How did you get into your field? I actually started out in public health in York. I went to York College and started out working in York City Health Bureau. We did HIV testing, tuberculosis treatment, immunizations . . . it was public health so you pretty much do the gamut. We treated homeless patients and worked with young moms and pregnant moms. Then I went to the Visiting Nurses of York (now part of WellSpan) and started working there, and got interested in doing wound care. I think it started out when I was working with the homeless because a lot of those patients didn’t have the money or resources to get the care that they needed. I found in VNA I wanted to . . . teach people to care for the wounds they were left with.
