💙🎉 This Nurses Week, we're celebrating the heart behind our care!

At USM Health Services, nursing isn't just in our roots — it's in our everyday practice. Our Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) proudly began as nurses, with some of them earning their education right here through the USM and UMaine systems. Even our per diem providers are all FNPs and one DNP! Their journey from bedside nursing to advanced practice is a testament to what dedication and lifelong learning can achieve.

We're also honored to provide care to the students of USM's School of Nursing — we are more than happy to be supporting the very students who will carry nursing forward for generations to come. 🩺

TO EVERY NURSE OUT THERE: THANK YOU for your compassion, your grit, and your unwavering commitment to care. WE SEE YOU. WE CELEBRATE YOU! 💙🐾

🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day from USM Health Services! This Husky is Feeling Lucky — and we want you to feel lucky and safe this St. Paddy's Day! 🌟

Whether you're celebrating on or off campus, remember: real luck means getting home safe. Stay hydrated, stick with your crew, and always plan your ride ahead of time. 🚗💚

Your health and safety are always our priority — because the luckiest thing of all is waking up feeling great the next morning! ☘️✨

📍 USM Health Services Clinics is here for you
🔗 Visit us in Gorham today or either Gorham and Portland tomorrow!

Fun Fact: The original color associated with St. Patrick wasn't GREEN— it was BLUE! "St. Patrick's blue" appeared on ancient Irish flags and royal coats of arms. Green became the symbol only after it was tied to Irish nationalism in the 18th century. So technically, wearing blue- just like USM is the historically accurate choice!
