Sierra Donor Services Joins Empowered Health Academy for Inaugural Nursing Brunch
August 7, 2024
Sierra Donor Services was honored to join Empowered Health Academy for their inaugural “Back 2 School Brunch for Aspiring Nurses” on August 4, 2024!
Organized by Nurse Candy Pirtle-Smalls, Founder and CEO of Empowered Health Academy, this free brunch created a safe space for over two dozen aspiring nurses to interact with and learn from seasoned education and healthcare professionals.
The event’s featured individual speakers formed a powerful panel at the end of the day, during which they fielded questions from attendees.
“The opportunity to interact with potential nursing students and seasoned professionals in the field, and remind them of the critical need for organ donors, especially in communities of color, was as much a gift to us as lifesaving organs are to those awaiting a transplant.” ~Michael Coleman, Sierra Donor Services External Affairs Director
