Announcing the Helen Miaskowski Memorial Award Fund

The UCSF School of Nursing and the UCSF Department of Nursing are deeply honored to announce a generous gift from Christine Miaskowski, PhD, RN, FAAN, professor, which will impact the future of nursing research and innovation at UCSF. 

Her extraordinary gift established the Helen Miaskowski Memorial Award Fund, created in loving memory of Dr. Miaskowski’s mother, Helen Miaskowski. The Fund supports the continued growth and success of the Center for Nursing Excellence and Innovation, empowering clinical nurse researchers and advancing critical projects that align with the strategic initiatives of UCSF Health’s Department of Nursing. 

The Fund will ensure ongoing support for cutting-edge research and initiatives that directly benefit the nursing community, drive improvements in patient care, and foster the development of nursing leaders of tomorrow. This visionary donation enables UCSF to continue pioneering new ways to enhance health care delivery and improve patient outcomes, while reinforcing the commitment to excellence in nursing education, research and practice. 

We express our deepest gratitude to Dr. Miaskowski for her support, dedication to the nursing profession, and belief in the power of research to improve lives. This generous gift will have a lasting impact on the future of nursing and the well-being of countless individuals and communities. 

To honor Dr. Miaskowski as she retires from UCSF, please consider joining in her vision to shape the future of nursing science and our academic-health system partnership by making a gift to the Helen Miaskowski Memorial Award Fund.
