Mary
Gullatte, director of nursing for patient oncology and transplant
services for Emory Hospitals and the Winship Cancer Institute, was
named the 2004 Nurse of the Year by the Georgia Nursing Association.
A 26-year employee of Emory, Gullatte has earned her master's of
nursing and her credential as advanced-practice nurse practitioner
during her time here. Gullatte knew she wanted to be a nurse ever
since the third grade, when she told her uncle as much in a letter.
She has served on the boards of the American Cancer Society and the
National Oncology Nursing Society, and as a volunteer for many organizations,
including the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association
and the Georgia Special Olympics. “We do whatever it takes,” she
says of being an oncology nurse. “Healing is more than physical.” Photo
