Episode Synopsis

Happy end of National Nurses Week with this year's theme of "The Power of Nurses." Last year, I highlighted some of the nurses I have interviewed for my Skid Road project. Today, I highlight an interview with a stalwart nurse, Mary Pilgrim, who ran Harborview Medical Center's nurse clinic at the main homeless shelter at the Downtown Emergency Service Center in Pioneer Square, Seattle. When I interviewed her a the Jack Straw Cultural Center on July 22, 2015, Mary had been a nurse for 42 years and was nearing retirement. Listen to what she had to say about her work and perspective on homelessness in our city and country.
