“They're our mentors, they're our friends, they're our colleagues, they're our peers. They recognize, 'Hey, we have this need ... you have these skills. How do we leverage this and really serve our patients to the best of our ability?'" —Carrie Hayes, PA, Chair of the SIR Nurse Practitioner & Physician Assistant Section
