Read What Our Staff Have To Say About Working Here
“It’s so fun to attend community events! Because the community is small, you get to see your clients selling their crafts and artwork, and it feels like it completes the circle. You’re helping your clients to get better and you’re able to see them getting back to what makes them happy. You don’t get to see that in a bigger city.”
Amelie Mainguy–Deslandes
Physiotherapist
“They (Patients) are so incredibly appreciative of me taking the time the time to listen to their story, asking them about where they came from, and what they like to do back home. Sometimes I help fix their medical problems, and sometimes I can’t. But I’ve been blown away by how accepting patients are of the fact that we try and we are doing our best, and are appreciative whether or not they get better. It is a privilege to care for them.”
Dr. Kajsa Heyes
Family Physician
“What I’ve been able to accomplish in my career here would take me forever if I was living in another province. Every time I’ve reached out to further my education and training, they have been supportive.”
“I’ve had a great career, learning so much and working with fantastic professionals. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in coming up!”
June Bartlett
Cancer Nurse Navigator
“In the 5 years I’ve lived in Fort Smith, I’ve had the opportunity to support women in my community through their second or third pregnancy. When I attend community events or go grocery shopping, I often run into my clients and their children, and get to see them grow. That is one of the most rewarding and meaningful parts of being a midwife in a small community. Buy a warm jacket, and embrace it! The people are so welcoming, and you’re going to fall in love with the community, nature, and opportunities.
