I am a Registered Nurse working in the capacity as a Hospital Care Coordinator at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener, Ontario. In this role I help support discharge planning ensuring that patients who require services (PSW, nursing, PT, OT) when they return at home are set up for a safe return home and support their return to their baseline, or support them in palliation goals. I also support patients who are not able to return home, and need long term care placements by completing their applications.

I have worked in the past for primary care physicians, worked as a palliative community nurse, and most recently as a diabetes nurse educator for the adult diabetes program.
