In 2019, our hospital was recognized as a designated Choosing Wisely Canada Hospital demonstrating our commitment to reducing unnecessary tests and treatments in health care. 

On the Choosing Wisely Canada website it notes, “Unnecessary tests and treatments are not only potentially harmful to patients, but also consume precious hospital resources. Fortunately, there are known and effective ways to curb overuse and many hospitals across Canada have implemented these measures.”

Last month marked Denise’s 21^st Anniversary working with us, starting her career in July 2001 at the Shelburne District Hospital.

When Denise first joined us, it was as a member of the Environmental Services team where she would assist with laundry. She also spent time in housekeeping throughout the hospital and as part of our Nutrition Services team.

Bobbi Jo started her career with us at the Dufferin Area Hospital in 1991 as a registered nursing student. She feels privileged to have had two wonderful preceptors, who she has since worked alongside for years after completing her placement.  

Phyllis holds a Bachelor of Arts Honours Degree in English from York University, a diploma in Book and Magazine Publishing from Centennial College and a diploma in Medical Transcription from Thomas Education.  

Phyllis joined our team in 2000 as a float clerk where she provided coverage for others as they took breaks. In 2010 she assumed a part-time position with our registration team.
