Sandra Burgener
Nursing, IUPUI
Burgener is co-founder of the Broadway Shalom Wellness Center, the first working example of her plan for a network of church-based, nurse managed clinics than can reach into the inner city and provide health care for often neglected populations. The center brought together the facilities and access of a church with the knowledge and training of a corps of nurses. In one year, the center immunized more than 80 children, provided cancer screening to 199 women, helped 16 young men complete its anger control program and helped hundreds of other patients handle health problems. In 1996, Burgener received the Midwest Alliance in Nursing's Leadership Award for Excellence in Geriatric Care for her work to improve the quality of life for elderly patients and recently, along with colleague Su Moore, received the prestigious Monroe E. Trout Premier Cares Award.

Pediatrics, IUPUI
When Shapiro came to Indiana in 1987, comprehensive medical care for hemophiliacs in the state was practically nonexistent.
Today, due to her efforts, the IU School of Medicine has one of the largest and most respected bleeding disorder treatment centers in the United States. The Indiana Hemophilia Comprehensive Center at James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis provides advanced care for more than 700 persons with bleeding disorders.
Not long after coming to the state, Shapiro discovered a large number of Amish men with hemophilia, a condition that had gone undiagnosed and untreated due to the Amish's insular lifestyle. She lobbied the Indiana State Department of Health to establish a program that distributes blood clotting factor products among the Amish and founded a clinic among them.
