Humans of St. Charles - April R.

"There's three other colleagues of mine who I worked with for 14 years that are going and I haven't seen them since the fire. So I'm really excited to get to spend time with them. But ultimately, I’m excited to help people. Isn’t that why we went into nursing? To help people. And I think it’s going to be healing for us, as well."

- April, a registered nurse in Wound Ostomy, on what she’s hoping to get out of her upcoming trip to the Marshall Islands, where a team of caregivers who worked for Adventist Health Feather River in Paradise, Calif., before the 2018 Camp Fire will distribute medical supplies salvaged from the hospital, which was partially burned and has not reopened. April moved from the Paradise area to Central Oregon last July and she started working for St. Charles in September 2020.
