USA Chief Nursing Officer Named To Top List

Following successful initiatives to improve patient access and care, Becker’s Hospital Review has named USA Health’s Vicki Curtis to its list of Chief Nursing Officers to Know for 2024. Curtis was named chief nursing officer at Children’s & Women’s Hospital in Mobile in 2023. With more than two decades of experience in women’s healthcare, Curtis has driven key initiatives at USA Health, including a partnership with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to reduce perinatal and maternal morbidity. Under her leadership, Children’s & Women’s Hospital was one of only five sites nationwide chosen for IHI’s program targeting postpartum care inequities for Black mothers, and Curtis spearheaded new initiatives like the AdaptX data collection program and an at-home blood pressure monitoring system for new mothers at risk for preeclampsia.
