Testimonials
"Holly is an extremely dedicated nurse researcher who is creating a foundational instrument to measure servant-leadership characteristics of nurse leaders. This work is imperative for understanding those important characteristics of nursing leaders to provide new and innovative ways to inspire and motivate patient care team members during constant transition and change in meaningful ways."

"From our first meeting, I intuited Holly's commitment to servant leadership and her personal adoption of the philosophy. She has used that as a basis to put principles into action. If 'what is measured is what is done', Holly has offered nursing and health care organizations a real gift in providing tools and approaches that assess outcomes and teach through the act of assessment itself."

"I have known Ms. Hall greater than 30 years. At the time, the nursing profession was focused on shortening hospital stays and reducing recidivism. The vehicle to reach these goals was by developing intravenous therapeutic teams in hospitals. These teams needed a body to guide the work to accomplish the goals. Ms. Hall was a major contributor in establishing the Intravenous Nurses Society of Southwest Ohio. Today, she is just as much a visionary now as she was then. We need Ms. Hall and others like her because she believes in the concerted action of all to solve a problem and it is an honor for me to recommend her in this needed capacity for the greater good."

Founder of Intravenous Nurses Society of Southwestern Ohio (Buckeye Chapter)
"Dr. Holly Hall’s work on servant leadership will have a significant impact on the way nurse leaders view their role within the healthcare environment. The insights into the role of nurse leaders as servant leaders is likely to infuse all levels of nursing with a broader understanding of their roles as servant leaders as well, transforming the nurse-patient relationship going forward. Equally as important, is Dr. Hall’s contribution to promotion of nursing research nationally through her openness and inclusion of other researchers’ participation in her study to develop an instrument that measures servant-leadership characteristics of nurse leaders."

"Like Florence Nightingale, who believed nurses “must be learning all of our lives,” Holly continues her research. More importantly, Holly puts her learnings into practice and embodies the compassionate healer who prioritizes the collective good over personal gain. She is an inspiration, a skilled educator, a servant-leader extraordinaire. I’m proud to call her a friend."

"Holly has always lived by and demonstrated an overwhelming capacity to enrich the lives of others in her community. Holly is passionate about educating and empowering others. Holly and I co-founded Unlimited Health Concepts, a 501(c)3 organization to educate healthcare leaders and the community on current and pending healthcare legislation. During the time, the Medicare system in the U.S. was preparing to transition from a fee-for-service model to a prospective payment system (PPS), there was chaos, confusion—even fear-mongering—among healthcare providers. Holly was able to secure a U.S. government official and a national attorney with extensive experience in health care policy to provide seminars to local and State healthcare providers on the impending changes. In an uncertain health environment, 'a leader acts'.
