Celebrating the ribbon-cutting for Safeguard Medical @med_safeguard at their new HQ in @HuntersvilleGOV. Through my lens, Safeguard is part of the critical infrastructure of caregiving. The @abstractdissent mural is✨powerful depiction of the mission. @lnedc @MeckCounty #EMSWeek

.@CMSboard & @CharMeckSchools are glad to hear @CTruittNCDPI tell the #ncga Education Committee she supports having certified school nurses with two-year degrees instead of the currently required four-year degree. Let's make sure we have a School Nurse in #EverySchoolEveryDay
