Health & Medicine is saddened to share the passing of Leslie Nickels, MEd, PhD. Leslie recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Health & Medicine in honor of her many contributions to worker health, safety, and justice. She is also a former board member and made enormous contributions to many Health & Medicine initiatives, most recently our Quentin D. Young Equity Project. Our thoughts are with Leslie’s family, many friends, and colleagues. We are deeply grateful to have Leslie’s values, partnership, and work woven into the fabric of Health & Medicine.

Leslie’s family has requested that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Leslie’s memory to the causes important to her, including Health & Medicine. To make a donation in her memory, please use this link.
