“Frances Clark Rios loved nursing. After graduating from Tucson High School, she enrolled in the old St. Mary’s Hospital School of Nursing and eventually joined the faculty at the University of Arizona College of Nursing in the mid-’70s.

Rios knew she was a pioneer. She probably was one of the first Latinas on the nursing faculty, if not the first.”
