Spring Break at Sam Houston State University offers a time for those around campus to relax and recharge. However, that did not stop the spirit of service for Student Health Center (SHC) nurses Deborah Wynne-Hester and Frieda Turner who decided to use their time off to help Walker County administer COVID-19 vaccinations.
Wynne-Hester and Turner administer care to students daily on campus as part of the SHCâs mission to provide preventative care services, a womenâs health clinic, laboratory testing, and pharmacy services that are all affordable and easily accessible. They also are part of the team who administers vaccinations on campus as well. Erica Bumpurs, director of the SHC, explained that when Walker County asked for help, there was no hesitation from her staff.
