⭐ Meet the SCFHT!

Gabby has joined the SCFHT as a Quality Improvement & Decision Support Specialist (QIDSS). Welcome to the team Gabby!

"Hi, I’m Gabby, born and raised in Kenora, Ontario. ❤️ Kenora will always be home, and I’m proud to be part of this community.
After high school, I headed to Peterborough, Ontario, to continue my education and begin building my career. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in different areas of healthcare, learning, growing, and meeting so many wonderful people along the way. I’m a wife, a mom and those that know me know, you’ll probably find me on the sidelines at a sporting event, cheering loudly for my kiddos and their teammates! I’m definitely not afraid to be that loud mom celebrating the wins, encouraging them through the tough moments, and making sure they always know how proud I am of the whole team. Travel and the food I get to experience is my personal passion and hope to spend as much time exploring this amazing planet along with my family and friends with the hope of meeting some new friends and having new adventures along the way! I am excited to begin working with this amazing team here at Sunset Country. If you see me around the halls, please feel free to say Hi!!"
