MISSIONARY LATRICE DAVIS, MHA, MSN, RN
Shift Your Perspective to Improve Your Health: Men’s and Women’s Health Concerns
Latrice Dunkinsel-Davis is married to Elder Bruce Davis, and they have five adult children and six grandchildren. As the eldest daughter of her parents, Latrice has always had a nurturing spirit, desiring to care for others from childhood through adulthood. When her mother was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, Latrice's role as a caregiver deepened, inspiring her to pursue a career in nursing.
With over 25 years of professional experience, Latrice has dedicated her life to all aspects of nursing and caregiving, both within her family and in her community and is a literal storehouse of information. She also serves as a missionary and church nurse at the local and national levels, embodying her calling to care for others in all settings. More than a profession for Latrice, caring for others is her passion and an integral part of her life's work. This work is reflected in the recent release of her series of published books for caregivers.
