Janitor – Brenda Jasper

I have been a provider of health services to First Nations communities for the past almost 12 years. I have been a part of the project team for the achievement of the Health Transfer Agreements for most of that time. I have contributed to the ongoing development of Community Heath programs and services. Currently I provide Community Health Nursing services to the residents of Soowahlie Indian Band and its partner community.

My strengths are in love and respect for the people and in program development. A special interest I have is attached to Home and Community Care Services including Diabetes and Asthma self-management.
