This International Women’s Day, we’re recognizing the women on Bluewater Health’s executive team who help shape the direction of our hospital.

Four members of our executive team are women whose leadership guides important decisions across Bluewater Health - from clinical quality and patient experience to operations and strategy.

Exceptional care and a culture of kindness start with strong leadership. These leaders help set that tone every day, supporting teams across the organization and helping ensure the best possible care for the communities we serve.

Today, we celebrate their leadership and the impact of women across Bluewater Health.

Today, we celebrate National Hospitalist Day! Hospitalists like Dr. Sung play a vital role in the patient experience and care during their stay at Bluewater Health.

"I completed part of my training at Bluewater Health and experienced nothing but warmth and kindness from both staff and patients," explains Dr. Sung. "That sense of community, along with the chance to be closer to family, made the decision to return an easy one. It's a privilege to be part of a team delivering exceptional care close to home."

Hospitalists provide essential, around-the-clock care for patients during their hospital stay, working closely with care teams to support safe, high-quality care and a positive patient experience.

Join us in celebrating National Hospitalist Day!

Last week, a dynamic cohort of Lambton College students completed their clinical placement with the Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP).

The students were instrumental in supporting our patients aged 65+ who face a higher risk of hospital-acquired delirium. Their contributions supported essential geriatric care, including:

Cultural Competency: Students shared their heritage by wearing traditional attire, fostering deep human connections and cultural exchange.

Cognitive Support: Students implemented delirium prevention strategies and range-of-motion exercises.

The "Inside My World" Tool: Students utilized this custom-built resource to enhance cognitive engagement and foster reminiscing/ cultural sharing.

HELP continues to anchor our commitment to holistic senior care, including sensory support, nutrition, and delirium‑prevention through DASH. We’re grateful to these emerging healthcare professionals for the compassion and creativity they brought to our patients.
