Anne Cooney is the ‘healthy campus’ co-ordinator at Athlone Institute of Technology.
I bring more than 30 years of experience in healthcare to my position as healthy campus coordinator in Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT).
With 30 years of working knowledge, and qualifications in many areas including general nursing, midwifery, sexual health, primary care, health promotion and social health, I can safely say that I bring a bit of everything to the job. I’m also currently undertaking an MSc in research, investigating social capital and older people in the Irish midlands.
Healthy campus initiative
Since 2001, when Prof Ciarán Ó Catháin forged a partnership with the HSE, the Healthy Campus initiative has gone from strength to strength and is now a major part of the campus community here in Athlone IT.
