As a former Army nurse, her mom encouraged her to think about nursing as a second career. \u201cNursing wasn\u2019t something I immediately wanted to do, but my mother always told me I had the character for it, that it was about pouring into people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Keesha had her children, she realized she was ready for a profession that was about that kind of service, both to her family and her community. \u201cHaving children changed my view of the world. It became about nurturing and service. I wanted to meet people where they are at in their health journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The military paid for Keesha to go back to nursing school, and she worked in different areas of healthcare before joining RHHD in 2018. \u201cI fell in love with public health,\u201d she says. \u201cHelping underserved populations is humbling. I get to start by asking patients, \u2018what does health look like to you?\u2019 and then we go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Keesha\u2019s supervisor, Ashley Lancaster, says Keesha exemplifies some of the most important public health values: \u201cKeesha lives and breathes commitment to our immunization program success and our VDH mission as a whole. Keesha was one of the first of our nurses to, not only give, but also to receive a COVID vaccination in December 2020. She regularly comes in early and stays past her scheduled work time without hesitation, to ensure we are well positioned to respond to community needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to immunization work, Keesha has a special place in her heart for our newcomer clinic. \u201cIt has been huge to see clients come from countries where healthcare might not be the priority. I watch them come through the door and work hard to navigate new healthcare habits. And I love watching populations of women come in and see that we\u2019re a clinic run mostly by women. I see a light bulb go off in their head, like \u2018I could do that.\u2019 Some of them ask me how I got to where I am. And I always say, \u2018here in this country, this is in reach for you.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha-2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha-2.png\" alt=\"decorative\" width=\"321\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha-2.png 321w, https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha-2-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 321px) 100vw, 321px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On tough days, Keesha thinks about a mom she met at the clinic. The woman had lost her husband and two children in Afghanistan and was bringing her remaining family in for newcomer appointments. Keesha sat with her and listened while the children had their check-ups. At the end of the visit, she shared some mental health resources and connected the family with a Community Health Worker. \u201cI just tried to say, \u201clean on your children. They\u2019re a part of you and your husband, and we\u2019ll help you get through this, too.\u201d A few months later, when Keesha ran into the family at a local Wal-Mart, the mom repeated some of the guidance and resources Keesha had shared, reminding her that these short conversations can have long-term impact.<\/p>\n<p>Keesha says she\u2019s able to focus on clients because she knows she has an extraordinary team of public health workers working alongside her. \u201cThese people are my rock,\u201d she says. \u201cFrom getting our records together to communicating with clients over the phone, to sharing information about environmental health, everyone here has the biggest heart. When we lift each other up, we&#8217;re also lifting clients up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The sons that started Keesha\u2019s journey into nursing are now embarking on their own careers. Both have graduated from Virginia State University and are following their mom\u2019s and grandparents\u2019 footsteps into the military. Keesha hopes her youngest will find his way to the medical field, and she encourages other recent graduates to consider healthcare, too: \u201cIf you\u2019re someone invested in service and meeting people where they\u2019re at in their health journey, this is where you\u2019ll thrive!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22368 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha1.png\" alt=\"decorative\" width=\"241\" height=\"321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha1.png 241w, https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/content\/uploads\/sites\/119\/2025\/05\/keesha1-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 241px) 100vw, 241px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To learn more about RHHD\u2019s clinic offerings, visit our clinic webpages for\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/richmond-city\/clinical-services\/\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vdh.virginia.gov\/richmond-city\/clinical-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"3\">Richmond<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/henrico.gov\/health\/\" href=\"https:\/\/henrico.gov\/health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"4\">Henrico<\/a>; our whole staff shares Keesha\u2019s investment in client-centered care!\u00a0As you can see in this\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/richmond.com\/news\/local\/article_380f9e39-0085-5c90-9930-d99cb9c1d2b5.html\" href=\"https:\/\/richmond.com\/news\/local\/article_380f9e39-0085-5c90-9930-d99cb9c1d2b5.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" data-linkindex=\"5\">report<\/a>\u00a0from the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Keesha was the face of RHHD\u2019s vaccination efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When RHHD\u2019s Public Health Nurse Keesha Sellers learned she\u2019d been named VDH\u2019s Central Virginia Nurse of the Year, she began reflecting on the journey that brought her to public health [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":590,"featured_media":22367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"modified_by":"bryanhooten","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
