Not only did we have @LeighRaithby presenting at SK’s Community Health Nurse TB Workshop this morning, we were also graced with a virtual presentation by Dr. Elizabeth Rea @StopTBCanada
We cannot thank you enough for sharing your knowledge and expertise today – at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Thank you for making the trip to Saskatoon to share your role and talk about how amazing STOP TB Canada is! Your passion radiated throughout. I’m sure you’ve inspired many today!
With a team dispersed across the country, it’s always great when our members can connect in-person! Steering committee members @LeighRaithby & Tina Campbell (@NITHATB306) are in Saskatoon today for the CHN TB workshop. #YesWeCanEndTB
Today:
Flying by chartered flights with a TB clinician team. Pictured below is me and our x-ray and lab tech (and portable X-ray unit)
We are both proud Indigenous Health Care providers working hard to bring services to our communities.
