Betty Irene Moore Fellow explores dementia caregiving, nursing science and faith in new book
Fayron Epps, 2022 cohort Betty Irene Moore Fellow, published “From Faith to Action: My Journey to Healing Communities Facing Dementia."
After years of answering questions about the intersection of dementia care, faith and nursing science, Fayron Epps, a 2022 cohort Betty Irene Moore Fellow, turned her personal and professional journey into the book "From Faith to Action: My Journey to Healing Communities Facing Dementia."
The book offers a personal yet practical account of her journey. She invites readers to understand her work and join her in building more compassionate, faith-centered communities that support caregivers, reduce stigma and foster healing for families affected by dementia.
Research spotlights how Betty Irene Moore Fellowship redefines health care leadership
Over the years, Betty Irene Moore Fellows have come together at convocation events, building lasting connections as they celebrate milestones, leadership and their shared commitment to advancing health care.
With the right support, nurse scientists don’t just improve health care — they transform it. That impact shines through in a new collection of manuscripts in Nursing Outlook, the official journal of the American Academy of Nursing, showcasing how the Betty Irene Moore Fellowship for Nurse Leaders and Innovators is reshaping the future of nursing leadership.
More than 50 fellows collaborated through writing retreats and monthly sessions to develop "Betty Irene Moore Nurse Leader and Innovator Fellows: Co-Creating a Preferred Future." The result is a compelling collection of scholarship that highlights the fellowship’s core themes — brought to life through real-world innovation, leadership and lived experience.
