For Dr. Jane Simanovski, becoming a nurse practitioner meant more than advancing her career.  

It meant taking a greater role in the decisions that shape patient care. 

A four-time University of Windsor graduate and now a professor in the Faculty of Nursing, Simanovski began that journey while working as a critical care registered nurse in the Cardiac ICU at Henry Ford Hospital.
