urrently pursuing his doctorate in nursing practice. Reyes plans to open a free clinic to bring quality health care to migrant farm-workers, minority groups, the elderly and Spanish-speaking populations. An avid volunteer, Reyes works for Proteus Migrant Health Clinic, where he treats mainly Spanish-speaking older adults.

Brenda Trogdon, MSN, ARNP, FNP

Trogdon has a broad range of nursing experience. From neonatal ICU to providing health care to the homeless to working with HIV/AIDS patients, her passion for her work shines through. Continually providing care to the underserved, Trogdon lives in a rural region of Florida and opened a free clinic out of her home to treat African-American, Hispanic and Native American populations with limited health literacy. At the same time, she runs a military base medical facility for teens at risk. In the future, Trogdon plans to open a free clinic in her hometown of Starke, Fla.
