Canfield Avenue School

Hi! I’m Nurse Cruz, and I’m thrilled to be in my second year at Canfield. With over 20 years of pediatric experience, I’m dedicated to helping our students stay healthy, safe, and ready to learn every day. I’m also a strong advocate against chronic absenteeism — because being present and healthy is one of the best foundations for success.

I enjoy connecting with students, families, and staff to promote wellness, prevention, and health education at school and in our broader community.

My door is always open. Plus — yo hablo español — I’m here to offer inclusive, accessible care for everyone. Let’s work together to keep our Canfield community healthy, connected, and thriving!
