Beverly's Story

Life I live on an acreage in Kelowna with my 3 dogs. After grad. from Auburn I took nursing (2 years WWC and 2 at Glendale Adv. Hosp.). Married had two children, worked in California 13 years. Moved to Kelowna, B.C. in 1982 with my two children and started work at Kelowna Hospital where I worked in Admin. for 20 years. Spent the next two years in Cranbrook, B.C. as Acute Care Director for the East Kootenay Health Service Area. Returned to Kelowna as Project Manager with Interior Health Services and BC Ambulance to address the Critical Care Transport needs of rural/remote B.C. We were granted a full year of funding for our Critical Care Transport Team and recognized by Health Canada as one of 3 "innovative partnership" programs that was profiled at their 2004 summit conference. At the completion of that I decided it was time to 'retire' and spend more time on my 'electronic commerce' business. It is interesting and exciting so that has turned out to be a great decision!! (If you like saving time and money and enjoying improved health while doing it.. send me a note.) Both children (attended OKAA) and are happily married. Christina (Hazzard) Watkinson lives in Mission, BC where she does freelance photography as well as hospital dietary, and her husband is Assist. Fire Chief. My son, Troy, and wife Michelle live in Kelowna with their two young daughters, Jaia and Shae and their son Tarik. My main passion (apart from my children, grandchildren and my dogs) is sailing with Tall Ships in the Caribbean. I also keep very busy with my "Elder" responsibilities at our local SDA church. Beverly Druitt Hazzard School Did some kindergarten while living in Jamaica and then England. First 2 years of grade school were in Worthington, Ohio Grades 3-11 completed at Okanagan (Adventist) Academy (the old building on Hwy 33) -...Expand for more
some good memories!! Kelowna, BC. Final year of High School at Auburn (Adv.) Academy, Washington. College 2 great years at WWC - lived in Conard with Diana Chappell, then Helen Ogren and Kay Johnson. Dated Sid Kettner those 2 years. Transferred to Glendale Adv. Hosp. School of Nursing where I graduated in 1967. Workplace First employment following grad was as a nurse on Labour and Delivery at Glendale San. and Hosp. - California. Left Calif. in '68 - my father died, I got married and traveled with my husband (Cecil Hazzard) for next 10 months. Returned to Calif. and worked in an Orthopedic office and then Downey Community Hospital (worked all areas, 6 years as Hosp. supervisor and last 4.5 years as Emergency Dept. Superv.). Wonderful time!! Left there in 1982 and moved to Kelowna, BC with my two children and a job as Emergency Head Nurse. Stayed with Kelowna General Hospital for 20 years in various Nursing Admin. positions, the last being Manager for Maternity services. Spent the next two years as Acute Care and Professional Practice Director for the East Kootenay Health Service Area of Interior Health Authority. Returned to Kelowna on Sept. 1, '04 to take on a special project with Interior Health and BC Ambulance Service to strategize the development of a Critical Care Transport Service for rural/remote areas of the province. Am now retired and wondering how I ever had time to be "employed"! My time is spent caring for my 6 acres, looking after my grandchildren, serving OKAA as Vice Chair for the school Board, various church activities as a Head Elder, sharing the health benefits of proper diet combined with the necessary (Nutrilite) nutritional supplements, as well as miscellaneous travel and going on Mission Trips. My most recent - an Evangelistic series on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines.
