Today marks the start of National Nurses Week and we’re celebrating the first three nurses in FAN history — and the compassion, care, and connection they bring to our communities every single day. 💜
Meet the nurses helping expand what support can look like at Face Addiction Now:
🩺 Leslie M. — Nurse Practitioner for FAN’s Hepatitis C Testing Program
🩺 Lesley S. — Nurse Case Manager for FAN’s Hepatitis C Testing Program
🩺 Navneet S. — Nurse Practitioner for FAN’s HARM:LESS program
Whether they’re providing medical care, building trust during outreach, helping remove barriers to treatment, or simply showing up with compassion and dignity, these women are helping change lives every day.
FAN didn’t have nurses until these three joined our team. Today, they are an essential part of the work we do — helping make healthcare, harm reduction, and recovery support more accessible for the people who need it most.
Thank you, Leslie, Lesley, and Navneet, for the care you give so freely and the difference you make every day. Happy National Nurses Week! 💜
And thank you as well to the nurses at the hospitals and healthcare systems we partner with who help us support people impacted by substance use disorder every single day.
