Good morning, Charleston. Justine here. 👋 We’re kicking off the week by celebrating National Nurses Week – which runs today through May 12. 👩⚕️👨⚕️If you’re a nurse in the Charleston area, you can stop by any BIGGBY Coffee location today for a free 16 oz beverage of your choice (for the first 50 nurses to stop in with I.D.) including lattes, tea lattes, regular coffee, smoothies, frozen hot chocolate, + more. ☕
Special shoutout to all the nurses + nursing students who are serving our community at MUSC Health.
