#MyBestMoments - Grace Fadera, Admitting Clerk

In our #MyBestMoments campaign staff and physicians from across our organization share the moments that have mattered most to them in their careers at Lakeridge Health. Read Grace’s story below. 

I began my career at Lakeridge Health in 2009 after my husband and I purchased our first home in Ajax. I had my sights set on working at Lakeridge Health so I applied to various clerical positions within the organization in hopes of hearing back. One day, I got a surprise call offering me an interview. The interview went really well and was followed by a series of medical office administration testing, which then led to a job offer, and the rest was history.

Throughout my 15 years at Lakeridge Health, I’ve worked in various departments such as the Admitting Department, Diagnostic Imaging, as well as the Emergency Department. One of my favourite things about my role is that I get to meet people from all different walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures. I enjoy connecting with patients and trying my best to put smiles on their faces, especially when they may be going through challenging times.

Lakeridge Health is a wonderful place to work for many reasons. The work-life balance, opportunities for career advancement, job security, diversity within the organization, and friendly colleagues are just a few of my favourite things about working here at Lakeridge Health. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to work close to home and serve my community for the past 15 years.
