This special episode of the "Here's to Your Health" podcast celebrates Nurse Practitioner Week.

Join host Jill Melby as she highlights that nursing is more than a profession—it's "a calling to care, to comfort, and to lift others up on hard days."

The episode features interviews with several Nurse Practitioners, including:

• Julie Graeve: Shares her experience, including being inspired by her mother, who went to nursing school while Julie was a toddler. She also had early exposure to healthcare as a test patient with her parents' involvement on the Dunlap Fire and Rescue team.
• Cyilee Martin: Discusses her initial interest in anatomy and physiology. She was drawn to the caring aspect through her experience as a lifeguard and her desire to take care of people, including her family members.
• Samantha Pauley: Was inspired by her grandmother, who was a surgery nurse here at CCMH.

We thank all the Nurse Practitioners at Crawford County Memorial Hospital for bringing advanced expertise, compassionate care, and a deep commitment to their patients every single day."
