WELCOME SARAH ANTONICK LICENSED PRACTICAL NURSE

Written by

Welcome

Sarah Antonick

Licensed Practical Nurse

 

I am pleased to let you know that USIB has a new on-call Nurse joining the Health Centre team.

 

Sarah has been nursing for over 12 years as a nurse at Princeton Hospital in the emergency department and in-patient care. She is also specialized in rehabilitation.

 

Sarah has a comprehensive understanding of culturally respectful community health care. She strongly believes in the rights of patient confidentiality and the patient being in the lead of their own care.

 

While our valued health team member and Care Aide, Lindsay Bishop, is away this week, we will be assisted by Sarah.

 

Sarah can be reached directly at the Health Centre on May 10th & May 12th, 2022. Please leave a message with Megin, USIB Community Health Assistant, should Sarah be with a member, and Sarah will get right back to you.
