We're thrilled to share some fantastic news from Salem High School's Teen Health Clinic! On May 2nd, 2025, the Massachusetts School Nurse Organization presented its prestigious "Friends of School Nursing" award to two exceptional nurse practitioners: Katie Attia, MSN, CPNP, and Laura Kelliher, MSN, CPNP.

The Salem Public Schools nursing team nominated Katie and Laura for their extraordinary commitment to the well-being of their students. They've truly gone the extra mile to ensure all new students receive the necessary medical care for school entry and have access to vital healthcare services. Their dedication to the health and well-being of Salem's students and families is truly something to celebrate!
