Today UAW Local 2213 honored one of our retired nurses who passed away. Patricia Arvay graduated from St Vincent’s School of Nursing in 1953.

In 1971, Pat returned to St V’s and started on 2nd shift in the float pool. While in the float pool she realized that she wanted to work in post partum where she specialized.

In 1993 Pat retired and continued to serve as a parish nurse for her church and community.
