Nurse Practitioner Week at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (November 10-16)

Nurse Practitioner (NP) Week is celebrated annually during the second week of November to recognize the exceptional care that these healthcare professionals provide to communities across Ontario.

At Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, NPs offer a comprehensive range of services, including ordering, performing, and interpreting diagnostic tests; diagnosing and treating acute and chronic conditions; prescribing medications and treatments; and managing overall patient care. They play a crucial role in various hospital services, including but not limited to Cancer Management, Surgical Services, Cardiology, the Regional Stroke Program, the Hospitalist Program, and the Nurse-Led Outreach Team, which supports long-term care facilities in the community.

We invite you to join us in expressing gratitude to our past and present NPs for their commitment to our patients and their essential contributions to patient care. To learn more about NPs, click here (via the Nurse Practitioners Association of Ontario).

Stay tuned for more! Throughout NP Week (November 10-16), we will be spotlighting NPs to highlight the important roles they play at our Hospital.
