Marlene Hajjar Gharuzzedine
Mrs. Hajjar Gharuzzedine started off her career in AUBMC in 1981 as a
Registered Nurse. Through dedication and hard work she was continuously appreciated
and promoted. She now holds the title of Nurse Shift Administrator.
Described by her colleagues and supervisor as having exemplary leadership
qualities, commitment to meeting goals and dedication to AUBMC makes Marlene stand
out as an excellent mentor to many and a role model for service excellence.
Marlene’s favorite role is that of a Nurse. Although she is dedicated and values her
Nurse Shift Administration role, she is most satisfied when she is offering service to
patients. One of her fond memories which she places a great emphasis on is when in the
1980s she took on the responsibility of a mentor for nurses on an awareness campaign
about AIDS, a feared and mysterious virus that spread in the 1980s. Her role in that
campaign was an exceptional and very important one to help Nurses at AUMBC as well
as others throughout Lebanon to get familiar with dealing with this epidemic.
Her dedication to this project is among the examples of her exemplary dedication
to her profession and the institution she serves.
