Carolyn Mack (nee Helwig) had been a
Team Leader of the inpatient medical and surgical units as well as
Clinical Supervisor at Southampton Hospital. The opportunity for
education and training through a fund in Carolyn's honour has been
enthusiastically welcomed by the nursing team. Carolyn’s career
demonstrates that a nursing education fund in Carolyn's name is
a wonderful tribute to her memory. A huge, heartfelt thank you to our Community for supporting the Carolyn Fund and creating special educational opportunities for our Southampton Nurses! Thank you for helping to keep healthcare close to home! For inquiries or donations to the Carolyn Fund, contact, Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation.
