Barb Warren-Bloms left from the MSP International Airport today as the first MNA RN to be formally deployed to Haiti. After interviews with local TV stations Barb gave heartfelt hugs to her family and jumped on a plane to Florida.

Thanks Barb for being the first of so many Minnesota RNs and MNA Members ready to go to Haiti!
