Derek J. Barker

Midwife and nurse, Brooklyn

  • 🇺🇸 Brooklyn, New York, United States
  • Brooklyn Children's Hospital
  • Since 1993
  • English
I trained as a nurse in 1993 and worked since 1993 at Brooklyn Children's Hospital, mostly in school nursing. I'm usually the first one in and the last to leave. Small things matter when someone is frightened.

More about Derek

I still get cards from families years later. They're pinned to my fridge.
What gifts mean to Derek: Anything sent will help me keep volunteering at the clinic on weekends.
