For 24 years, Cindy Mackenzie has been part of the Northwood team, supporting residents as a Continuing Care Assistant. After deciding to make a career change, Cindy was drawn to the welcoming environment she found at Northwood. More than two decades later, it's still the people who keep her here.

We're wrapping up National Volunteer Week (April 19–25) where we celebrated the people who give their time, compassion, and care to others, and at Northwood, that impact is felt in the moments that matter most.

These small moments have a lasting impact!
