Overview
The Susan McGuire-Pizzo Memorial Scholarship is sponsored by the RI Hospital United Nurses & Allied Professionals to honor the spirit and dedication of our beloved colleague.  Sue brought a genuine commitment of caring to each of her roles as a mother, wife, nurse and union leader. She was an independent thinker, fair to all, loyal, and a survivor. Sue's lively personality and passion was obvious to all the lives she touched.
