ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The National Home Infusion Foundation has named Melissa Leone, RN, BSN, as the recipient of the 2022 Lynn Giglione Women in Leadership Award. Leone currently serves as the executive director of nursing operations at Coram CVS Specialty Infusion Services. She started working in home infusion in 1990 and, through various acquisitions and changes, has been in the business for more than three decades. “I am honored to have been selected for this recognition,” said Leone. “I admired Lynn for many years as she expanded her contributions and leadership within NHIF, and it is an incredible feeling to be recognized in her memory. I have enjoyed the opportunity I have had to bring greater attention to the benefits home infusion offers to people seeking alternative care settings and influence change in the health care arena.” The Lynn Giglione Women in Leadership Award, established in 2015, recognizes and honors trail-blazing and emerging women leaders who have demonstrated exemplary service to patients and their peers while promoting the mission of NHIF. Leone has been an integral member of NHIA’s Education Committee for more than 20 years helping to generate highly specialized home infusion clinical and nursing content and building out the RN Essentials programming. Leone is also a regular contributor to INFUSION magazine sharing practice-related data and clinical practice guidelines. Last year, she was recognized as an NHIA Fellow.
