## Resource

Michele K. Sutton, CEO of North Oaks Health, just made history as the first-ever recipient of Southeastern Louisiana University’s new Innovator of the Year Award—honoring her groundbreaking partnership with the university to fast-track nursing careers. Under her leadership, students now gain real-world experience as nurse techs while still in school, and the collaboration has sparked multiple clinical programs and faculty support. As a proud alum, Sutton embodies the spirit of giving back—and the university is using her success to inspire others to innovate boldly, rethink systems, and lead with courage. This alliance is reshaping how healthcare and education can team up to build tomorrow’s top medical talent. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
