Carla Fry will be the first to say that most of her success has come from her military training.
Fry is a former U.S. Army medic and sergeant and is the director of Nursing and Health Sciences programs at The College of the Florida Keys. The school organized more than 32 mass COVID-19 vaccination events and vaccinated 20,000 people since the vaccinations made their way to the Florida Keys, Fry said.
The college formed a partnership with the local offices of the Florida Department of Health in January, after Fry and the nursing students worked closely with Baptist Health South nurses and doctors at the health groupâs medical facility in Ocean Reef while the students were off for the winter break.
