At IWK Health Centre, we put a lot of effort and resources into ensuring that our staff members are able to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle and work/life balance. How do you ensure you are refreshed outside of work?

"Overall, my life really does revolve around physical activity. Not being the type of person or family that sits on the couch and watches TV, I train for 10k and half marathon running events and work out on a regular basis. When not running, my family and I spend a lot of time outdoors hiking, biking and kayaking all around the region. Of course, winter activities are important as well so we like to cross country ski and snowshoe when we can. This type of lifestyle benefits me both personally with great health and professionally as well with my ability to easily stand on my feet all day through 12 hour shifts."
