Grace Tazelaar started out teaching nursing education at a diploma school and was involved in its transition to a baccalaureate program. She left nursing education to do community health development in Uganda from 1985 to 1991. It was at the end of the civil war and the beginning of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Her career focus changed from women’s health to public health during that time. After the war, she worked with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education as they developed the first baccalaureate nursing program in the area. Grace now serves as the NCF Missions Director in a volunteer role.
