Who we are
Ian's Story
I served as a Medic in the Army for six years and, through that experience, realized I loved health care. During this time, I worked with all sorts of providers but noticed that the work nurses did really had an impact on the quality of the patient experience. After completing my pediatric rotation in nursing school, I knew this was the path I wanted to pursue. I love working as a nurse and being a voice for our patients and families. Additionally, as an Emergency Room nurse, there is no end to the variety of care we provide– and we receive the necessary training to help in any situation. In the ED, we are truly a team and I am proud to be a part of something so special.
—Ian Harrison, Critical Care Staff Nurse, Emergency Department
