Shanna Sullivan Email & Phone Number

As the Director of Integrative Nursing at DFCI for the last 8.5 years, I contributed to the education and professional development of nurses and other health care professionals in enhancing their individual and team resilience through the development and implementation of many integrative health programs. In my role, I also assisted the Executive and Clinical Nurse leaders in developing and implementing evidence-based integrative nursing practices that enhance the quality of life and outcomes for patients and families facing cancer. My resilience & well-being programs are based on the most current mindfulness and behavioral health research and seek to leverage organizational well-being resources by enhancing access and awareness among our diverse teams. I am passionate about advancing nurse-led innovation and integrative care within professional nursing practice. I bring a diverse perspective, an inclusive educational model and a holistic approach to the team, as I have worked in various settings, including medical-surgical, behavioral health and oncology clinical settings as well as in the academic setting. I am a skilled presenter and workshop facilitator with training in human-centered design approaches for complex problem solving and innovation. I have collaborated closely with oncology nursing teams at Boston Children's Hospital and Brigham and Women's Hospital to promote integrative wellness strategies as a part of everyday nursing care. I have a board certification as an Adult –Gerontological Clinical Nurse Specialist and training in mind-body therapies, acupressure, aromatherapy, and Reiki from the Center for Spirituality and Healing at the University of Minnesota.
