Nurse practitioner Shirley Campbell Nunez describes county clinic care, emphasizes patient education

Shirley Campbell Nunez, a nurse practitioner who said she has worked "with the county" for about three years, told attendees she cares for patients ranging from newborns through adults and focuses on education and nutrition to improve health outcomes. "I love being able to make a difference in our patients' lives," she said, describing care for pregnant women as well as male and female patients.

Nunez said she sees a wide age range at the clinic and stressed that small education efforts can have meaningful impacts: "If I can come in and just help somebody, teach them something, education, on nutrition, anything that can make a difference in their life is what you see," she said. She also said, "But what's AMP in the morning and keeps me coming," a phrase that was not explained in the transcript.

The remarks were a personal description of clinical duties and motivation; the record does not include a policy proposal, motion, vote, or formal request for county action.
