Upon graduation from Everett High School, Ms. Ragucci completed her training at Waltham Hospital & became a cadet nurse filling in for nurses who joined the Army or Navy. She went onto earn her BS in Nursing at Boston College & her MS in Rehabilitation Nursing at Boston University. Ms. Ragucci found nursing as a way to help her country during WW II. One of her passions was the application of nursing & medical practices in different cultures, so she followed up with a PhD in Cultural Anthropology. While studying for her Doctorate she traveled to Peru to help establish a clinic in Arequipa, her dissertation explored health practices amoung Italian women in Boston's North End.
