It is with great sadness that Northumberland Hills Hospital (NHH) is flying its Canadian flag at half-mast today, May 24, in honour of a respected colleague and friend, Jessica McFayden Ferguson who passed away last week.
A devoted mother and daughter, Jessica, who was affectionally known to her clients and colleagues as ‘Jess,’ was a Case Manager and valued member of NHH’s Community Mental Health Services team since 2017.
Jess will be remembered by her colleagues for having an incredible sense of humour matched evenly by an ability to connect people through the happiness she exuded every day.
Jennifer Cox, NHH’s Vice President of Integrated Care, spoke about Jess’s impact on the organization, saying “Jessica was a force of positivity and the utmost example of teamwork. She embodied the values of respect, integrity, and compassion. Jessica found a passion working on our Community Mental Health team and caring for this underserved population. The wonderful impact of knowing Jess will be felt by all members of our Community Mental Health team and by so many individuals and their loved ones in our community.”
Deepest sympathy is extended from everyone at NHH to Jess’s parents, children and friends. Memories and condolences may be shared via the online obituary here. A celebration of life will follow at a later date.
