Health Care Provider Spotlight:
Meranda Termaat, Physiotherapist with St. Joseph’s Care Group
|
|
Originally from Niagara Falls, Meranda earned her undergrad in Kinesiology from Brock University and went on to pursue a Masters of Physiotherapy with McMaster University. She discovered Thunder Bay through a placement she did as part of her masters program, where she experienced a breadth of practice, allowing her to see neurological clients go through the system from acute care all the way to self-management and community programs. During this 12-week stint, Meranda relished in the lifestyle afforded by a smaller city surrounded by nature and found a vibrant and supportive community of people. With a keen interest in neurological rehabilitation, she knew by the end of her placement that a position with St. Joseph’s Care Group was where she wanted to go with her career and relocated to Thunder Bay in the fall of 2016.
For Meranda, practicing in a hospital setting versus independently was a clear choice.
“Having a job at a hospital lets me work closely with patients without having to run a business,” she tells. “In private practice, you have to be an entrepreneur as well as a physiotherapist, and I am more interested in working with patients than I am in being a business person.”
Year round access to the great outdoors and world-class sport facilities played a part in attracting Meranda to Thunder Bay. She is an athlete and avid outdoorsperson whose hobbies include
mountain biking at Shuniah Mines, rock and ice climbing with the
Alpine Club of Canada, and downhill skiing. She is a member of the Thunder Bay Thunder Rays (swim team) and is currently learning to cross-country ski.
“The city is full of dedicated, involved, and community-focused people who want to share their passions with others. As someone who loves variety and trying new things, I've really embraced the lifestyle and sense of community here.”
