In our latest podcast episode, we conclude our tour of amazing women on the 6th floor of the Berkeley Medical Center and meet Adriana Palmer, RN.
“I was born within the walls of this hospital in 1988 and graduated from Hedgesville High School in 2006. I've been here for 20 years and have worked in several different positions. I am currently the nurse manager on the sixth floor telemetry unit at Berkeley Medical Center,” Adriana tells Healthcare is Human.
This podcast also features Renée K. Nicholson reading her original poem, “Winter Solstice,” accompanied by Robert Sears and Jared Sims, performing an original composition.
Healthcare is Human was created by Ryan McCarthy and is a signature program of the Humanities Center at West Virginia University.
