We are beyond proud to celebrate Betty B. on earning her Master’s degree in Health Informatics from UNT–Denton 🎓
From a Bachelor’s in Health Science (Healthcare Administration emphasis) to a master’s that blends technology and patient care, Betty is showing what’s possible with vision, persistence, and purpose. Her journey reflects resilience and determination, and she’s opening doors—not just for herself, but for her siblings who are watching her lead the way.
With goals of becoming a nurse informatics leader and one day a CIO, Betty is breaking barriers and redefining what leadership in healthcare can look like.
Congratulations, Betty. The future is brighter because you’re in it!
