To the Editor:
During National Nurses Week and throughout the year, the Free Medical Clinic (FMC) is proud to celebrate the role nurses play in delivering the highest level of quality care to our patients.
The strong commitment, compassion, and care FMC nurses display in their practice and profession contribute significantly to the good health of the residents of Anderson, Morgan, and Roane counties who can’t afford to pay for health care and have no other access to the medical services they need.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of FMC. We would like to acknowledge the nurses who volunteer. They include Kari Bowling, Meghan Cadmus, Valerie Cheatham, Jay Cole, Dot Dare, Maury Dickson, Sara Gilmartin, Carole Holbrook, Ellen Kennel, Michelle Kirchenstiner, Karen Kirkland, Linda Quinley, Karen Reardon, Pat Redmon, Luther Rogers, Katie Salzano, Peggy Smith, Tracey Viau, and Karen Wilken.
More nurses are always needed as the request for services continues to increase. Nurses must have a current license, either active or volunteer. The Free Clinic can provide assistance for retired nurses to apply for the “Special Volunteer License,” which entitles the licensee to practice within a free health clinic. Any nurse who is interested in volunteering, please contact Monica Musrock at monmusrock@comcast.net or call the clinic at (865) 483-3904.
FMC Executive Director Teresa Brittain
