Suzanne Bucci, a volunteer nurse with the Red Cross for 34 years, has accumulated over 40,000 hours with the 779th Medical Group on Joint Base Andrews. Since she separated from the Army, Bucci has volunteered at every location her husband was assigned during and after his Army career.
"Suzanne Bucci has shared her nursing expertise with a compassionate heart," said Dr. John Baxter, Director, Pentagon Flight Medicine Clinic. "Bucci provided healthcare as an OB/Gyn nurse practitioner with limited resources to women and children in Albania during a critical time in that nation's history. With the heart of a teacher, she taught Albanian nurses how to care for pregnant women and the children. While in Bosnia during the post war time, her heart was broken for lack of optimal care for rape victims in the community. After identifying this incredible need, she developed and implemented a gynecological project to provide care for rape victims."
