St. Francis Nurses Support Lynwood Elementary Schools

Students at Lynwood elementary schools Mark Twain and Washington can count on two things with the arrival of fall every year—the beginning of a new school year and the support of St. Francis nurses.

This year, we gathered monetary donations from SFMC physicians, RNs, SEIU members, and the hospital itself. Then SFRNA matched the total of all other contributions.

SFRNA VP Edwin Guardado, RN, and Staff Rep and past President Sandi Marques, RN, both attended Washington Elementary.
