I am pleased to announce that Rachel Lyon has accepted the position of Patient Care Manager, 2B Medical Inpatient Unit effective March 24, 2025.  

Rachel brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this role, making her an excellent fit for our team. Rachel graduated from Lakehead University in 2019 and began her nursing career on 1A, working both on Medicine and on 1A Oncology, after completing her Chemotherapy/Biotherapy course through the Desouza Institute. Rachel went on to complete the Complex Malignant Hematology Course, also offered through the Desouza Institute. 

After her time as a Registered Nurse on Oncology, Rachel became the first Coordinator on 1A, assisting both on the unit, and with the Complex Malignant Hematology (CMH) Clinic. She assisted with the day-to-day operations of the unit and worked closely with the Cancer Centre by supporting the team with patient admissions and follow-up appointments upon discharge.  

Rachel is currently the Acting Manager on 1A where she has developed excellent leadership skills that will be invaluable in her new role. We look forward to the positive impact she will undoubtedly have on our team and patients we serve. 

Please join me in welcoming Rachel to her new role.

Please share with your staff.
