Celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth: this year's theme is #SalutingOurSisters. Let's mark the crucial role black women have played in being a key part of nursing in the #community and #primarycare.

When you listen to someone without interrupting what they have to say, they get to hear themselves too. It might only take a few minutes, and yet make all the difference. It might be the first time they've heard how they really feel, out loud. Listening like that matters.
