Wayne State University’s College of Nursing honored HAVEN’s CEO Beth Morrison with a LifeLine Award at their Tenth Annual awards reception on September 14.
Morrison is among four recipients of the award that recognizes leaders who enhance the well-being of this region. She accepted the award in acknowledgment of her leadership and efforts in the fight against domestic violence and sexual assault.

The LifeLine Awards were established in 2001 by the Wayne State University College of Nursing to recognize health care achievements that are regional, national or global in their impact. The awards event also raises funds for scholarships for Wayne State University nursing students and assists in faculty recruitment. Over $300,000 has been raised for nursing scholarships since the inception of the LifeLine Awards.
