In Memory of Mary K Wollan, RN, BAN, ONC
It is with great sadness that the NAON family announces the sudden passing of Mary K Wollan, RN, BAN, ONC on March 10, 2018. Mary K was elected to the NAON Board as Director and then 29th President 2008-2009. Her theme of Uniting the World of Orthopaedics was her mantra not only during her presidency but throughout her career as she brought the orthopaedic team together to serve patients. She was the chair of the 30th anniversary committee for NAON and continued this work until the present by organizing NAON memorabilia and writing the history pages on the website. Locally she was the president and mainstay of the Twin Cities Chapter of NAON. Known as one of the longest running orthopaedic nursing conferences in the country Mary K chaired their well known annual meeting for many years.
Donations in her memory can be made to the NAON Foundation.
