Healthcare education has truly become my passion as I have developed my nursing career. I enjoy educating myself and others about both common and uncommon contagious diseases and illnesses. I have a great deal of knowledge about the common cold and flu because I have cared for so many patients and spent years educating individuals and the general public about these issues. I want to make you feel confident that you are making the best decisions about your own health and the health of your family.
