Announcements

With May being Nurse’s Month, time got away from me, but the Chapter Annual Meeting and Global Health conference was enlightening and fun.  On April 29, our chapter met for morning presentations at  University of Washington Tacoma.  On one of our rare warm spring days, Dr. Carrie Ann Matyac, with Daneille de la Pena MN, RN, and Jess Herklotz, a  BSN student,  presented Social Disparities of Health in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Dr. Christine Stevens presented study findings on Creating a Sense of Belonging through Food Justice- a study of university students and food insecurity. 

Student presentations were St. Martin’s University Students Erica Moddy, Kristal Lim, Taylor Lee, and Grace Tabil who presented their fieldwork experience with the Olympic Free Clinic and Homeless Camps in Olympia.  Jocelyn Baergen, a Northwest University student, presented her fieldwork experience in Greece.  The event covered many aspects of what is meant by global health.

Andrea Joy-Morris MN, RN , and Carrie Ann Matyac DNP, ARNP, FNP were the winners of the drawing for participating in the annual membership survey.  Both members received $50.00 gift cards.

Happy Nurses Month!  Anne
