Nurse Advocacy

 
 

Supporting our Health Care Heroes

Compassionate, committed, and caring, nurses form the backbone of the health care world. There are approximately 4 million registered nurses across the United States, each doing their part to heal, serve, and care for those who are in need.

 
 

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on our nurses. It is critical that we give back, supporting those who constantly give but seldom receive. Nurse Advocacy has become a big part of what I’m focused on, and it’s the honor of a lifetime to get the opportunity to pour into the lives of nurses.

 
 

How I’ve Been Helping

Providing CeraVe Gifts to Nurses

With constant hand washing and PPE taking a toll on the skin of nurses, it’s been a joy to love nurses “from the outside in” and provide free CeraVe gift bags to nurses all over the U.S. With over 10,000 bags delivered during the pandemic, we are just getting started. Are you a nurse who would like to request a free CeraVe gift? Click here.

Virtual Meetings

I normally give my presentations to audiences in person, but this year, as we all have, I’ve gone virtual. The focus of my virtual talks have been to encourage and support nursing state chapters and do whatever I can to meet their needs. If you’re interested in inviting me to speak virtually to your association, private practice, or state chapter, click here.
