The value of knowing is priceless for first responders,” stated Dr. Shauna Gulley, Chief Clinical Officer for Centura Health. “Our partners on the front line are presented with unique challenges because of the nature of their work and we want to ensure that they have the support and information they need to protect themselves, their loved ones and the community.”
