CHNC Member Spotlight: Cheryl van Daalen-Smith dedicates her book to Canada's Public Health Nurses
Published on Thursday, 21 March, 2024

One of our very own CHNC members has launched a new website!

Congratulations to Cheryl van Daalen-Smith on the recent release of her new book and website. 

 "With experiences as a public health nurse, and nursing professor, Cheryl van Daalen-Smith’s deep love for her work and appreciation of the privileged lessons afforded to nurses who bear witness to the lives of diverse individuals and communities are what inspired her to write The Chronicles of Paisley • Corners. Prior to writing the novel, her writing has largely been academic, crafting articles on girls’ and women’s mental health and co-editing Canada’s leading public health nursing text. She dedicates The Chronicles of Paisley • Corners to Canada’s public health nurses who understand it well when she writes that ‘Health is a matter of who matters.’ "

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (www.cherylvandaalensmithauthor.com, 2024)

 

Cheryl will be providing a session and will be available to discuss her new book. If you are interested in booking a session for your team see her website for details.
