National nod to top nurse in Horse Lake

One of three awards in excellence in nursing goes to Susan Jewitt, the nurse in charge for almost four years at the Horse Lake First Nation Health Centre. The award celebrates the dedication, initiative and excellence of nurses employed by First Nations communities, Health Canada or Inuit communities. It is presented each year during National Nursing Week. The nurses are nominated for the awards by their peers. Jewitt has successfully introduced a number of health programs in Horse Lake. Her passions are prenatal education and women's health issues. She is currently working towards an MA.
