Congratulations to Brooke Greenwood on your new addition

Baby season is upon us in nursing! The ADN family has just grown again with the addition of little baby Bennett Alan Greenwood. Born to Brooke Greenwood, nursing skills lab professional and adjunct clinical instructor, on Feb. 22, 2024. Weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds, 14 ounces and 22 inches long, mom is feeling much relief to have baby in her arms at last! Brooke and baby Bennett are home with dad and big sisters, and all are blissfully relishing in this family time.
