| DPC and the DPC Education Center Mourn the Passing of Diane Brisbane |
It is with a heavy heart that Dialysis Patient Citizens (DPC) and the DPC Education Center learned of the passing of former Board Member, Diane Brisbane.
Diane grew up in the South Jamaica section of Queens, NY and was raised in a household and community that taught family first and service to others. This is the mindset with which she pursued life. After getting her start as a nurses’ aide, she eventually advanced to EKG technician, and later to supervisor of the EKG department, and finally retired after 37 years of service. During the course of her career, she served on various committees to improve employee relations, educate employees, and unite the hospital and community, and was recognized for the New York City Health and Hospital Corporation’s achievement award for bringing diversity to the work force, among other awards.
