As 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing, the Perspectives in Ambulatory Care column is pleased to feature a series by notable leaders in the fields of ambulatory, community, and public health care focusing on historic achievements, who will present challenges and future visions. In this article, renowned public health nurse educator and researcher Dr. Rosanna DeMarco presents a rich history of nursing leadership through a community engaged and focused care lens, and offers her career and research as an exemplar of how nurses engage with people in their daily lives and positively affect individual, family, and community-centric health outcomes outside acute-care.
