Sue Beckermann, who was the Administrator for Northern Health in Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlotte islands for a number of years in the last decade has passed away. The well known member of the Northern Health administration team, had provided a large impact in the community both at work and with her activities away from the hospital.
Ms. Beckermann who was born in 1948, retired from Northern Health in December of 2008, her time in Prince Rupert and the North Coast put her in charge of health delivery services in the region during some challenging years. During her time with Northern Health there were a number of changes to take place in health care across the region, including a redefinition of roles and staffing at the Prince Rupert Regional Hospital, the evolution of delivery of services to Haida Gwaii, as well as her participation in the planning phase for the new Acropolis Manor.
She had brought a wide and varied resume to Northern Health, with training and career paths that stretched from Australia to Quebec and on to the North coast.
Her passing was noted in an obituary notice posted to the Globe and Mail's Globe Life section on Tuesday. It traced a good portion of her professional career in nursing and administration leading up to her passing on December 19th.
She was also an active member in the New Westminster-Royal City Rotary Club, featured as a director of that organization, they provided a note of her passing on their website as well as part of a farewell.
