MedStar Georgetown’s School Health Center at Anacostia High
Michelle Francis walked past a student one morning at Anacostia High School where she works at a clinic run by MedStar Georgetown University Medical Center then looked back to see him stuff a sleeping bag and duffel into the bushes. Suspecting that the student was homeless, she worked with clinic and school staff to connect him and his family to housing.
“As a nurse, we are trained to be observant,” says Francis, 55, who has been an LPN for 11 years. “I might take a blood pressure and notice cutting on the arm. We had another student, her clothes were dirty. She said her parents didn’t have money for detergent.”
Ethics in nursing event scheduled for April 22 in La Crosse
