About Helen Baszucki
Becoming a nurse was a lifelong dream for Helen Baszucki, fulfilled when she completed a four-year, in-residence training program at Holy Family Hospital in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. Helen brought diligence, caring, empathy, and kindness to her work, and then passed those traits on to others as a clinical nursing instructor.
Helen eventually focused mainly on raising four children with Paul Baszucki, her husband of 59 years. Still, her training and experience informed much of her approach to life, and her love and respect for the profession continued until her death in September 2020.
To honor Helen’s life and work, Paul Baszucki, provided a generous gift to Montage Health Foundation to establish the Helen Baszucki Center for Nursing Excellence. "It reflects Helen, her life, her interests, and it’s something she would
have loved," Paul says.
