Huge congratulations to Aaquila Buffington-Sheppard on the successful defense of her DNP project! 🎓

Her work, "Implementing a Comprehensive STI Program among Homeless Young Adults Ages 18-24," is a powerful example of how Quality Improvement projects can change lives. It was wonderful to see so much love and support from her family, friends, and the EMU committee during this milestone.

Aaquila, we know you’re going to do amazing things in the world of healthcare! 🦅✨
