By Nikki Lee I cannot believe how quickly January flew by. While we’re not out of the woods yet, I’m hopeful for what February will bring. Healthcare professionals and volunteers are working hard to vaccinate thousands of people each week here in Tucson. I’m so grateful for these heroes in our community and I look forward to receiving my vaccine...
