Kristie goes above and beyond to ensure her patients’ mobility goals are met, and encourages other members of the team to work collaboratively with patients and families.

Emily has been recognized for her compassion towards each person she meets, keeping patient comfort and confidentiality at the core of how she participates in their care at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

We would also like to acknowledge all other TBRHSC staff who were nominated for this month’s PFCC Shout Outs. Congratulations to Rita Tosolini (RN, 2C), Jessica McAnulty (SW, Cancer Centre), Marissa Fazzari (2C/RAVE Coordinator), Lauren Hendren (NP, Cancer Centre) and Shijo Jose Prakash (RPN. TCU). Your care and compassion for our patients and families exemplifies PFCC within our organization by showing a commitment to communication, collaboration, dignity, and respect for all patients/families, enabling them to remain key participants in their own health.

Do you know someone in our organization who consistently demonstrates exceptional Patient and Family Centred Care (PFCC)? We want to hear about them!

Simply send a PFCC Shout Out email to TBRHSC.PFCC@tbh.net and include the staff member’s name, department, and a brief description of what they did that deserves recognition.
