ADVOCATE FOR THE NEEDY

This year’s nominees were submitted from Niagara to Thunder Bay

Public health nurse Jennifer D’Andrade offers a lifeline to those without OHIP.

The Toronto Star Nightingale Award is presented each year to an Ontario nurse nominated for recognition by their patients or peers. The recipient and honourable mentions are selected by a panel of representatives from the Star and Ontario’s nursing associations.
