Alexandre’s journey at Osler began during his nursing school years, when he undertook his second-year clinical placement.

When I need help, there's always a colleague ready to step in. That support is always there.” Alexandre's commitment to Osler's Etobicoke General for 14 years is rooted in the profound support and camaraderie he shares with his team.
Nurturing the future of nursing
Recognizing the importance of fostering a collaborative and supportive atmosphere, Alexandre diligently shares his expertise with the upcoming generation of nurses through Osler’s mentorship opportunities.
