Saving lives and salvaging hope

NP and RNAO member Joanna Binch is tenacious and undeterred by barriers that others may find daunting. For more than a decade, she has laid the groundwork to not only help, but also respect and honour her clients in an area of Ottawa that has more rooming houses than any other part of the city. Her compassion and commitment to some of the city’s most vulnerable residents is showcased in a poignant and heartbreaking CBC documentary called Blue Roses, a raw and honest look at what it’s like to feel forgotten by the health system.
