It’s National Nursing Week and today we’re highlighting the next generation of nurses helping shape the future of health care in southeastern Ontario.
Meet Emily John — a nurse at KHSC and a recipient of the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant. Through the program, Emily was able to pursue her nursing education at Queen's University while committing to build her career right here in the community she now serves every day.
Programs like the Ontario Learn and Stay Grant are helping strengthen the future of health care by supporting students by reducing financial barriers by covering the cost of things like tuition and books, and encouraging more nurses to train and stay in the regions that need them most.
At KHSC, we see firsthand the difference nurses like Emily make for patients, families, and communities across our region.

Diane Smith-Merrill’s life changed in a moment. After arriving in the Emergency Department following a heart attack, her condition quickly worsened when her heart valve ruptured.
As blood leaked into her lungs, she became far too weak to survive open-heart surgery. Every moment counted as her life hung in the balance.
That’s when a dream team—cardiac surgeon Dr. Carolyn Teng and interventional cardiologist Dr. Wael Abuzeid—stepped in with a bold, innovative solution.
Quickly, a team of cardiac experts was pulled together to perform KHSC’s first-ever emergency mitral clip repair, guiding a tiny clip through a vein in Diane’s leg and into her heart to stop the leak.
Within minutes, her body began to recover. “One moment I was near death; within half an hour, I was alive again,” Diane says. Today, she’s back home, back to work, and walking up to 3 kilometers every day.
This milestone isn’t just about one procedure—it’s proof of what’s possible at KHSC. Our cardiac program is a flagship service for the entire region and among the most advanced in Ontario, caring for patients from across southeastern Ontario with innovation, skill, and compassion.
Diane is alive and thriving today because of the extraordinary people who make up KHSC’s cardiac team and the innovative approaches to care that take place every day at #myKHSC.
