Board of Trustees

Danielle is a lawyer whose areas of practice include the preparation of Wills and Powers of Attorney, estate administration & guidance, residential and commercial real estate and commercial transactions.

The North Bay Regional Health Centre has played an important role in Danielle’s life, and she is inspired to be able to assist the Foundation in helping our hospital deliver leading edge medical care to the community.

Danielle lives in the area with her husband and young son, is an avid hockey fan and player, and enjoys spending time exploring outdoors with her family.

Born and bred in Toronto, Gail moved to North Bay in 1980. Gail and her husband bought Central Welding, Iron Works, which has remained family owned, and operated for over 40 years – Gail’s son and daughter are now at the helm.

“Several years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer and my journey with NBRHC began. A series of surgeries followed. Thankfully, the outcome was positive. I was introduced to the Foundation when I decided honour my caregivers (4 doctors and 2 nurses) with Golden Heart Awards through the Grateful Family Program. Without their care and expertise, I would not be here today.”

Gail’s philosophy is, “When someone does something nice for you, you should do something nice for them!”

In addition to serving as a Trustee, you can find Gail volunteering in the Foundation Office every Tuesday. She and her family also participate in Our Hospital Walk/Run annually and she enjoys a great day at the Osprey Links Golf Tournament as a volunteer.

In her free time, Gail keeps busy with her 5 grandchildren and enjoys cooking, crafting and playing the piano.

“It’s great to be alive!”

Heather Krajci has operated self service car washes in the community for more than 12 years.

“After being diagnosed with breast cancer, I was incredibly grateful for the care I received from the doctors and staff at NBRHC.  It inspired me to be an ambassador for our hospital while helping ensure others receive the same excellent care close to home that I received.  As a mother of two boys,  I’m passionate about ensuring our hospital is a lifeline for our community for years to come.”

Heather loves spending time outdoors, fishing, hiking, and watching her boys play hockey on the ice.

I served on the NBRHC Board for 15 years gaining perspective on how we can always continue to improve patient care.

Also, because a world class health care facility can be an important factor to attract professionals to our region and grow our city.”
