Auburn University faculty member Morgan Yordy’s research interests have changed over the years, but one thing has stayed the same: her resolve to research ways to comfort people who are struggling with physical or mental health issues.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s kids or seniors, dogs or people, at home or in the community; there’s always a way nurses can help,” Yordy said. “I won’t stop seeking out ways to help others, to be a voice for others, and I am grateful for a university that supports faculty in this exploration.”
An associate professor in the College of Nursing, Yordy is driven to study a wide range of health-related topics that include animal-assisted therapy, emotional and sensory regulation and interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities for school nurses.
