Dr. Suzanne Feetham

Dr. Suzanne Feetham

Suzanne Feetham is a nationally and internationally recognized leader who has affected policy change through her leadership positions in academia, health systems and the Federal government (NIH & HRSA). Her leadership and scholarship has advanced science in family research and the integration of genetics and genomics in national education, practice and policy.

Dr. Feetham was instrumental in building the science of pediatric nursing in the context of the family. Her seminal scholarship affected a change in the paradigm in family science from family-based deficits to family strengths. The Feetham Family Functioning Survey, developed in 1977, is used today in research of families across disciplines with known translations in 8 languages.
 
In the 1970’s, Dr. Feetham’s vision for genetics and families began. Before the mapping of the human genome, Dr. Feetham identified the significance of family response as a result of their learning genetic information. This stimulated four decades of scholarship and leadership which has included advocating for nursing education and core competencies in genetics and now genomics.
 
She led the American Academy of Nursing Genetic Healthcare Expert Panel in developing the visionary International Council of Nursing’s publication Nursing and Genetics – Leadership for Global Health. In 2006 she was a team recipient for the HHS Honor Award for the U.S. Surgeon General’s Family History Initiative Team, a landmark public health effort to encourage and provide mechanism for all Americans to collect and record family health information.
 
Her leadership and scholarship has affected sustained system change in health care. When at HRSA’s Center for Quality, Dr. Feetham co-lead a quality improvement activity across the agency to develop a standardized clinical measurement system for HRSA’s grantees. This system aligned with national measures from organizations such as the National Quality Forum (NQF).
 
Dr. Feetham’s interdisciplinary leadership is evident through her tenure as the first non-physician chair of professional and policy organizations including the Michigan Myelodysplasia Association, the Spina Bifida Association of America – Medical Advisory Group, and the Michigan Governor’s Commission on Crippled Children. Her leadership contributed to advancing policy to improve the care and outcomes of children with health problems and their families.
 
Her vision and mentorship contributed to the formation of the Eastern Nursing Research Society (ENRS), the ENRS Family Research Interest Group, and the American Academy of Nursing Genetic Healthcare Expert Panel. Her leadership has been recognized through the first ENRS Suzanne Feetham Nurse Scientist Family Research Award, Sigma Theta Tau International Nursing Honor Society Pinnacle Award for Mentorship and a Founders Award from the International Society of Nurses in Genetics.
 
Dr. Feetham’s leadership and scholarship demonstrates a sustained legacy in advancing the science of research of families, the integration of the genetic and genomics in the practice of all health professionals and informing policy to advance health equity for at risk populations. Her commitment to mentoring students and professionals assures a sustained impact of these important contributions.
