Contacts Needed In The Caribbean
The Nurses Christian Fellowship International regional committee for the Caribbean and North America (CANA) has members from the United States and Canada. We are rebuilding our regional work and want to make contact with English-speaking Christian nurses in the Caribbean who could represent their countries. We are eager to hear about ways we could collaborate with and support each others' efforts. Contact Leslie Van Dover at [email protected]
