SOME WORDS FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Hello, Hola, السلام عليكم

2020-the international year of the nurse and the midwife. The year we shall all remember for turning our lives upside down. As nurses we have been called to be on the frontlines of this pandemic. Some of us have been pulled back to our ICU or ER roots. Some of us have unfortunately been personally impacted by this horrible virus. Yet still we have been creative figuring out how to safely get our MS patients their care. They still needs labs. They still need PT. They still lean on us for emotional support.
