Mini Nurse Academy | Week 5 Recap!
This week at Mini Nurse Academy, our future healthcare heroes learned all about the major organs and their amazing functions! 🧠💪🏾❤️
From the brain that helps us think, to the lungs that help us breathe, and the heart that keeps us alive.

We also had an important talk about how smoking affects the body, especially the lungs and heart. The kids were shocked to see how smoking can damage these vital organs, but they left empowered, ready to make healthy choices and spread awareness in their homes and schools! 💭🚭

Each week, these mini nurses continue to learn, grow, and inspire us with their curiosity and compassion. 🩺

Reflecting on a year of impact and planning for the future!

As we close out the year, we want to express our gratitude to all members of CFBNA! Together, we have made an impact on Orange and surrounding counties!

Our last general membership meeting was a success, with members donning pink and purple to raise awareness for breast cancer and domestic violence.

We still have several community engagement events for 2025.

📈 Stay tuned as we finalize our annual reports and lay the groundwork for an impactful 2026.
