We are proud to celebrate our nurses, and Michael Cunningham, shown here with our Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President for Patient Care Services Chris Kippley, is a phenomenal example of our extraordinary team members. When Michael pursued his nursing degree, he chose to attend a program with a holistic nursing certification. Michael has additional training in attending to every aspect of a patient's well-being: physical, emotional, and spiritual. As we continually strive for nursing excellence, nurses like Michael deliver the extraordinary care our extraordinary community deserves.
