CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE – Brenda L. Douglass, board-certified advance practice nurse, has joined Cape Regional Physicians Associates, effective Nov. 12.

She earned a master of science in nursing from Thomas Jefferson University and subsequently obtained her board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Undergraduate studies were completed at Immaculata University where she earned a bachelor of science in nursing.

Jack Thomas jokes about how badly behaved a class he taught 20 years ago was -- to the point it made him ill -- but the disease he suffered was no laughing matter.

Thomas had herpes zoster, commonly known as shingles.

“It’s a very painful disease,” said Kevin Thomas, health officer of the Cape May County Department of Health and younger sibling of Jack Thomas. “My brother had it, and as soon as I hit 60, I’m getting the vaccine.”
