School Nurses


We are happy to report that another successful school nurse educational event was held at our SHC-NC yesterday in Sacramento. About 40 nurses were in attendance and our Hospital presenters and staff were very happy and enthusiastic with how it went off.

The event began in the morning with a Tribute to our late Lady Cathy Rizo, and a presentation by BJ Bartleson from the Hospital. It was very touching, with Mike Rizo, daughter and grand daughter in attendance along with the McQuistons, other family members and friends. Also in attendance as friends and members of your Divan were the Darrows, Gary Kiddie (in face) and Jeff Davidson. David Barnekoff and I represented the Screening Clinics Committee, with David and  Vic Merolla conducting Tours.

As always it was a fast-paced day, as it always is. But there were still plenty of occasionsduring the day to stop and think about Cathy, her leadership, contributions and her endearing ways. Quite a few of the nurses came up during the day to express appreciation for Cathy's work as they had been told about earlier, and to ask questions about her. That was a pleasure to do.
