In Rememberance

INS is saddened to announce the death of Charles “Charlie” Boone who passed away Saturday, April 21, 2018, at the age of 90. Charlie was committed to both INS and INCC, as evidenced by being named an Honorary INS Member and serving on the INCC Board of Directors. He was a champion of the infusion nursing specialty and appreciated the direct impact it had on safe, quality patient care. While serving as President and CEO of Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, he supported the creation of their IV team, and in 1985 described it as “probably the premier IV team in the United States.” His astute business acumen, leadership qualities, and passion for the infusion specialty will be sorely missed.
