So PROUD to work with these fabulous nurses!
Best article I’ve every read about MSIC!
Me too, Cat. Kate – this article is fantastic; so thorough and well-researched! I’ve shared it widely.
Thank you to everyone at MSIC for saving my life and helping me when I couldn’t help myself. You always treated me like a human being.
Today I am over 8 years clean because of your help and I have a life I could never have imagined.
What a wonderful service and extraordinary staff.
