Michelle Davis

Michelle has been involved in palliative care since 2002, practicing at St. Paul’s Hospital in medicine and HIV prior to working on the Palliative Care Unit. She obtained her Hospice and Palliative Care certification during that time and was a group presenter at the 2003 National Conference of Hospice Palliative Care in Quebec. Working in the community as a home care nurse and nursing internationally in Australia offered Michelle the ability to further develop her experiences while promoting palliative awareness. Michelle currently works with the Palliative Outreach and Consult Team at Mount St. Joseph Hospital, in both acute care and residential care. Having worked in Brock Fahrni and Youville residential care sites for five years, Michelle knows first-hand what is needed to provide palliative support to our elder population. Michelle focuses her efforts on increasing capacity to broaden understanding through mentoring and educating all team members with integrating a palliative approach to long term care. She is committed to ensuring that those living with a life limiting illness and their families receive quality palliative care, timely and meaningful goals of care conversations and a dignified, peaceful death.
