At St. Joseph’s Health, some callings are passed down through generations. For sisters Kerrigan, RN (St. Joseph's College of Nursing - Syracuse, NY) and Heather, RN (Patient Care Unit 2–5), nursing is more than a profession, it’s a legacy rooted in family, faith and service. Their inspiration began with their grandmother, a nurse leader in Syracuse whose strength left a lasting imprint.

Their story reminds us that when care is rooted in love, guided by values and nurtured together, it does not merely endure. It flourishes. 🌻🔗 Read more about their incredible impact: https://bit.ly/4dwtcLq
