Shared on behalf of Katie Forbes, Manager, Labour & Delivery / Maternal Newborn

---

Karen graduated from Lakehead University in 1983 and was hired at McKellar Hospital where she took a position as a NICU/Well Baby Nursery nurse. When the hospitals amalgamated Karen took a position as a Maternal/Newborn nurse and remained there until her retirement in June 2022. Karen is respected by all of her colleagues for her knowledge and her attention to detail. Whenever there was a relatively quiet moment on the unit Karen could be found organizing various areas of the unit to make everything function more efficiently. It didn’t go unnoticed and we appreciate all you did for the unit.

On behalf of Karen’s friends and colleagues in the Women and Children’s Program, we want to commend Karen for her dedication and professionalism during her entire career as a registered nurse and we wish her all the best in her retirement. A truly great co-worker is hard to find, difficult to part with and impossible to forget!
