Susan is a wonderful nurse and advocate.

We all want to be there for the people we love. 🧡

Most of us will care for a loved one who is ill, dying, or grieving, yet many of us do not feel prepared for those final chapters. So why not join facilitators Sue Doucette and Catherine Gaudet for the Last Aid course at the Summerside Regional Library. You’ll gain the practical tools and confidence to support those close to you through life’s most difficult transitions.

🗓️ Thursday, April 16 | 6PM – 9PM
📍 Key Family Room, Summerside Regional Library

Let me begin by saying thank you. I wasn't sure how my actions a week ago would be received... the response has been overwhelming. I am humbled by the many comments and the support that has been shown to healthcare workers.
More importantly, I have been encouraged and proud of the way Islanders have taken action. I am hopeful for change.
