Individual Biographies

Barbara Aranda-Naranjo, PhD, RN, FAAN
Dr. Aranda-Naranjo has been a community health researcher and public health nurse with more than 25 years of experience in the promotion of health and the prevention of disease in underserved, resilient communities at both the local, state and national level.  She has extensive “front-line” experience in planning, developing, and coordinating research investigation and program evaluation related to health care delivery with African American and Hispanic American populations especially women and children living with HIV disease.  She has an effective record establishing collaboration among federal, state, and local stakeholders related to people living with co-morbidities such as substance abuse, mental illness and STDs, primarily HIV/AIDS.

Currently, Dr. Aranda-Naranjo is the first Robert and Kathleen Scanlon Endowed Chair in Values Based Health Care at the School of Nursing & Health Studies (NHS) at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.  In this role she provides leadership in integrating the core values of excellence and social justice in the research, teaching, and service activities for faculty at NHS.  She is also the Program Director for a new project she co-founded with her nursing students entitled, Nurses for America.  This innovative program was funded in August 2005 by AmeriCorp and is focused on placing professional nurses for a two year commitment to serve in community health clinics and public health departments that serve vulnerable, resilient populations.  The nurses receive mentoring from Georgetown Nursing faculty and an educational stipend of more than $9000 to pay off their student loans or start graduate school.

Prior to coming to Georgetown, Dr. Aranda-Naranjo spent five years working at HRSA in the HIV/AIDS bureau and served in the following positions: the Branch Chief for Special Projects of National Significance, the Deputy Director for the Division of Community Based programs, and the Acting Director of the Division of Science and Policy.  In these roles she was both innovative and tenacious in ensuring that the funding of new projects was sensitized by not only the voices of the health care providers but the people living with HIV/AIDS.

Dr. Aranda-Naranjo is best known for her leadership in developing the South Texas AIDS Center for children and families with her colleagues at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 1988, funded by HRSA.  This Center, after 18 years, continues to exist today as the South Texas Family AIDS Network (STFAN) housed at the University Health System. The goal of STFAN has remained the same: to provide culturally competent quality care and coordinate support services to individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS to improve physical, spiritual and emotional well-being.
