Mary Anne Moreno has a deep passion for both medicine and local history, making it a perfect fit for her to combine these interests in the 2nd Friday presentation, “Health Care in the Copper Triangle Over the Years,” at the Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum in Miami, Friday, Nov. 8, starting at 6:30 p.m.
Focusing on the history of health care in Globe, Miami and surrounding communities, Mary Anne will delve into health care, hospitals and emergency services from about 1900 to the present.
Mary Anne began her health care career when she graduated from Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing in 1962, and continued nursing in Tucson before coming to Gila General Hospital in 1966, Miami Inspiration Hospital in 1972, and as a school nurse from 1995-2000. Along the way, she continued her training by obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree (1986) and a Masters of Business Administration (1990).
By 2000, she branched out into public administration as executive director of the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation, then added the directorship of the Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce from 2002-2006.
She was a clinical instructor for the Gila Pueblo Campus of Eastern Arizona College until her retirement last year. Through the years, she was also an enthusiastic supporter of United Fund of Globe-Miami, Bullion Plaza Cultural Center & Museum, Gila County Historical Society and the Globe-Miami Area Memorial Foundation.
2nd Friday programs are always free to the public.
