JACKSONVILLE, FL – Memorial Hospital of Jacksonville’s Chief Nursing Officer (CNO), Mary Reval, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, will be retiring on August 31st, 2021, after 37 years in nursing.

“We are thankful for all of her contributions as a seasoned nurse leader who has brought a wealth of experience and talent to benefit our staff, patients and families,” said Memorial Hospital CEO, Bradley S. Talbert, FACHE. “Mary’s philosophy of being inspired daily to wake up each morning to make a difference and appreciate life has touched us all.”

Reval started as a Medical/Surgical Cardiac nurse then moved into Critical Care nursing before advancing into leadership roles. Reval has served as Memorial Hospital’s CNO since September 2017 and actually started her career with HCA Healthcare at Memorial Hospital back in 2004, before serving as the CNO at Specialty Hospital Jacksonville from 2008-2011.
