Nurse Practitioner (NP) Week is held annually the second week of November to recognize the exceptional care these health care professionals provide to communities across Ontario.

At Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, NPs provide a full range of services, such as ordering, performing and interpreting diagnostic tests; diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions; prescribing medications and treatments; and managing overall patient care. They play a vital role in multiple Hospital services including, but not limited to, Cancer Management, Surgical Services, Cardiology, Regional Stroke Program, Hospitalist Program and the Nurse Led Outreach Team that supports community long term care facilities. Learn more about the profession here.

Please join us in thanking our past and present NPs for their commitment to our patients and their vital contributions to patient care.
