Your compassion, expertise, and dedication make an incredible impact on our patients, our medical center, and the future of healthcare. We’re so proud of each and every one of you.

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on two of our amazing SPAR Clinical Research RNs, Kelli Kilburg and Lauren Condon, who shared what nursing means to them:

🩺 "Healthcare is very difficult to navigate... we get to be the ones helping patients through that process. It's heartwarming and rewarding on so many levels." – Kelli

🛡️ "We are not only caring for patients and their loved ones—we are also standing up for them as their advocates and protectors." – Lauren

Thank you, Kelli and Lauren—and to all of our nurses—for being the heart of healthcare. 💙
