Happy Nurses Week to the incredible nurses and advanced practice providers who show up every day with compassion, skill, and steady care for our community.

At Connections Clinic, we are especially grateful for an amazing team who continues to make access to care possible for the families we serve:

* Robin S. ARNP
* Ernesto Nunez ARNP
* Anna Cruz ARNP
* Melanie Dryden ARNP
* Bev Lind RN

Your dedication makes a real difference often in moments when people need it most.

We are also actively growing and looking to expand our nursing team. If you are a nurse interested in meaningful community work, we are currently seeking support for:

* Thursday evening clinic hours 4PM-7PM
* Wednesday mornings 9AM-12PM

And if you are a provider considering a place to serve, we would love to grow even more. Our goal is simple: to have Connections Clinic open every day so families can get the care they need when they need it.

Thank you to all nurses today and every day for the work you do that holds so much of our healthcare system together.
