Health Spotlight: Nurse Bethany

Welcome to STrEaM Nurse Bethany! Nurse Bethany is based at Muldoon Elementary, and will be providing nursing support to STrEaM for the remainder of this school year.  

Here is a message from Nurse Bethany:


Greetings!

My name is Bethany Zimpelman and I have been a pediatric nurse for 20 years. This is my fourth year working with the Anchorage School District and I am looking forward to getting to know all of you more. I am passionate about connecting people and resources to help them become their healthiest selves and strongly believe students must healthy to be educated and educated to be healthy. I especially enjoy discussing and learning about allergies, ADHD, neurodiversity, culturally responsive care, vision/hearing needs, eating disorders, and mental healthcare. If I can help you or your students find local referrals or information, please let me know.

 

There is still an enormous amount of viral illness (Influenza A, RSV, COVID-19) in our community, consider testing before holiday gatherings. You can order free COVID tests from https://www.covid.gov/tests. Wishing you well! Nurse Bethany
