Thank You Letters

“Thank you to Elizabeth Blackwell and all the women before me who worked so hard to fight for their right to practice medicine. Women as health care providers are essential.” - Dr. Jennifer O’Shea, Pediatrician

“Thank you to the women that encouraged me that I could do it when I was a returning student and single parent.” - Jennifer Bender, Perinatal Nurse Navigator
