For #FridayIntroductions and #NationalPublicHealthWeek, we would like you to meet 2011 SWU alumna Euphemia Binda! After graduating from SWU’s pre-medical biology program, Euphemia went on to complete a nursing degree, and now works at Memorial Health University Medicine Center in Savannah, Georgia. Euphemia is currently serving COVID-19 patients in critical care, so let’s join in thanking her and praying for her and those working the frontlines. 🙏
💙 What do you appreciate most from your experience at SWU?
The family spirit at SWU is the best; I felt at home during our welcome party! I remember having goosebumps when the University Singers sang at the reception. I felt comfortable participating in class with a small group of students  who enhanced my learning experience. Dr. Walt Sinnamon was not just a professor and a mentor, he cared like a dad. I felt comfortable at SWU because everyone treated us like family; you don't see that anywhere else. It felt like home away from home.
👩🏾‍⚕️ What do you enjoy the most about your current work?
I enjoy making a difference in my own small unique way. I love challenging myself, which is why I'm in the critical care division. My goal for every shift is just to keep them alive; I just want to keep them breathing.
✝️ How has your faith played a role in your life in this current crisis?
I believe God's will always prevails. Nothing happens without his approval, so I chose Faith over Fear. Someone has to do it; if I back out now, who do I expect to do it? I ask myself that if I contracted the virus do I expect to be cared for? The answer is yes. My late friend Dr. Susan Rouse once told me to not worry about the things I can't change because it will only add to my stress. Caring is my calling and God did not bring me this far to abandon me.
