mary Pawlikowski, MA, MEd, PsyDABD, president of Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital and Vanderbilt Behavioral Health, will retire at the end of the fiscal year. A search will begin for the hospital’s new executive director.
