A huge congratulations to our one of our Nurse Practitioners, Krystie, on earning her 15-Year Longevity Certificate! 🎉

While this recognition was presented back in December, now that things have slowed down a bit, we want to take the time to properly celebrate the incredible people who make our work possible, because dedication like this deserves its moment.

This milestone reflects Krystie's years of hard work and the invaluable contributions she has made to our community and team.

When asked if she could give a piece of advice to someone considering a career in public health, Krystie shared:

“This career can be challenging, but it has the potential to make a difference on a large scale and is instrumental in preventing disease and promoting health. A change in one person can affect the family, and in turn, can affect the community. No matter what role they play, this job is incredibly important."

We deeply appreciate her commitment and the positive difference she continues to make in the lives of our clients. Here’s to many more years of success ahead!

A huge congratulations to one of our Registered Nurses, Debbie, on earning her 5-Year Longevity Certificate! 🎉
