This Week's Featured Bloggers: Valley Medical Center Health Care Professionals

You don't need to be a brain surgeon to blog on Patch. Everyone has an expertise or a passion to share. What's yours?

From time to time we like to feature some of our most dedicated bloggers on Patch.

For nearly a year, Valley Medical Center Public Information Officer Kim Blakeley has coordinated Valley's health care professionals to blog on Patch.

The result is an engaging blog that touches on timely issues. For example, ER Nurse Celeste Etherington contributed  last November and Valley Fitness Instructor Katie Shimer shared Easy Tips to Stay Fit on Your Summer Vacation last May.
