Board Member Feature: Yessenia Garcia-Sanchez
Yessenia Garcia-Sanchez’s journey with NEOAHEC began as a two-time MedQuest camper, where she discovered her passion for nursing. "We got to talk to the nursing students and a few alumni of the program while in the simulation lab. There was this one girl who had pink scrubs and was saying that she was possibly thinking about labor and delivery, too. That was kind of cool to see."
She is now a labor and delivery nurse in Hermiston and serves as a Member-at-Large on the Board of Directors. Yessenia has returned every year as a camp counselor, dedicated to giving back to the program that helped shape her career.
