It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the tragic passing of Dr. Jennifer Oates. Dr. Oates was a well-known and highly valued geriatric psychiatry specialist in our local physician network. The sudden nature of her passing makes this loss particularly hard.
The South Island MSA has organized a gathering in remembrance of Dr. Jennifer Oates to come together as a community. All healthcare team members are welcome to join on Thursday, August 24th, between 5:30 and 6:30 pm at Victoria General Hospital in Lecture Hall S263. You can also join online here or from Royal Jubilee Hospital in PCC 150. If you’d like to read or add to Dr. Jennifer Oates’ obituary, you can do so here.
Please take care of yourself and of each other. The Greater Victoria Peer Support Program (scroll down on page) is here for you if you’d like to talk with a local colleague, and the Physician Health Program can be reached 24/7 at 1-800-663-6729 if need be.
