To Gwen Monahan, Scottish Rite for Children represents an opportunity to give back to patients and their families. She began her journey at Scottish Rite in 1972 as a staff nurse. Over the next 39 years, she served as a head nurse, assistant director and director of the nursing unit. She then transitioned to working closely with Chief of Staff Emeritus J.A. “Tony” Herring, M.D.
Gwen retired in 2011, but her dedication did not end there. With the desire to stay connected to Scottish Rite’s mission, she began volunteering at the Frisco campus in 2018 upon its opening. Today, she helps the Radiology team by guiding patients to the X-ray area for imaging — still making a difference, one family at a time.
