In a crisis, this new American stepped up

November 30, 2020

When new Americans become citizens, they are asked if they will perform work of “national importance.” For Luz this was more than a theoretical promise.

It takes a special kind of courage to sign up to work in health care during a pandemic.

Your support helped Daphne “very, very, very much”

January 19, 2020

Did you know the World Health Organization (WHO) has designated 2020 as the "Year of the Nurse and Midwife," in honor of Florence Nightingale's 200th birthday? Maybe I'm biased, but when I think of nursing, I think of immigrants and The ILC students. In fact, without immigrants, our nursing shortage would be a full-blown nursing crisis. In particular, Daphne comes to …
