HEU’s Nursing Team

HEU’s nursing team is the heart of health care. It includes LPNs and care aides – along with recreation and activity aides – and in a growing number of facilities, HEU also represents RNs.

At HEU, it’s understood that every member of the patient care team has a critical role in meeting the needs of British Columbians. We know that team work is essential on the nursing unit and throughout our health care facilities.

HEU Nursing Team Committee members are: Margie Anderson, Jacqueline Zilkie, Allen Kuffert, Debera Willis, Sylvia Neden, Patricia Crown and Tracey Augustine, plus HEU staff advisor Marcy Cohen.
