Sarah Choujounian - Jun 01, 2024 - Regina, Saskatchewan

Sarah Choujounian is a compassionate registered practical nurse who has been serving patients since 2004. Sarah worked primarily in nursing homes, where she developed a deep understanding of the needs of elderly residents. Her commitment to patient advocacy led her to become chief steward of her nursing home's union. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Sarah's concern for her patients' wellbeing motivated her to speak out about policies she believed were harmful. This led her to co-found Canadian Frontline Nurses, an organization dedicated to uniting nurses, educating the public, and upholding medical ethics. Sarah testifies about her experiences working in a nursing home during COVID-19 lockdowns, describing the negative impacts on residents and her efforts to speak out against policies she felt were harmful. She discusses facing professional consequences for her advocacy, including an ongoing disciplinary hearing with the College of Nurses of Ontario.
