🌟 Staff Spotlight 🌟

Meet Logan, one of our Public Health Nurses!

“What I enjoy most about working in our clinic is getting to rotate through all of our different areas—maternal health, child health, family planning, and adult health. I love being able to help provide such a wide range of care to our patients.

I honestly never realized how much the health department offered until I started working here. I love that we focus on prevention and education, not just treating illnesses. Through education, outreach, and early interventions, we can help prevent so many different things.

And the teamwork in our clinic makes it even better. Everyone supports each other, communicates well, and works together to provide the best care for our community.”

Fun facts about Logan:
🌮 Could eat tacos every day and never get tired of them
✨ If she could choose a super power she would choose to heal others with just a touch

We’re grateful to have her caring for Franklin County!
