March is Engineering Month, a time to celebrate the profession of engineering. Engineers in hospitals work in a variety of roles, including project planning and execution, facility engineering, and biomedical engineering. They design, develop, and maintain equipment and spaces to support clinical care.

2025 is a milestone year for the engineering profession, marking the 100th anniversary of the Calling of an Engineer (where engineering students receive their Iron Rings). A valued symbol for many engineering graduates, the Iron Ring is an ever-present reminder of the commitment engineers make to serve the public with integrity and ethics.

We want to take this opportunity to recognize the dedication, passion, and hard work of engineers here at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre. These staff endeavour to improve our patients’ care experience through innovation and progress, and support our vision of exceptional care for every patient, every time.
