Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento welcomed the first Nursing Professional Development Practitioner for the Coordination of Care Department in the Northern California Region, Emily Melville, BSN RN ACM-RN.

This evidence-based project featured interactive learning activities that were well-received by staff, with participants expressing high engagement and enjoyment. Several staff members (Chet Nazareno, Mona Roque, & Sylvia Placencia), also stepped up to instruct in key areas, sharing their expertise and enhancing the learning experience. The initiative was designed to enhance skills and knowledge, focusing on improving confidence in their abilities and supporting ongoing professional growth.
