Making An Impression on Patients
On May 10, 2018, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton's nurses and allied health team received an award at the Impressions 2018 event held by the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
"The multi-disciplinary teamwork on display daily on 7 nephrology reliably gets complicated patients home safely, promptly and politely. They are an inspiration to work with," said Dr. Darin Treleaven, Nephrologist and Medical Director.
The team was recognized for continued dedication and support of people living with kidney disease.
"Our interprofessional team embraces and implements collaborative compassionate patient centred care in all that they do. They make a difference!" said Jane Loncke, Clinical Director.
In its 7th year, the Impressions event has celebrated the work of The Kidney Foundation of Canada and the collaborative relationship with the renal and research programs at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton and McMaster University in Hamilton. During that time, nurses and allied health teams have been integral in offering patients and their families the support they deserve and need.
