Nancy O'Malley, MA RN CPAN CAPA

Nancy O'Malley was born in West Texas and is a graduate of Baylor University School of Nursing and Webster University. She moved to Colorado, married Bob O'Malley, and has three children. Nancy is a nursing educator at Parker Adventist Hospital. As an RN practicing primarily in the area of preoperative and postoperative nursing, she teaches many classes related to cardiac and surgical patient care. She also currently serves on the American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) Board of Directors.  

During her first trip in 2007, it became clear that this would become a commitment to serve our Lord through reaching out to the people of Cambodia . Family, friends, and ASPAN nurses donated money for over 125 stethoscopes to be given to the nursing and medical students in just a few months' time, and it became apparent that the need for books and teaching tools as well as other medical supplies could be met through many avenues. People just need to know about the opportunities so they can rise to meet those needs. This organization's mission is to not only to serve the immediate needs of people but also to raise the level of health by supporting the Cambodian School of Nursing and School of Medicine. And we have an even higher calling--to share the love of God through Jesus Christ with these wonderful people--and that makes this mission a priority.
