Selena is a nurse here at Brightshores Owen Sound, who was recently recognized as a healthcare hero for her compassion, calm presence and dedication. Read the kind words from her nominator below:

Featured: Inter‐generational Wealth Transfers in Rural Canada: Dr. Ryan Gibson

Rural areas are places of wealth, however, this wealth is increasingly mobile. Without careful consideration, much of it could leave rural areas as younger generations move to urban centres. Intergenerational transfers of wealth could play a crucial role in supporting rural communities. Evidence will show that time is of the essence! This presentation will explore how philanthropy could play a huge role in sustaining rural communities and how professional advisors could be part of the solution.

Dr. Gibson is Libro Professor in Regional Economic Development at the University of Guelph. He is interested in the issues of rural development, philanthropy, immigration, rural policy, and community collaboration.

Congratulations Deb, Amanda, Carrie, and Dorothy for being recognized as Healthcare Heroes!! 👏👏👏👏

These incredible RNs work in the Ambulatory Care Department at Brightshores Owen Sound and were recently recognized for providing exceptional care, not just during a single visit, but every time their nominator comes in for an appointment. Read the kind words from their nominator below:

"For 2+ years, I have regularly utilized the U.V. Booth within the Ambulatory Dept. in Owen Sound Hospital. Every time, I must interrupt the nurses to program the machine for my session and yet Amanda, Carrie, Deb and Dorothy never show any frustration. Without exception, they greet me warmly, by name, as if I am the only patient of their day. They never lapse from protocol, but the human side is also never forgotten. Their genuine warmth is tangible & I am so grateful for their part in my life and my healing." – Christine

Thank you ladies! Your compassion and kindness that you bring to work with you everyday does not go unnoticed!

Heather is one of our wonderful physiotherapists here at Brightshores Owen Sound who was recently recognized as a Healthcare Hero. She was recognized by a patient who recently underwent shoulder surgery and is extremely impressed how physio has helped her post surgery.

Read what her nominator wrote below:

"I am so grateful for the physio I have been receiving from Heather. She is amazing and knows her business. Because of her qualifications, I am way ahead of my time in healing and getting my arm back to full movement. Heather is very caring and compassionate in her profession who I feel strongly should be recognized."

Thank you Heather! We are so lucky to have you part of the physio team!

Thank you to those who have supported our Healthcare Hero program by recognizing great care received. It has been so wonderful sharing all of the kind words and personal messages from donors, with staff.

Earlier this week, we were able to go to the Emergency Department (ED) to share a few recent Healthcare Hero nominations with them and also provide them with a pizza party (courtesy of Pizza Hut Owen Sound)! The staff heard phrases such as "excellent care", "a huge thanks" and "you saved my life". Sharing your gratitude is more than just words, it is a reminder that what they're doing matters.

Thank you Owen Sound ED for all your hard work and dedication. We know you are working around the clock to provide excellent care to our community!
