Our Health Professionals

At the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, our goal is to provide Patient and Family Centred Care to our patients built on values of quality, dignity, respect, accountability, and commitment. The Health Sciences Centre uses an “interprofessional” model of care, meaning that all health professionals work together in a team environment to develop and provide the best treatment programs, ultimately improving patient care.

Many of our health professionals specialize in particular areas of care, in some cases requiring extra coursework and testing. For example, we have cardiovascular nurses who have taken special certification, physiotherapists dedicated to orthopaedics, and psychologists working exclusively with cancer patients and their families. This approach supports our philosophy of dedicated, deliberate, and compassionate caring. All health professionals at the Health Sciences Centre are committed to Patient and Family Centred Care.
