Teaching Excellence Award

Veronica Reimer, a Midwife with the Southern Health-Santé Sud Midwifery program received a Teaching Excellence award at the pinning ceremony for the University of Manitoba midwifery graduates. The recipient of this award was chosen by the graduating class of midwifery students. The students commented that “She is not only a wonderful, caring midwife but also dedicated to furthering the profession by investing her time and energy into students. She is made to mentor people.”

One of the students Veronica mentored, Laura Warkentine, was valedictorian of this year’s University of Manitoba midwifery graduating class. She recently joined the Midwifery team in Steinbach as a Registered Midwife.
Congratulations to both Veronica and Laura. We are fortunate to have them both a part of a skilled group of Midwives serving this region.
