Holiday Connections, Professional Impact: NANT Social Hour Delivers

Holiday Connections, Professional Impact: NANT Social Hour Delivers

As the holiday season approaches, NANT’s recent social hour proved that meaningful professional connection doesn’t depend on crowd size—it depends on engagement. Though intimate in attendance, the conversation was rich, dynamic, and impactful, bringing together dialysis professionals from across the country in a relaxed, peer-driven setting.

The session welcomed both familiar faces and new voices. William Maricas joined the discussion, alongside new members Kelly and Emily. Conversations naturally turned to key topics such as NANT initiatives and DTX43, with Kelly sharing firsthand experience from joining in 2020 and reflecting on the value of NANT’s member benefits. Meghan highlighted the importance of contact hours and the strength of NANT’s learning library—resources that continue to support professional growth at every career stage. Even as the formal meeting wrapped up early, the connections didn’t stop. Additional time on the call led to conversations with prospective member Kevin William Turner, whose enthusiasm sparked further discussion, amplified by Kevin Burns’ deep leadership insight and experience within NANT.

What stood out most was the spirit of commitment and community. Tianna joined while actively caring for patients, stepping in briefly to offer her support—a powerful reminder of the dedication shared across the dialysis field. By the end of the hour, three new memberships had been added, reinforcing the value of these informal yet impactful gatherings.

As this article reaches you during Christmas week, consider it an invitation: the next NANT social hour is more than a meeting—it’s a space to connect, learn, and recharge with peers who understand the work you do every day. Pull up a chair, bring your perspective, and be part of a national conversation that continues to grow.
