Congratulations Yolanda Marrow DNP RN on your new appointment as the Cooley Dickinson Hospital Emergency Department Nursing Director. Cooley is lucky to have you!

🎉 Congratulations to our own Dr. Yolanda Marrow, DNP, RN! 🎉

We’re so proud to celebrate MLKFS board member Dr. Yolanda Marrow on her appointment as the new Nursing Director for the Emergency Department at Cooley Dickinson Hospital, starting July 13! 👏

With more than 25 years of nursing leadership experience — spanning emergency and trauma care, quality and safety, and clinical operations — Dr. Marrow has spent her career lifting up teams, strengthening patient care, and mentoring the next generation of nurse leaders. That same spirit of service is exactly what she brings to our MLKFS family. 💛

Dr. Marrow’s rise into this new role is Love in Action in real time — another example of what it looks like to build Beloved Community, one leader at a time. And representation matters: seeing her step into this position is a powerful reminder to our young people, our staff, and our whole community of what’s possible when talent, dedication, and heart come together. 🌟

From all of us at Martin Luther King, Jr. Family Services — congratulations, Yolanda!

Here’s to this exciting new chapter! 🩺✨
