Thompson said Brant recently volunteered to serve as treasurer of the Washington State Nurses Association at Providence VNA Home Health. She said the two planned to speak on behalf of nurses at the state nurses association’s “Lobby Day” in February at the state Capitol.

“This is devastating to his family, his patients, his colleagues at Providence VNA, and to WSNA,” the association’s statement said.
