Barb has served on the board since 2007, most recently as Vice Chair and Chair of the Governance and Nominating Committee. CCNM’s board of governors consists of naturopathic doctors and laypersons from a variety of disciplines who are elected by members. The board’s mandate is to govern the CCNM with a strategic perspective through effective policy governance and assurance of executive performance that allows the vision and ends of the organization to be achieved with excellence.

The CCNM is Canada’s premier institute for education and research in naturopathic medicine. It offers a rigorous four-year, full-time Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine program. The College educates, develops and trains naturopathic doctors through excellence in health education, clinical services and research that integrate mind, body and spirit.

Deborah was given this award because she created a comfortable and rich learning environment for the clinical practice experience and offered endless opportunities for learning while playing an active role in the exchange of ideas and experiences.

Dalhousie mentioned that they are most appreciative of the commitment to clinical education that the professionals at pt Health have towards their students.

Way to go Deborah!

The University of Toronto Alumni Association recognizes students who go the distance to improve the University of Toronto, their local communities and the world by honoring them with Cressy Awards. James received his award at the Awards Presentation Ceremony on March 27, 2012.

Congrats Darryl!

Way to go team Springbank!

It was midway through the 42-kilometre marathon that Paula realized she had a chance to win. “I switched gears, so to speak,” she said.

Wiltse pulled away from a pack of leaders, and when she looked behind, “no one came with me and I knew if I didn’t hit a wall that I had a shot.” The Brockville, Ont., native won the women’s open marathon in 2:51.57.5!!

To prepare for the challenging distance, Paula increased her training from 90 kilometres to 130 kilometres of running per week. Paula competes in 10 to 12 long-distance races per year, but this was her first marathon in six years.

Congratulations Paula!

On Saturday, June 2, 2012, another fun filled event brought attention to below the belly button cancers including prostate, colorectal, ovarian, testicular, bladder, cervical, and uterine  this month with the Calgary Underwear Affair.

pt Health participants donned their drawers as they raised $3,000 in donations by either walking or running the 5K and 10K races, and a total of 1,285 people raised $803,000 overall for the Alberta Cancer Foundation.   Organized by pt Health’s Vivian Overton, our group gladly brought attention to the cause wearing none other than pt Health tank tops.
