Nurse at 90: Betty Phillips' Legacy | Charlottesville News

At 90, Betty Phillips still walks into UVA Health’s plastic surgery clinic every Monday—and sometimes Friday—driven by a 70-year passion for healing. Graduating nursing school in 1956, she returned to school twice for more degrees and even took a brief break before coming back in 2000. Inspired by her grandmother and her first “patient”—a doll—Betty credits her enduring energy to daily exercise and good food. She laughs that she’ll keep working as long as she remembers her sign-in, calling nursing “the greatest profession you could have.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
