Mission:Nutritious Diet + Daily Exercise + Adequate Rest=Good Health
My name is Dee Chavez and I have been a school nurse for ten years, and a nurse for a long time! I graduated from the nursing school at The University of Michigan. My husband retired from the Navy in 2003, so I have travelled to many parts of the world. I love children and caring for them in the school setting.
