Safe care for growing families

In her role as a unit coordinator, Samantha manages day-to-day duties, organizes staffing, oversees both the Labour and Delivery and Postpartum units, as well as addressing acute and chronic issues that arise. Throughout her career at NYGH, Samantha has been committed to specialized care that is required for expecting mothers and their children – and she is proud to work at the largest and most comprehensive maternal and newborn program at a community academic hospital in the province.

Research never stops

Samantha recognizes that research and education never stop. She embraces NYGH for its long track record of innovation in patient safety and process improvements, which is especially critical when caring and treating parents and their newborns. By thinking outside the box, she knows we are constantly growing and improving care for our patients and their loved ones.

Paying it forward

Samantha is a recent winner of the staff lottery and takes part in it to give back to an organization that has given so much to her. She believes we can pay it forward – and help the hospital continue and thrive in its mission to provide exceptional health care to our diverse communities.
