I hope all of you are safe after the recent weather events.

Most importantly I want to thank you for all the work you do for your patients and their families; be it through direct patient care, educating the next generation of nurses, research, advocacy, or leadership. Our patients truly need you and your dedication shows!

Wishing you all a colorful fall!

Michele
