Throughout her 51 year career, Helen-Ann has concentrated on hospital librarianship, especially clinical outreach, expert searching and teaching. Currently, Helen-Ann is the Informationist for Virtua Health, a 5-hospital community health system in southern New Jersey. Her totally digital library allows Helen-Ann to step out of the Library and make rounds and sit on many hospital wide committees. On Virtua’s first Magnet designation, Helen-Ann and her library’s information resources received a Magnet exemplar. Now, in the magnet renewal process, Helen-Ann continues to be on the Magnet Lead committee and a Magnet Champion.
