I am pleased to announce that Holly Freill has accepted the position of Interprofessional Educator at the Hospital.

Holly graduated from the University of Guelph with a B.A.Sc in Human Nutrition and completed a Masters Degree in Food & Nutrition through the University of Western Ontario.

Holly has extensive experience within the renal program where she has worked as a Dietitian for the last 11 years. She worked collaboratively in an interdisciplinary team to support nutritional status of end stage renal failure patients in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. Within this department, she designed and authored multiple publications on First Nations people living in remote communities with chronic kidney disease.

Holly is also affiliated with many of our community partners; Northern Ontario School of Medicine as a Preceptor and Adjunct Faculty, and with Lakehead University and Confederation College as a Sessional Lecturer. Holly is also the recipient of the Human Touch Award through Cancer Care Ontario and the recipient of our Walk the Talk Award.

We are thrilled to have Holly on our team and look forward to her unique perspective and the diverse skillset she will bring.

When not at work, she enjoys trail running, ultimate Frisbee and spending time with her family.
Please join me in welcoming Holly to the role.
