Bonnie Wood
  Member Snapshot

Bonnie Wood, MSW 
 
Nephrology Social Worker
Royal Columbian Hospital

My participation in Fraser Health’s Advance Care Planning Initiative and in the Provincial Renal Agency’s End of Life Working Group has been especially meaningful.  In my direct practice, I am privileged to hear fears and hopes, as individuals and families determine what matters most to them. I highly value mutual mentoring.  One of my priorities is professional development via BCASW Annual Conferences, Social Workers in Health presentations, and Canadian Association of Nephrology Social Workers.  I am grateful to BCASW for bringing continuing education opportunities to fruition.
