Congratulations to Kim Baron, Director of Health Services for Grand Rapids Public Schools, and her team for curating an exhibit to promote school nursing. This inspired idea will now become an exhibit at the Grand Rapids Public Museum! The impetus for the exhibit was to inform the public about the scope of school nursing practice and to highlight the contribution of Grand Rapids school nurses over the past thirty years.
This exhibit shows how healthcare has changed to meet the needs of our community. It shows all the different roles that healthcare professionals have, how they impact the community, how their roles change over time,and the advancements that have been made in the fields of medicine and nursing because of research and scientific study. – Kim Baron
