Prior to that, she served in various positions at Emory including: director of nursing for Emory Healthcare's Emergency Services, director of nursing for neurosciences at Emory University Hospital and director of nursing operations at Emory University Hospital. Margolis began her career at Emory in 1982, and has spent more than 30 years caring for patients, teaching students and developing innovative patient safety models and nurse retention models.
