Goldie Brangman, a trailblazer in her own right, served as an accomplished CRNA and an inspiring mentor to countless individuals within the nursing community. As the first and only African American President of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, she shattered barriers and paved the way for future generations of nurse anesthetists.
One of her notable accomplishments was founding and directing the Harlem Hospital School of Nurse Anesthesia. Here, she established an exceptional standard of care and treated esteemed figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. following a near-fatal assassination attempt in 1958. Through her visionary leadership and unwavering dedication, she inspired excellence in the field.
Throughout her career, Ms. Brangman earned numerous accolades and honors, embodying the spirit of excellence and innovation. Even in retirement, she continued her philanthropic endeavors, volunteering eight hours a day with the Red Cross while actively participating in AANA meetings.
The Goldie Brangman Excellence in Nursing Award honors students within the Nurse Anesthesia Program who exemplify the same exceptional qualities that Goldie Brangman personified—dedication, leadership and a commitment to excellence. This prestigious award recognizes their outstanding contributions to the field, both academically and clinically.
We celebrate the life and achievements of Goldie Brangman by acknowledging the extraordinary nurses in the Nurse Anesthesia Program who carry on her legacy. Through this award, we aim to inspire the next generation of nursing leaders who will continue to make a difference in the world of anesthesia and beyond.
