Member Spotlight

Meet Our May Member of the Month:  Lara Mefford!

Lara has been a registered nurse for 9 years. She began her nursing career at a LTAC in Tucson which helped spark her interest in wound and ostomy care.  She has  been at Tucson Medical Center for 5 years now and has been working with the amazing WOC team for almost 2 years.  She is happy to say she is almost finished with the Wound and Ostomy program at Emory University and will be ready to take the board exams very soon!  Congratulations!!!

She likes hanging out with her husband Michael and dog Woody in her spare time.  She enjoys reading, movies, and putting together 1,000-piece puzzles.
Welcome, Lara, to the WOCN community!
