Celebrating National Nurse Practitioner Week (November 9-15th) is celebrated annually in recognition of nurse practitioners (NPs) nationwide, building awareness of their vital role in patient care.
Alan Eddison, DNP, APRN - Clinical Director at VIM Clinic shares with us:
"Being a Nurse Practitioner has allowed me to do the most satisfying work of my life. Caring for, and helping people has been my lifelong passion. The role of Nurse Practitioner gives me the opportunity to care for people at the highest level.
Volunteers in Medicine provide me with what I consider to be the perfect environment to care for some of the people who need help the most. I hope to continue my work in Primary Care for the rest of my life, much the same way that my mentor Dr. Howard Voss continued to care for people for as long as he lived."
Volunteers in Medicine Clinic is fortunate to have two incredible Doctors of Nurse Practitioners on staff. Our Clinical Directors - Vickie Dodds, DNP, APRN and Alan Eddison, DNP, APRN are dedicated to compassionately serving our patients with their exceptional healthcare!
