The West Side Neighborhood Health Center welcomes a new Nurse Practitioner who has a unique connection to MCHC.
Sunami Gurung always knew she wanted to work at a health center serving a diverse population. After immigrating to New Hampshire from Nepal, in 2008, Sunami was a patient at Child Health Services for three years.
Not long after graduating with her Nurse Practitioner M.S. degree from UNH, she learned about the Nurse Practitioner job opening while accompanying her grandmother to an appointment at the West Side Neighborhood Health Center. "I am excited to work at MCHC. I want to give back and help people from all different walks of life," said Gurung.
Sunami is now accepting patients at West Side Neighborhood Health Center. Welcome Sunami!
