South East
As a former advisor to two Ministers of Health and Long-Term Care I bring a unique perspective to the role of Community Partnership Coordinator. For three years I worked with Members of Provincial Parliament to help them resolve issues related to health care and the health system for their communities and constituents. As a result I gained an understanding of the recruitment challenges and resources available in the province and the Champlain LHIN in particular. I am excited to now be working directly with communities to assist them in meeting their health human resource needs.
In addition to my work at the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care I have also been involved in the non-profit sector over the past 15 years as a volunteer and staff, including serving on the provincial board for Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving, the University of Ottawa Board of Governors and most recently as President of the board for Planned Parenthood Ottawa.
If you have any questions about what I do or the many programs and services offered by the HealthForceOntario Marketing and Recruitment Agency, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
