“It is such a beautiful act of humility, to sit at someone’s feet, the body’s lowest place, and provide care that goes beyond words, demonstrating how we can each try to be the first to show respect to the other. You can learn a lot about someone’s health from their feet… this is the art and science of nursing. Here is diversity, equity, inclusion and justice, all wrapped up in one act…let each of us be the first to respect one another.”
-Dr Kathy Magorian, Dean of Nursing at Mount Marty University in South Dakota, who brought foot clinics to Nursing Heart in 2016.

For many elderly community members, this is the first time they’ve received professional foot care. Our foot treatment services include:
These clinics are not only a significant boost for the well-being of our patients, providing comfort and care, but they also offer invaluable growth opportunities for health professionals and students. By engaging in these hands-on experiences, they gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of holistic patient care, ultimately benefiting both their personal and professional development.
