College of Nursing researcher helping make future brighter for transplant patients |
Dr. Haley Hoy, a professor of nursing at UAH, is pursuing a longstanding passion for research in the field of transplantation. As a UAH alumna, she embraces the latest technologies pushing the field of transplantation forward, such as machine learning – she also enjoys sharing her passions through teaching.
“The beauty of working in transplantation is that it is constantly changing and advancing at a rapid pace,” Hoy says. “Currently, advances in the procurement of organs using animal models and continuing to advance our understanding of the complex human immune system appear to be at the forefront.”

UAH employees take Make-A-Wish Alabama Trailblaze Challenge to help critically ill children |
Dr. Jennifer Bail, associate professor in the College of Nursing, and Laurel Long, associate vice president, Human Resources, participated in the Make-A-Wish Alabama Trailblaze Challenge earlier this year. The event raised more than $1 million to make wishes come true for children with critical illnesses.
“I'm already thinking about how can I train differently and get better prepared for next year,” says Long, who was surprised this year when her fellow hikers gave her the Spirit of Trailblazer Award. “Just try it. You have nothing to lose other than going on a few hikes and meeting some great people."
