Our featured guests are from Pittsburgh Mercy, the extraordinary community health and wellness provider who has been literally saving lives and helping people heal

We couldn't fit all of Carolina's titles into the Episode name, so here they are in toto:

MSN, RN, Founding member & President of the Western PA Area Chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Duquesne University's School of Nursing BSN-AID program, community volunteer extraordinaire, and the Pittsburgh Steelers' nominee for the NFL's Changemakers Award

Tressa and Carolina sit down in Carolina's office at Duquesne to talk not only about the myriad ways she helps folks in our communities, but about how her personal journey led her to where she is today. It is one fabulous and inspiring chat.

And Don joins Tressa for a round of In Case Yinz Missed It.
