Boston College Connell School of Nursing Professor Ann Wolbert Burgess, a pioneer in forensic nursing whose life’s work has transformed how health care, law enforcement, and the courts understand and respond to violence, was honored with a Lifetime Legacy Award from the American Academy of Nursing (AAN). The award recognizes extraordinary individuals who have dedicated their life to advocating for positive health system changes.

“I’m deeply grateful to the American Academy of Nursing for this honor and to the colleagues and students who have helped carry this work forward,” said Burgess. “At Boston College, I have the privilege of working with students who bring new questions and a strong commitment to people affected by violence and trauma. Seeing the next generation take what we have learned and find ways to improve care is one of the most rewarding parts of my career.”

This award is the latest accolade for the highly respected nurse, whom the AAN previously designated a “Living Legend.” Burgess has also received a Living Legend Award from the New England Chapter of the American Psychiatric Nurses Association and been inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame, among other honors. In 2009, the International Association of Forensic Nurses established the Ann Burgess Forensic Nursing Award in her honor and bestowed her with the inaugural award.
