Dr. Laura Rosenthal's journey in nursing is a testament to the power of dedication and continuous growth. After earning her Bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 2000, she dove straight into hands-on patient care, working in acute and inpatient settings. Her passion for advancing healthcare led her to pursue further education, earning her Master's from Case Western University and later a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Colorado.

At the University of Colorado Hospital, Laura broke new ground by helping create one of the first fellowships for advanced practice clinicians in hospital medicine. As President of the Colorado Nurses Association, she advocated for healthcare improvements through legislative action.

Today, she focuses on quality improvement and educating the next generation of DNP students, proving that one person's dedication can create ripples of positive change throughout healthcare.
