A Red Cross of Alaska nurse is volunteering in Florida, providing critical care to residents displaced by Hurricane Helene.
Volunteers from the American Red Cross of Alaska area headed to areas ravaged by Hurricane Helene to help with relief efforts.Registered nurse Kimberly Gebert, who hails from Alaska, arrived in Tallahassee on Friday before moving south to the more severely impacted areas. She’s now stationed in Citrus Springs, Florida, where she’s one of only two nurses caring for about 90 displaced residents at a Florida shelter.
“We’re just trying to help keep their spirits up and, you know, provide just compassion and care — help them get their medications and dressing changes, blood sugar checks, blood pressure, anything we can do to help them maintain their health while they’re in here,” Gebert shared. Although initially committed to volunteering for two weeks, Gebert said she’s ready to extend her stay if needed, determined to continue offering care to those rebuilding their lives after the storm.
“Thanks to my family and my husband, they allow me the time to be able to come down here and this has been a dream of mine,” she said. “Nurses are usually energized by their patients and the people they work with, and that’s certainly the case here.”Officer who shot, killed Anchorage teen girl cleared in investigation
