Nurses
receive 'coaching' award

"We
see this initiative as critical to our vision of developing
shared leadership in nursing," says Mary Ferguson-Pare,
Vice- President of Nursing Services at
Baycrest.
For the past year, Baycrest
nurses who hold management positions have been learning coaching
and mentoring skills from Goldgrab Leadership Coaching so
they can be more effective communicators and
team builders with nurses who report to them.
Baycrest
Center for Geriatric
Care is an internationally
Renowned geriatric health centre
offering a full range of pro-
grams and services to enrich the
lives of the elderly. An academ-
ic centre affiliated with the
University of Toronto, Baycrest
is active in research, most
notably in the study of the
impact of aging on the brain.
