Award Winning Health Leader | Nurse | Educator | Coach & Consultant | Nonprofit Founder | Equity Advocate | Wife | Mother | 🏳️🌈
As an uninvited guest grateful to currently live on the traditional and unceded lands of the Secwépemc Nation, I reflect on my leadership journey in healthcare throughout 2023. I am heartened by the strides we've made in prioritizing cultural safety within programs and services. Our commitment to inclusivity has not only diversified our approach but has also paved the way for enhanced accessibility for underserved areas and underserved populations. However, the journey is far from over, and as we stand on the cusp of 2024, I am filled with a renewed sense of purpose and energy. It's crucial to acknowledge the great work accomplished thus far, but it's equally important to recognize the challenges that persist. There is much work to be done, and I am committed to collaborating on a mission that aligns with our shared vision and values. In the coming year, let's build on our successes, learning from our experiences, and leverage our collective wisdom to start addressing the gaps that still exist. It's not just about meeting standards; it's about exceeding them, ensuring that cultural safety becomes an ingrained part of organizational DNA. Let's strive for a healthcare system where everyone, regardless of background or identity, feels seen, heard, and well-cared for. As we embark on this journey into 2024, I am hopeful that our commitment to cultural safety will become even more deeply embedded in our practices. Let's seize this opportunity for growth, embracing the challenges as catalysts for positive change. Together, we can create a healthcare landscape that not only meets but surpasses the expectations of our diverse communities. Here's to a year of resilience, innovation, and unwavering dedication to our shared commitments. Wishing the absolute best to you and yours. 🙏🏼 #LeadershipReflections #HealthcareInnovation #CulturalSafety #healinghealthcare #bchealthcare #beautifulbritishcolumbia #2024Vision #healthleaders #leadershipexcellence #womeninleadership #changemakers
