OUr Executive Team
Lisa Ng
Co-President
The Raising Hopes Student Initiative was a perfect fit for me because I am a huge advocate for spreading kindness and positivity—which I get to do for our local healthcare facilities by being a part of this group. I joined this club to show appreciation for our wonderful healthcare workers and to create a better patient experience in our ER Departments. I am super excited to continue our partnership with Misericordia Hospital and branch Raising Hopes out to long-term care centres!
Luv Modi
Co-President
As a Nursing Ambassador volunteer at the Misericordia Hospital, I have had the privilege to collaborate with healthcare professionals to support patient care and hold empathetic conversations with patients going through difficult times. With the pandemic unleashing tremendous strain on the healthcare system, I sensed the need to shed light on topics affecting the healthcare system on campus, so I joined RHSI as an executive in May 2022.
