Arin McKona, ASN, RN (he/him/his) is the Ambulatory Nursing Lead at Transhealth Northampton. He received his degree from Holyoke Community College and gained his clinical experience at local hospitals. Being a nurse is Arin’s passion and purpose; he believes every human deserves love and respect. 
Arin identifies as a transgender male who would like to offer the kind of compassion and understanding that so many other trans and gender-diverse people deserve but often do not receive in their everyday lives. Transhealth has allowed Arin to help treat the local LGBTQ+ and guide them through becoming their authentic selves as he has been able to do. 
In Arin’s spare time, he enjoys caring for his many succulent plants, traveling with his wife, Nicky, and spending as much time as he can with his family.
