Oxford Nurse Practitioner to present on Mission Work in Honduras

Join us for a special Women's Health Series presentation on Thursday, July 30 at 12:30 p.m

Knowing that many people have canceled or changed their summer travel plans, we are doing something a little different this month for our Women's Health Series. Rather than our usual ladies night to discuss a women's health topic, Nurse Practitioner Kathy Anderson from UHS Primary Care Oxford will present on a medical mission trip she took to Honduras in 2018.

We'll host this special 40 minute 'lunch & learn' presentation via Zoom.

If you haven't yet had a chance to meet Kathy, this will be your opportunity to get to know one of the newest members of our Primary Care provider team - and 'visit' Honduras in the process. All are welcome to join us for this special presentation. (Don't forget: CMH & UHS employees receive HealthierU credit!)
