FROM OUR DOUGLAS COLLEGE NURSING STUDENTS
Resource Book & Farewell December 3rd
Dia and I have enjoyed our time at SFP, but unfortunately our time here has come to an end as our semester in Nursing School is winding down. We have met wonderful families and formed valuable connections and relationships that will be forever remembered. In order to show our appreciation and thanks to SFP, we have made a resource book that is full of free pamphlets and information from the Public Health Agency. So come join us one last time on Thursday, Dec 3 to get lots of free information and to check out all the free resources one can enjoy at SFP.
