 | Anne Marie Sparks - I work as the Operational Specialist with the Paediatric Family Resource Centre here at Children’s Hospital. I am passionate about improving our hospital for Patients and Families. I am a parent to four wonderful children, three of whom have mental health diagnoses. I’ve seen the healing impact nature can have on my own mental health and am proud to be part of Nature For Healing. |
 | Kawmadi Abeytunge - I'm a Pediatrics resident at Western University with a strong interest in environmental health and health equity. Connecting with nature has been an integral part of my own wellness and I have seen the benefits that time with nature has for patients. I am thrilled to be working with CHEHC and helping develop the Prescriptions for Nature program at Children’s Hospital. |
 | Chris Kinchlea is an LHSC patient partner, fundraiser, speaker, and rare disease advocate. Holistic care for patients and families that includes and contributes to mental and socio-emotional wellness became very important to Chris as a caregiver of her young child during his time in and out of hospital. Nature for Healing is a program she immediately jumped at a chance to be involved in, because of the positive effect nature has had in her own mental wellness while managing her child's ongoing chronic illness. Chris holds strong beliefs about spirituality in nature and our human connection with the world around us. |
 | Nicole Turner is a manager in the Office of Inclusion & Social Accountability. Her portfolio addresses equity concerns related to accessibility and those impacting paediatric patients, their families, and the incredible staff/physicians/affiliates who care for them. As a Registered Social Worker, Nicole passionately believes that planetary health strongly correlates with that of the people living on it. Additionally, she has first-hand experience in seeing just how much healing power nature holds, as she used to go outside for walks with patients in her previous roles and often witnessed significant changes in mood as a result. On a personal note, Nicole happens to live with a physical disability. This inspires her to consistently work to discover new ways of ensuring everyone can access the benefits of "the great outdoors", even if it is from their hospital bed. In short, she is excited to combine her passions for the environment, helping people, and advancing equity through this new initiative! |
