She extended this work to focus groups which included dinner and conversation, as well as undergraduate nursing students from Villanova’s Fitzpatrick College of Nursing as focus group facilitators and note takers. Interviews were conducted in participants’ homes to meet the women “where they are.” As a Puerto Rican woman with family living in the same neighborhood as these women, she was able to identify with and co-create a substantial level of trust with the community. Maldonado began studying pregnant Puerto Rican women living in Philadelphia. The inspiration for all her scholarship rests in intersectional issues of race, class, gender, and historic rights to health and equitable healthcare. Her nursing science focuses on intergenerational caregiving and health equity within urban childbearing Puerto Rican women. Maldonado is a nurse, educator, researcher, community activist and volunteer, servant leader, and sculptor of the next generation of nurses.
