While caring for Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital earlier this month, 26-year-old nurse Nina Pham was also infected with the disease. After first being hospitalized at the Texas hospital, she was later transferred to the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland to continue treatment.
But today, 15 days after she first tested positive for Ebola, Nina was declared Ebola-free. Shortly after leaving the hospital, President Obama welcomed her to the Oval Office before she returns home to Dallas.
