"As President of CCBN, during 1995-1999, I felt privileged to drive the organization forward in its quest for national engagement, community awareness and health education. CCBN gained the support of local health care organizations. We also worked with community organizations such as Urban League, Cleveland Public Health Department, Greater Cleveland Health Education Service, Cleveland Medical Association and offered Career Day presentations to middle and high school students. A huge focus was place on the infrastructure of the organization. We gained a presence in the city which holds to the present time. We grew as an organization and demonstrated sustainability and established many healthy partnerships. As we grew as an organization, young nurses joined us and made us stronger. The evidence holds true today." CCBN Past President Dr. Catherine Roscoe-Herbert
