Jacklyn (soon to be Arruda!) Appleby has come full circle at the hospital- she was born at the Brantford General Hospital and is now one of their newest recruiters! Jacklyn started her career as a Personal Support Worker, which gave her great experience as she continued her education, earning a degree in Health Administration from Laurier and a Post-Grad in Community and Social Service Management. Jacklyn transitioned from PSW to Scheduling manager to Recruiter, and has spent the  past 8 years in various settings such as LTC, retirement, community programs, and now the BCHS starting in January 2022.
