NOVA Chapter 362: Columbia, SC VA Health Care System

NOVA Chapter 362 participated in the COVID-19 preparedness at the facility level. Many NOVA nurses helped with screening employees and Veterans. The nurses went the extra mile to ensure they were prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic for both the outpatient and inpatient settings. We were optimistic and thankful for our facility’s leadership and each other! 

The following photos captured the essence of NOVA nurses’ magnitude and strength:
