Join us in welcoming the newest member of the Clinic for Special Children team, Jessica Townsend, LPN! ๐Ÿฉบโœจ

Jessica joins us as a Licensed Practical Nurse, bringing experience in pediatrics, behavioral health, and nursing care.

When asked why sheโ€™s passionate about joining the Clinic, Jessica said: "Pediatrics has always been where my heart is. Helping communities that are unable to access typical care is rewarding."
