Dear carol,

We are still filled with inspiration and love from the recent Caritas Community Conference in beautiful Boulder, Colorado! This gathering of like-minded individuals, passionate about fostering positive change and strengthening our commitment to nurses, nursing and healthcare, was nothing short of extraordinary. The conference served as a platform for heartfelt discussions, innovative ideas, and collaboration with the collective goal of expanding the reach of Watson's Caring Science.
