Autumn is the time of year where we count our blessings and as October rounds the corner I am thankful to include our entire Winterberry family in my list of “people I’m grateful for”. To each and every professional who makes Winterberry the amazing place it is, thank you. And to our patients, thank you as well. It is our pleasure to help you live your best life.

Grateful to my entire team.
This is the month to show thanks (and it’s good for you!).
Did you know that being grateful and showing thanks is one way to improve your feeling of well being? Here’s a mental health tip from The Canadian Mental Health Association, “Practice gratitude. Write down three things that you are grateful for and why. Or take the time reach out to people that you love and tell them you appreciate them.”

Helping You To Know Us Better
We sat down with Munira for a Q+A
Each month we catch up to one of our almost 50 team members at Winterberry to find out more about what they do at Winterberry, how they chose their profession and so much more. This month we were so happy to find time with Munira and hope you enjoy our quick Q+A!
Munira, what is your role with Winterberry?
I am a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) at Winterberry. With 15 years of experience within the critical care and long-term care setting, it became apparent through my journey that primary care is foundational to the patient’s overall treatment plan and well-being. It was a natural transition to move onto the family care environment after attaining my FNP credentials from D’Youville University (Buffalo, USA) in 2019.
What is the best part of being an NP?
The best part of being an NP is the opportunity to make personal connections with my patients. Knowing about their overall lifestyles and motivations is integral to proposing treatment options that are suited to individual needs and circumstance . Being a nurse practitioner allows me to deliver holistic, patient centered and compassionate care. Winterberry makes it possible to spend quality time with my patients seamlessly while providing individualist care.
What interested you about being an NP? Why did you choose this career?
I always wanted to be in the medical field in order to make a direct difference in an individual’s quality of life…
