Yesterday, the Chapel at Duquesne University held a Mass for the Healing Professionals.

This Mass was held to bless all of those who dedicate their lives to caring for the sick, comforting the suffering, and being there for people in moments of uncertainty.

We give thanks for the compassion and dedication of our students, alumni, faculty, and staff who are called to be healers. ❤️

As the need for nurses continues to rise across the United States, limiting access to nursing education can risk deepening the national nursing shortage.
