Touch a Truck Back-to-School Event
June 14, 2023
“We are excited for Touch a Truck School Supply Drive to bring the community together to provide for local schools and students. We are so thankful for everyone who donates supplies,” said Emily Enstrom, RN, BSN, MS, TNS, nurse manager of pediatrics and PICU. “This fun event is also a great way to bring joy to our pediatric patients, as they will have their own time to see the emergency vehicles and be visited by local police and firemen.”
