Beautiful inside and out, Savona is an advocate for the unseen and unheard. Coming to Canada from Guyana with her family, she faced many challenges as a new immigrant. She attributes her strength and determination to her mother who taught her the meaning of perseverance.  A nurse by profession, Savona sees not only the overwhelming need of so many, but also the shortfall of the system. Her passion lies in caring for those who are home bound as well as those in palliative care. Her heart goes out to the families of those patients who also need support.  A pivotal moment for Savona was when a young patient ended her life. It brought to light the limitations in our system that is not equipped to manage this crisis. Although “Durham Manor” will provide spa related services, Savona will extend offerings to focus more or wellness and mental health.
