The Dialysis Unit at Boundary Trails Health Centre continues to shine through its dedication to patient care and strong team spirit. Nurses regularly attend the CANNT conference, bringing back fresh ideas that enhance practice and outcomes.

A Culture of Support and Collaboration

What truly sets this unit apart is its culture. Staff share meals, swap shifts, and support one another—creating a welcoming and positive work environment. This camaraderie has led to a rare achievement: zero vacancies for years.

“I do think we have an exceptional dialysis team here.”

“It says something about a unit when staff are happy to come to work and willing to pick up vacant shifts to help each other out.”
— Tanya Blatz, Clinical Resource Nurse

Experience and Mentorship
