Under Dr. Beverly Malone’s leadership, the National League for Nursing (NLN) has advanced the science of nursing education by enhancing stakeholder collaboration, increasing diversity in nursing scholarships, and championing evidence-based practice. Dr. Malone’s distinguished career has blended policy, education, administration, and clinical practice, including as federal deputy assistant secretary for health under President Bill Clinton.

Dr. Malone has been awarded more than 20 honorary doctorates.

In a remarkable recognition of her contributions to global healthcare, in 2024 Dr. Malone was profiled by The Lancet, one of the most prestigious and influential medical journals in the world. This honor underscores the significance of her work and places her among an elite group of leaders shaping the future of healthcare.

The year prior, Modern Healthcare, a leading publication in the healthcare field, honored Dr. Malone as one of the nation’s leading healthcare executives by naming her to the 2023 list of the 50 Most Influential Clinical Executives in Healthcare. The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) presented Dr. Malone with the prestigious 2023 HRH Princess Muna Al Hussein Award for her commitment to advancing the nursing profession and excellence in nursing professional practice across international borders, and Dr. Malone was listed in Modern Healthcare’s 100 Most Influential People in Healthcare for the fourth consecutive year (2020, 2021, 2022, 2023). That same year, she was honored by the American Nurses Association with the prestigious President's Award and was selected for the M. Louise Fitzpatrick Award for Transformative Leadership by Villanova University. Dr. Malone was also featured as one of 25 Outstanding Women during Women’s History Month by Diverse: Issues in Higher Education.

Modern Healthcare also has honored her with a Top 25 Women Leaders' Luminary Award in 2021 and named her to the inaugural list of five Minority Healthcare Luminaries. She was previously honored on their list of Top 25 Women in Healthcare. The International Society of Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurses (ISPN) honored her with the Living Legend Award./p>
