Brown to be Inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing

Dr. Holly Brown, executive director of the Golisano Institute for Developmental Disability Nursing at St. John Fisher University, has been selected to be inducted as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing.

The newest Fellows, selected from a competitive pool of candidates, represent 39 states, the District of Columbia, and 17 countries. Fellows deepen the thought leadership of the Academy’s Fellowship, growing its strength to more than 3,600 dedicated nurses who together will advance the Academy’s mission focused on impacting policy through nursing leadership, innovation, and science. 

Brown and the 2026 inductees will be recognized for their substantial, sustained, and significant contributions to health and healthcare at the Academy’s annual Health Policy Conference, taking place on October 8 – 10, 2026 in Washington, DC during the Induction Ceremony scheduled for October 10, the final day of the conference. 

After the ceremony, the new inductees can use their Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing (FAAN) credential, the most prestigious recognition in nursing.
