Suzanne Goodell joined AAUW Greensboro Branch in January 2020. Although she was a member for less than five years, her impact was significant. Suzanne’s community engagement was widespread, and she immediately joined the Diversity Equity Inclusion committee. Decades before Suzanne became a member of AAUW, she wrote on her LinkedIn page the following:

“When I was in college, I learned a profession that would go the way of pay phones and floppy discs: Medical Record Administration. I mastered a wide range of (now useless) techniques to manage tons of paper records in a variety of healthcare settings. But I also learned the core principles of today’s hottest topics in healthcare: health information management and Health IT. Through it all, the EHR was the Holy Grail.”

We will miss Suzanne’s energy, enthusiasm and passion.  Included in obituary provided by her family are the following:

Suzanne’s career was in Health Information Management and nonprofit administration in several locations, ending in Greensboro, NC, at Cone Health. She excelled in her field and in mentoring others. She was known for her smile, outgoing personality, positive approach and zest for life.
Suzanne’s passions were her children and grandchildren, social justice, giving women a better opportunity for success, and many creative endeavors.
Suzanne’s final wishes were to thank those who had been so kind to her and her family throughout her journey. She also wanted everyone to go out and do something kind for someone else.
