Fiona has amassed over 27 years of increasingly senior health care experience, distinguishing herself as a values-based leader, cultivating ethical and progressive organizational cultures that put patients and residents first.

Fiona’s diverse health care experience, her commitment to Truth & Reconciliation with Indigenous People, her emphasis on collaboration, innovation, organizational culture, performance excellence, and her focus on staff/physician engagement and patient involvement are leading Providence in helping to transform health care for all people living in B.C.
