I am pleased to announce that Dayna Foulds has accepted the Full Time Indigenous Care Coordinator (ICC) position effective September 8. 

We are thrilled to welcome Dayna as she steps into the role previously held by Carla Shawayhamaish, who is now embarking on a well-earned and exciting retirement journey! A heartfelt Miigwech to Carla for her incredible dedication and tireless efforts in advancing the health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples at TBRHSC. Her impact will be felt for years to come — congratulations, Carla! 

Dayna brings a wealth of knowledge from her experience as a Registered Nurse on 1A, Public Health Nurse at Independent First Nations Alliance, Community Wellbeing Nurse at Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority and Registered Nurse at Nipigon District Memorial Hospital.

As the ICC, Dayna will report to the Manager, Indigenous Collaboration, Equity, and Inclusion, where she will work in collaboration with the other ICCs in the Miskwaa Biidaaban – Indigenous Collaboration department to provide culturally safe care to improve health delivery and equity outcomes for Indigenous Peoples within the organization.
