Registered Nurse
Registered Nurses have a wide scope of practice and lead many of our health initiatives. They work with the Family Physician and other healthcare professionals to plan and implement healthcare strategies and prevention plans that advance the personal health goals of patients. Registered Nurses provide both direct clinical care and education for individuals and their families.
