Staff members at the Essex County Nurse Practitioner-Led Clinic (ECNPLC) opened the facility to clients and the community last Thursday evening to enjoy several sweet or spicy dishes prepared for the holiday-themed 4th Annual Soup and Chili Cook Off.
The staff members prepared the dishes, with an aim to take home the top bragging right prize in the friendly competition. Attendees to the event had their work cut out for them as there were five soup and five chili dishes entered into the challenge.
Thanks to community support, and the event’s growing popularity, staff at the ECNPLC were pleased to see that this year’s event attracted the largest turnout yet. It was a wonderful opportunity for members of the community to enjoy the holiday-themed festivity and, for those who are not clients, to connect with primary healthcare providers to get an understanding of all the programs and services offered at the clinic.
Going along with the holiday theme, participants were able to vote who wore the most festive and ugliest sweaters.
