Donna-Lynn was born in Mississauga and moved to Orangeville when she was four years old. Attending high school at Orangeville District Secondary School, Donna-Lynn was looking for a part-time job. At this time, she had two family members that also worked at the hospital and learned about an opportunity to work part-time in Housekeeping.

Each month we will be sharing stories of team members at HHCC; their history with the hospital and the transformative work they do every day to strengthen our culture and community. This month we celebrate Heather, Registered Nurse, E-Wing.

Lujan had no idea that her life would change so much overnight. “We live in rural Ontario in Dornoch, and thought being out here, we’d be safe from the virus,” she said.

He had many of the symptoms of the virus and he went to the COVID-19 at the Assessment Centre in Orangeville. He tested positive.
