With more than 35 years of experience in nursing including roles in nursing practice, instruction, research, management, and education policy, Yoho is well prepared to take over support for the nursing programs offered at Herzing. Yoho tells Herzing.edu:

“I’m looking forward to preparing Herzing students to meet the country’s future healthcare needs because the demand for nurses will be strong for many years. We will ensure that Herzing nursing graduates are ready to care for today’s patients as well as for future healthcare challenges.”
