Biography
Geraldine Gleason Price (1920-2011) began the Fairview Hospitals Nursing Program in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1939, and graduated in 1942. In 1943, while her husband was serving in World War II, Price worked in the emergency in Shreveport, Louisiana. After her husband was killed in action, Price went to Columbia University’s Teachers College and earned a Bachelor's of Science degree in teaching. She taught in Cincinnati,Ohio, for several years, then obtained her master’s degree in nursing from Case Western Reserve University. Price joined The Ohio State University School of Nursing in 1952. During her nineteen years at Ohio State Price was a teacher, adviser and involved in preparations for the new school of nursing. In 1971 she became the Assistant Chief, and soon the chief, of the Division of Nursing at the Ohio Department of Health. She was interested in the care of older people and in this position developed continuing education programs for nurses and administrators in nursing homes.
