News - Southwest, , ,

Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Johnston Memorial Hospital in Abingdon, members of the SW-VCNP and the Southwest Virginia Nurse Honor Guard gathered for a meaningful meeting.

We were honored to have Randi Earls, PharmD, join us to share insights on the 2025 Evidence-Based Practice ADA Guidelines—a valuable discussion for advancing care in our communities.

We are truly blessed to have such a dedicated network of nurses at all levels who continually strive to serve with excellence, compassion, and commitment. 💙👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Next Event: Relay for Life, September 6, 2025-6PM-10PM, we will be setting up our table with Ms. Jennifer Stafford and participating on her team for Ms. Alexia Stafford.
