Hospice Renfrew has continued their push to improve palliative care for people across Renfrew County with their latest hire.
The hospice has announced the addition of Resident and Family Councilor Christine Zimmerling to their team, as she brings over 25 years of experience in the areas of healthcare, long-term care, mental health, and grief, loss, and palliative care to their team.
Born and raised in the Renfrew-Arnprior area, her accreditation includes a Social Service Worker diploma, a bachelor’s degree in human services, a Master of Social Work degree, and a certificate in Death, Dying, and Bereavement from Wilfrid Laurier University.
A statement from the hospice notes that Zimmerling “values the privilege of supporting her fellow community members as well as building community capacity, supporting for a range of grief and loss experiences.”
