Giulia Danielle continues to advance her nursing practice though continuous education to the benefit of her fellow colleagues, her team, regional patients and their families.
Giulia graduated from Lakehead University Bachelor of Science Nursing Program in 2017. Since that time, she has received her Indigenous Cultural Safety Training Certification, Addiction Care and Treatment (University of British Columbia), CNA Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing Certification, and Healthcare: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification. Most recently she has enrolled in her Masters of Health Administration, University of Regina. Giulia has served on Alpha Court’s Board of Directors as well as Alpha Court’s Governance Committee since 2019. She is also a member of the Canadian Nurses Association and Registered Nurses Association. In addition, Giulia was an active participant with developing our Strategic Plan 2026 by serving as a member of a Strategic Planning Focus Group.
Giulia has engaged in countless training sessions including RNAO’s Best Practice Champion and has been an active community role model by volunteering regularly at the Thunder Bay Regional Food Distribution Association (RFDA). In addition, she has volunteered at St. Andrew’s Dew Drop Inn, Alzheimer Society, Heart & Stroke Foundation and Shelter House Thunder Bay.
Giulia currently works on the Mental Health Assessment Team and the Adult Mental Health In-Patient Unit. She has a strong desire to lead and previously led her team through two successful trials of the Regional Mental Health Assessment Team (MHAT) service. This service was developed in partnership with St. Joseph’s Care Group (SJCG) and Lake of the Woods District Hospital (LWDH). Giulia’s enthusiasm for the program was infectious and her determination was admired. Her patients, their families, and our regional partners benefited from this service by eliminating the need to transfer 60% of referred patients to our Hospital or LWDH. Instead, patients received care closer to home and usually in their home communities. This new program elevated the nursing profession by delivering care that traditionally involved psychiatry only. The program continues to deliver this successful service because of Giulia’s dedication to the nursing profession. Giulia is truly an exceptional nurse!
