Growing up in Flin Flon, Barb knows the challenges of accessing medical care in rural areas. She is happy to be part of a clinic that offers everything the big cities offer and more when it comes to sleep apnea products and services. Barb enjoys being part of a team that works well together, has fun and makes coming to work not seem like work at all.

In 2008, after spending 18 years in southern Ontario, Barb and her husband decided to relocate back to the prairies to be closer to family.

Her husband’s family farm is near Dauphin and many happy times are spent there. Trips back to Flin Flon are made a few times a year to visit family, friends, and fishing.

Barb completed her polysomnography technician (PSGT) course in 2008 through the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). And worked as a sleep technician with Tracey from 2008 to 2012. Barb was happy to join Tracey in 2017 when Parkland CPAP was opened.

Leanne grew up on a dairy farm in rural Saskatchewan, so knows how busy harvest time can get. Therefore, she has knowledge of the need to have easy access to health care for rural Saskatchewan people. She has lived in Yorkton since 1993 and is married with two children.

Chester is a Havanese breed and our therapy dog in training. He was born May 27, 2019 and started working at Parkland CPAP Services at the end of August when he was only 3 months old. Chester has fur instead of hair so really does not shed. Originally the breed was intended for show dogs, and if let to grow, his fur would reach the floor. We like him fluffy, but we do not let it get too long because he loves to run and play and explore on his long walks.

Chester gets at least one but usually two long walks a day, he gets played with daily and bathed every Sunday and since he comes to work every day, he is never alone, so lives a pretty awesome life for a dog. He enjoys meeting new people and, if not napping, will likely greet you when you arrive at the office.

Chester also loves treats – A LOT – and we have his healthy treats here, so if you like dogs, we can give you some treats, and you can ask him to sit or lay down or shake a paw and he will; he will gladly sit nice if it means a treat. Chester’s favorite time of the day is lunch time, and he seems to know exactly when it is lunch time (and quitting time – this is when he gets a nice long walk in the park).

Vassi was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. After graduating high school, she moved away from home and settled in a tiny town called Climax. Vassi has always adored helping people, ranging from automotives to daycares and now healthcare. Vassi takes time to be personable and loves interacting with people.

‍

Having lived in a city, she never quite understood the struggles of rural healthcare. Now, after listening to people speak of the troubles, she takes pride in building a community within the clinic, focusing on quality care and a welcoming experience.

‍

When Vassi is not in the office, you can find her dancing her heart out in the warmth of her home or screaming the lyrics to her favorite songs in the car on her way to get a poutine.

Vassi has always had a love for the medical field and she cannot wait to expand her knowledge in sleep apnea and CPAP services. She is especially excited to provide quality services to those in the area.
