Kym Logan
After working in acute care in the hospital setting for 7 years, I moved back to Chatham-Kent and pursued a career in Public Health. Instead of helping people to manage their existing health conditions, I wanted to help prevent them from becoming ill in the first place. I am looking forward to supporting our school communities in their efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of students and staff.

Brett Goudreau
As a PHN, I strive to deliver high quality care for all my clients. I am an immunization expert and am always attempting to achieve the highest possible coverage rates for Grade 7 immunizations, while reducing the number of school suspensions due to overdue immunizations. The relationships I have with the students and staff within my schools is great. I really enjoy the client interactions at school-based immunization clinics; it is the best part of my job. I look forward to continuing to build our connections and working with students this upcoming school year to achieve their health goals.
