    Efforts of hardworking PSW celebrated

    A Personal Support Worker at a long-term care home in Gananoque is gaining attention for her hard work and quiet resolve.

    Speaking from Carveth Care Centre, a long-term care home and retirement lodge in Gananoque, Katelyn Lozo talks about her work for the past 13 years as a front-line health care worker.

    “I like it,” says the 32-year-old Tincap woman at the end of a night shift in early July 2024. “I like working with the residents. You never know what they’re going to say.”

    Katelyn is one of many staff who helped the home weather the storm of the COVID-19 pandemic which started in March 2020.

    “It was difficult at the beginning, but it got better after we got used to the rules and restrictions,” she explains.

    Known for her helpful nature, Katelyn is being profiled by the popular home to thank her for her good work.

    “Katelyn is a great communicator and advocate for all residents,” says Lisa Smith, Care Coordinator at the home.

    Asked to describe herself, Katelyn says she is quiet and has a good sense of humour. When she’s not at work, she likes to garden, read, listen to country music around a bonfire and enjoy time with family and friends. She is the proud owner of a dog named Finley and a cat named Allister.

    Nursing scholarship awarded to graduate of Bayridge Secondary School

    A high school graduate from Kingston is the recipient of a nursing scholarship by a local health care company.

    Speaking from her home in Kingston, Gracie Locke smiles as she talks about receiving the Gibson Family Health Care Nursing Scholarship at her graduation from Bayridge Secondary School last month.

    “I have always had a strong passion for helping people,” says the teenager about her desire to become a nurse. “My family is full of people working in health care. I love that nursing is a lifelong learning opportunity where the field is constantly evolving and offering new learning opportunities. Whether it be the influence of family, drive to help others, or eagerness to learn, that is why I want to become a nurse.”

    The Gibson Family Health Care Nursing Scholarship is a $2,000 education bursary presented annually through the Gibson Family Health Care Charitable Foundation. It is awarded to a local high school graduate who is entering a nursing program (Registered Nurse or Registered Practical Nurse) at the university or community college level. To qualify for the award, recipients must have a grade average of 65 or higher. Gibson Family Health Care is the parent company of Helen Henderson Care Centre in Amherstview and Carveth Care Centre in Gananoque. The recipient was selected by residents and staff at Helen Henderson Care Centre, a popular retirement lodge and long-term care home in Amherstview. This is the first time the scholarship has been made available to Kingston area students.
