The Kudos Awards recognize the outstanding achievements, hard work and teamwork that help create a world-class health experience at Mackenzie Health. We're proud to celebrate Jenette, Patient Access Representative, for the positive impact she makes on patients and colleagues every day.

"Providing an exceptional patient experience means treating every patient with respect and compassion, and making sure they feel heard and supported throughout their visit," says Jenette. Whether she's helping patients navigate their health care journey or supporting new team members as they build confidence in their roles, she goes above and beyond to make a difference every day.

As a member of our Patient Access team, Jenette helps ensure care is organized, timely and as stress-free as possible, often through important behind-the-scenes work that patients may never see.

Congratulations, Jenette, and thank you for your dedication to our patients, families and team members! đź‘Ź

Sunny days can turn stormy fast, especially in the summer. Knowing what to do when lightning strikes could save a life.

Just ask Chris Burden, a Registered Nurse and Patient Care Manager at Mackenzie Health. While golfing in 2014, he saw a man struck by lightning and immediately jumped into action. His quick CPR response saved the man’s life.

With summer storms on the rise, Chris shares these lightning safety tips to help you stay safe:

• Act fast. If the sky shifts or thunder rolls in, get to shelter immediately — especially in open areas like golf courses. On golf courses, always take weather sirens seriously.

• Don’t wait for rain. Thunder means lightning is close enough to strike. Avoid high ground, water and isolated trees. Get inside a building or a fully enclosed vehicle.

• Stay sheltered. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder before heading back out. Don’t assume it’s safe just because the sky is clearing and know that lightning can strike the same place twice.

• If someone is struck: Call 911. If you are CPR trained, ensure it’s safe to help before checking for responsiveness and beginning resuscitation. If it is safe to do so, use an AED as early as possible, following the instructions provided.

Chris’s story is a powerful reminder that recognizing the signs of danger — and knowing what to do if lightning strikes someone — can make all the difference.

Heading to the CNE for those famous over-the-top food creations? 🎡🍔🍩

Before you dive in, have a protein and fibre-rich meal, bring a refillable water bottle and consider sharing menu items with friends so you can sample more without overdoing it.

"The best way to enjoy CNE food is to pace yourself," says Dr. Nikila Ravindran, Gastroenterology Physician at Mackenzie Health. "Share larger portions, stay hydrated and choose one unique treat instead of several."

If you do indulge in a sugary or extra-rich treat, balance it out with your next meal.

Choosing something lighter, like a salad, smoothie or meal packed with vegetables and protein, can help you stay energized for the rest of your day.

For more than 42 years, Virginia has been a dedicated volunteer at Mackenzie Health, making a difference through kindness, compassion and a welcoming smile. Many visitors know her from the Information Desk, where she helps patients and families find their way and feel supported during their time at the hospital.

"A pleasant smile goes a long way," says Virginia. It’s an approach she has carried with her throughout her decades of service, helping create a positive experience for everyone she meets.

Mackenzie Health holds a special place in Virginia’s heart. In 1985, the care she received in the Emergency Department led to the discovery of a malignant kidney tumour. That experience, along with her desire to give back to the community, inspired a lifelong commitment to volunteering.

Virginia’s generosity and positive spirit have not only touched patients and families, but have also inspired fellow volunteers and students, leaving a lasting impact on those who have had the opportunity to learn and work alongside her.

Thank you, Virginia, for the care, warmth and dedication you’ve shared over the past four decades. ❤️

When Rolynda first stepped into Mackenzie Health, she imagined a future here. Today, she’s living it as a Registered Nurse, supporting patients when they need it most.

“As soon as I stepped into Mackenzie Health, I made a wish that if I ever got my RN licence, I would work here,” says Rolynda. “That wish came true, and since then I've called Mackenzie Health my second home."

After serving as a Clinical Facilitator supporting nursing graduates and newly hired nurses, Rolynda returned to the bedside, where she finds the greatest reward in caring for patients, easing their pain and helping them feel supported when they need it most.
