Vernissage Health is delighted to share that one of our mentors in the Early Career Health Leaders Program, Kaiyan Fu, was recently honoured by the Canadian College of Health Leaders as recipient of 2023 Nursing Leadership Award. The CCHL Nursing Leadership Award builds on the themes of patient centered care and leadership, and honours those health leaders who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to excellence in these areas. Kaiyan is currently serving as the Vice-President, Senior’s Health, and Chief Clinical Executive at SE Health. Through her participative leadership approach, she is transforming SE Health’s organizational culture towards a nurse-led, empowered model to optimize nursing practice, and continuity of care. She also sits on the Board of Governor’s at North York General Hospital and volunteers her time to mentor in the Vernissage Health Early Career Health Leaders Program (ECHL) where she imparts her philosophy of "learning how to fish" for sustained success in leadership.
Kaiyan and six other experienced health leaders serve as mentors in the Early Career Health Leaders Program. Mentors are great leaders themselves and assist early career health leaders deepen and refine their leadership practice after completing graduate studies and entering the health field in leadership roles.
