Bridgeport Hospital

Nursing leaders join Johnson & Johnson Nursing Innovation Fellowship Program

Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellows Mary Christoffersen, RN, DNP
Bridgeport Hospital nurses were honored during the recent Evening of Nursing and Philanthropy.

The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing has announced that Bridgeport Hospital’s Mary Christoffersen, RN, DNP, senior vice president and chief nursing officer, and Joubin Bavarian, RN, vice president, Operations and Nursing, have been selected to participate in the Johnson & Johnson Nurse Innovation Fellowship Program (JJNIF).

JJNIF, powered by Penn Nursing and the Wharton School, is a one-year, team-based nursing fellowship involving nurse leaders from around the country. The fellowship is unique in that two nurse leaders – one CNO or nurse executive and one other senior nurse leader from the same organization – work together to address a real-world challenge their health system is facing using human-centered design and business and leadership principles specific to innovation.
