UMS Nurse
My name is Kylie Whitehead. I am the School Nurse at Union Middle School. My husband Ben and I have 3 children, Brady, Mason, and Izzy, and my daughter in law, Sydney. I have been a nurse for 23 years with 17 of those being in pediatrics and school nursing. I truly love all the students here at Union Middle School and I am here to help take care of them at school each day.
