Dr. Uguru serves as a mentor and preceptor for undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students in nursing, education, psychology, leadership, and executive health systems management. Her passion for ensuring equitable and just health care extends beyond simply leading by example.
Dr. Jenny Uguru is a compassionate and kind leader and a mentor who is passionate about the provision of quality patient care, staff engagement, innovation, nursing scholarship, volunteerism and wellness. She believes that nurses have the power to improve care outcomes and encourages them to also practice self-care and wellness and engage in personal growth and professional development.
Dr. Uguru is the Coordinator for the DAISY Award and ancillary staff award, Catch a Star, at NYC Health + Hospitals/ Woodhull. She is committed to nursing recognition and celebrating extraordinary nursing and ancillary staff who engage in person-centered care through effective communication, collaboration, and kindness.
Dr. Uguru also serves as the liaison for Community Affairs within NYC Health + Hospitals/ Woodhull, ensuring that the nursing staff participate in events which support equitable health care, health literacy and education, address the social determinants of health, improve access, and provide equitable resources for my patient population and the community. She showcases her commitment and dedication to public service and community engagement by collaborating with her colleagues and spearheading the first Nursing Community Health Fair at the facility level.

Her passion for ensuring equitable and just health care extends beyond simply leading by example. Dr. Uguru states, “Being a mentor allows me to continue educating the next generation about the importance of ensuring equitable health, wellness, and positive outcomes.” Because of her desire to support her colleagues in leading by example, she wrote a justification that was approved for nursing certification for the Nurse leaders, ensuring that they can showcase their expertise as an exemplar to their staff, colleagues, and the community.
As an advocate for healthcare and nursing, she supports the development of policies and procedures that dissolve disparities and inequities and instead positively impact person-centered healthcare, nurse-patient-family partnerships, patient populations, and the communities where her patients live, learn, play, and pray.
As a nurse leader, she regularly spearheads and collaborates with the interprofessional team's innovative means to engage patients, their families, and the community, and supports health equity efforts, particularly those related to the social determinants of health, which negatively impact her patient populations, and includes a health equity lens that supports diversity and fairness.
As a research scholar, she also continues to uphold and represent the high standards of quality care in the public health sector by publishing quality improvement and research projects which has allowed for the dissemination of best practices, participating in poster and podium presentations in national and international conferences, and engaging in the work of several professional organizations which impact the standards provided for nursing and quality care.
