Nurses in the Community

Many of the nursing staff are familiar faces throughout our community. Our sense of volunteerism and community spirit is evidenced by nurses who volunteer on their hometown’s ambulance service, nurses who volunteer to staff the Oasis Health Clinic, nurses who teach nutrition in schools and nurses who teach lifesaving CPR skills to schools, youth groups, new parents and coaches.
