Biography
Dr. Mary B. Green is a professional Nursing practitioner and educator. She has worked forty-eight years in diverse nursing and social science settings. Her area of concentration is Psychiatric/Community Behavioral Health Nursing. Her primary objective is two-fold: 1.) to educate and graduate highly skilled and compassionate Nursing and social science leaders, and 2.) stimulate their interests to go into their communities to assist and advocate for underserved/vulnerable populations in need of quality health care and services. Her major motivation is a desire to assist and facilitate those underserved/vulnerable segments of the community – the mentally challenged, those suffering from addictive disorders, the un/under-educated, intellectually/developmentally disabled, homeless, aged, at-risk ethnic adolescents, specifically males – in accessing quality healthcare and services which will maximize their holistic well-being and quality of life and ultimately produce positive biopsychosocial outcomes. Her personal philosophy is greatly influenced by Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring and Rosemarie Parse’s Human Becoming Theory: It is her ultimate belief that All individuals deserve to be educated, to receive quality healthcare, to have their basic needs met, and to be treated as human beings with respect, quality care, and dignity.
