Shared on behalf of Caroline Fanti, Director of Regional Surgical Services
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) is pleased to introduce Stephanie Vincent (Da Silva), Nurse Practitioner, who will support surgical transitions and remote patient monitoring for patients in Northwestern Ontario undergoing shoulder, spine, and colorectal surgery at TBRHSC. She is an enthusiastic and dedicated Nurse Practitioner bringing 8 years of primary and acute care experience to the team.
Born and raised in Northwestern Ontario, Stephanie has an appreciation for expanding methods of care delivery to support patients in the region. Stephanie started her nursing career as an RN within the Emergency Department at TBRHSC where she enjoyed the fast-paced team approach to care. With a passion for Primary Health Care, she completed her Master of Public Health and Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner certificate from Lakehead University in 2017. Subsequently, she worked as a Nurse Practitioner at an Indigenous Health Access Centre in Kenora, where she embraced the culture and promoted holistic health care of patients. Stephanie has since enjoyed her Primary Care Practice with the Lakehead Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic in Thunder Bay and developed a special interest for Orthopedics.
With her experience both locally and in the region, Stephanie is excited to help facilitate this new program. She looks forward to developing strong relationships with patients and providers surrounding shoulder, spine, and colorectal surgery and encouraging continuity of care through this innovative program. She is optimistic that this program will prevent emergency visits and readmissions by supporting patients where they feel most comfortable – in their homes.
Please join us in welcoming Stephanie, who will start this role on April 26.
