On Saturday, March 28, New York State Nursing (NYSNA) lost Freda Ocran, RN, a psychiatric nurse at Jacobi Medical Center. Freda had previously worked at several other Bronx hospitals, including North Central Bronx and Bronx Lebanon Hospital.

NYSNA wrote on their website: “Freda’s friend Dinah Bampoe shared photos with us, along with this remembrance: “Freda Ocran, RN, a 51 year old nurse, was a wife, a mother, a sister and a friend. Albert Einstein said, ‘The value of a man should be seen in what he gives, and not in what he is able to receive.’ That is Freda, a selfless individual who gave her all, and died doing what she loved. Missing you already. Rest in perfect peace.”
