Class of: 1981

Stephanie (Danforth) Chafee

Stephanie (Danforth) Chafee (SON’81) of Teton Village, Wyo., was inducted into the American Academy of Nursing’s 2019 class of new fellows. A ceremony honoring the inductees—a group of highly distinguished nurse leaders—took place during the academy’s annual policy conference last October in Washington, D.C. Fellows are selected based on “their impressive contributions to increase access, reduce cost, and improve quality through nursing theory, practice, and science,” according to the academy. “Early in my career,” Stephanie says, “I recognized the stigma and disparities in healthcare. So, every step of my career has focused on building programs and services that would positively impact the health of our most vulnerable populations.”
