Rona Simsuangco

HEALTH CARE ASSISTANT PROGRAM (HCA)

Rona was a practicing Midwife in the Philippines before immigrating to Canada in 1998. Here she has been a LPN since 2007 working in Acute care in hospital settings, and as a Client Services Supervisor for one of the largest Home Support agencies in BC.

In addition to classroom and clinical instruction, Rona is also a key contributor to the development of Drake Medox College’s Health Care Assistant Program curriculum.

Rona believes that everyone in the classroom is equal, and that learning is a continuous process that is enhanced by the collective experience of both the instructor and the students. She invites her students to share and learn from each other in pursuit of becoming the best HCAs possible!

Success Story

Since completing the Health Care Assistant training course at Drake Medox College, I have gained the necessary knowledge, training, skills and confidence to work effectively with the elderly, children and people with developmental disabilities. I believe this course has helped pave the way for greater job opportunities and I since successfully been hired both as a live-in Manager and as a Life Skill Worker. Thank you so much Drake Medox College.
