Ann MacLeod is a dedicated nurse practitioner with a wealth of experience spanning across Canada, New Zealand, and the U.S. Her journey in nursing has taken her through diverse settings, from hospitals to community-based initiatives, both in urban hubs and rural landscapes. With a background primarily in pediatrics and public health, Ann's career has evolved to focus on community health promotion, primary care research, and teaching.

Since settling in Peterborough in 2000, Ann has been an integral part of the Trent Fleming School of Nursing, where she has imparted her knowledge through clinical and theoretical courses. Her teachings emphasize the care of older adults, community health, and primary care, reflecting her deep commitment to serving this demographic.

Beyond the classroom, Ann's impact resonates in her extensive involvement with various community projects and organizations. She and her students have contributed to initiatives such as Age-friendly Peterborough, the YES shelter, and Indigenous cultural awareness programs for healthcare providers. Her research delves into qualitative community-based approaches, exploring the nexus between health professionals, volunteers, and families in enhancing the well-being of older adults.

Ann's dedication extends beyond professional realms; she is deeply engaged in community capacity building and advocacy for health equity. Serving on numerous boards, including the 360 Nurse Practitioner Led Clinic, and advisory boards for Central East Home and Community Care Support Services and Seniors Care Network, she consistently champions the needs of the most vulnerable. Her volunteer work with Government Assisted Refugees showcases her commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity.

Locally, Ann is known as the nurturing force behind the Teacher's College neighborhood. As a community builder of the street, she fosters a sense of community through annual gatherings and neighborhood activities, enhancing both mental well-being and safety. Her approachable nature and genuine concern for others make her a trusted advisor during times of transition and difficulty.

In essence, Ann MacLeod embodies the essence of nursing excellence, blending academic prowess with compassionate care and social responsibility.

It’s hard to believe 2016 was 10 years ago! 🕰️

So much has changed in the last decade and yet, so much has stayed the same. Ten years ago, we were celebrating a major milestone: 75 years of serving Peterborough & County. We were raising funds through fun community events, supporting ongoing initiatives like Backpacks for Success, hitting big team milestones, and making headlines alongside media partners who continue to uplift our work.

Now, as we celebrate 85 years, the most important thing remains the same, we’re still here building community and changing lives for people across the City of Peterborough. 💙
⏳ The countdown is ON! 

Our emcee, @ellabates.joyatwork is getting ready for an unforgettable night of live music in support of our community.

Did you know❓
The third Monday in January is widely known as Blue Monday, the saddest day of the year.

The holiday season has passed us by, daylight is fleeting, nights are cold, and the weather is chilly. It’s no wonder some of us are feeling low, but it’s important to know you are not alone 🤍
