Ms. Campbell is currently employed as Chief of Nursing Practice, Professional Affairs at Hamilton Health Sciences Centre. During her tenure at Hamilton Health Sciences, she assumed a leadership role in the organization’s Patient-Centred Care initiative and supported the reorganization of the Nursing Practice Council and its committees.
Ms. Campbell has also held other high profile nursing positions, including Vice-President of Professional Practice and Chief Nursing Officer at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, and Director, Professional Practice at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Toronto. A nursing graduate of McGill University, Ms. Campbell received her Masters of Science from Boston University’s School of Nursing with an emphasis on Clinical Nurse Specialist, Rehabilitation.
