Brenda Joyce Robinson worked hard her entire life toward success. But rather than rest on her laurels, Robinson became a mentor to other nurses and advocated for a more just health care system. She founded the Black Nurses Coalition, an organization that not only supports nurses but fights health care disparities.

Robinson is being recognized by the Women’s Business Council of the Capital Region Chamber for her distinguished career.

The nomination for the award said Robinson “has been willing to put action to her words and beliefs.” That was evident most recently as Robinson led community pop-ups that provided COVID-19 vaccines and boosters to underserved neighborhoods and to refugees. Her BNC Vax Team has been responsible for thousands of vaccinations.
