Staff spotlight: Denise Graham

April 8, 2026

During Canadian Public Health Week, we’re proud to recognize the dedicated professionals who help keep our communities healthy, both on the front lines and behind the scenes. 

Meet Denise Graham, public health nurse

At NL Health Services, the dedication of our staff is at the heart of everything we do, and Denise Graham is a wonderful example of that commitment.  

Originally from Rose Blanche and now living in Corner Brook, Denise plays a key role in health and disease prevention. She supports families, monitors child development, and delivers immunization programs that protect communities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Denise supported swabbing, clinics, and contact tracing. She also administered the very first COVID-19 vaccine in the Western Zone, bringing hope to her community when it was needed the most.

What keeps her going? Making a difference and hearing a simple “thank you.”

Her advice: “Look after your own health. Don’t be so busy caring for others that you forget about yourself.”
