LETTER
FROM

Dr. Tonges
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I'm very pleased to once again have the
opportunity to share our highlights for
the year. We are strongly committed
to advancing the art and science of
nursing, and we are fortunate to work in
an environment that supports both the
delivery of excellent nursing care and the
workplace well-being of the nursing staff

providing this care.
The English philosopher Alfred North
Whitehead once wrote, "The art of
progress is to preserve order amid change,
and to preserve change amid order."
I would suggest that UNC Medical Center
(UNCMC) Nursing is both a stabilizing
force and a source of innovation in today's
rapidly changing health care environment.
