In Memory: Nursing Program Gift


6/16/16

in memory lori

Lori Beck, Minnesota West 1990 Nursing graduate, class president, and honors graduate, believed in compassionate care, in giving back, and in helping others.


Which is exactly what her husband, Brian, is doing in her memory. Lori recently passed away after a battle with cancer; and as Lori wished, he made a special stop at Minnesota West.


Lori loved her experience at Minnesota West.  She also knew the struggles of being a nursing student and how the little things helped.


Lori had over 120 pieces of nursing attire, numerous shoes, sphygmomanometers, and stethoscopes that she wanted donated to the Minnesota West Nursing program to help students as they start their careers.


Lori had most recently been in nursing in White Bear Lake. She is remembered for her passion in nursing and care for her patients.


Students that have a need or want for the articles will have the opportunity to donate to a fund for a nursing scholarship in Lori’s memory.
