Park Place’s Sharon Cook to Moderate Key Climate Change Preparedness Panel

We are proud to share that Sharon Cook, Chief Nursing Officer and Vice President of Quality Assurance at Park Place Seniors Living, has been selected to moderate an upcoming Care to Chat session hosted by the BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA).
