I have been a part-time secretary at Partners in Pregnancy Clinic since January 2009. Before then I had a broad range of duties in an addictions treatment clinic. At PIPC I will be taking and directing your telephone calls. At the front desk or over the 

phone I can answer general questions about the clinic and 

book your appointments with one of the doctors or the 

members of the allied support staff. 

My other duties include scanning, faxing, copying and booking other 

appointments on behalf of the patients such as ultrasounds. I am enjoying 

the change in scenery at PIPC. I like that all the staff is there to help every 

patient and their family have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Janet is one of the first welcoming faces you’ll meet when you arrive at PIPC. As a mother of two, she personally received her prenatal care here, giving her a warm understanding of the journey our patients are on. Her calm, pleasant demeanor helps set a reassuring tone from the moment you walk through the door.

Before joining our team, Janet worked as a Hearing Instrument Specialist, where she developed strong communication and patient-care skills that she brings into her role every day. Outside of work, she loves to bake and often brings in homemade cookies for the staff to enjoy.

Hi, my name is Megan and I am the Clinic Coordinator and Registered Dietitian at PIPC. I am from Peterborough and have grown up loving this community. I graduated the University of Guelph in 2022 with a Human Nutrition Degree. I then completed a Master of Health Science in Nutrition Communication at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). 

I have always been interested in women's health and am so excited to learn more as I work with the PIPC team and patients.  

​

As a dietitian, I understand that food can be sensitive and personal. I am committed to providing care without judgment or shame, from a weight-neutral approach, as health includes many factors that are out of one’s control. 

​

As the clinic coordinator, I am dedicated to contributing to an inclusive and safe environment. I am passionate about building connections with our patients, staff, and community members to further enhance the care our clinic provides.  

I graduated from the University of Ottawa in 2002 and began my nursing career in Women's Health at the Ottawa Hospital. There, I gained knowledge and experience caring for high-risk antepartum, postpartum and gynecological patients. Over the last year (2013-14) I have done extensive studying and extra clinical practice to enable me to qualify as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, (IBCLC). I am excited to be able to use this additional knowledge with the families at PIPC!

After graduating from the University of Ottawa with a Bachelor of Arts (Conc. Visual Arts) in 2005, I decided to switch gears and moved to Calgary to pursue a degree in nursing. I graduated from the Bachelor of Nursing (Accelerated Track) Nursing program in 2008 and immediately began a career caring for Mums & Babies. I have worked in multiple hospitals over the years as a Labour & Delivery/Antenatal nurse, both in high and low risk centres, including Calgary’s Foothills, Peter Lougheed, and Rockyview Hospitals, Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital and Peterborough’s own PRHC. I have also worked as a Perinatal Nurse for the Calgary Maternal Fetal Medicine clinic, and am a Certified Perinatal Nurse through the Canadian Nurses Association. I feel so privileged to be able to support women and families as they bring their babies into the world, and all of my nursing experience has afforded me the opportunity to join the incredible team at PIPC, where I have been since 2014.

Hi! I’m Laura Griffin, a Registered Nurse with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Trent University. I was born and raised in Peterborough and began my nursing career in Surgery and Intensive Care. I later transitioned to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, where I value the opportunity to support infants and their families during such an important and often challenging time.

I am excited to join PIPC and support families through pregnancy and postpartum. The dynamic team here is always seeking innovative ways to care for our diverse population.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my three children and our family dog.

I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Sociology at Trent University. When I finished at Trent, I moved to Toronto to complete my Masters in Social Work at the University of Toronto. It was while completing a placement at St. Michael’s Women’s Health Care Centre that I discovered my passion for working with women especially during the prenatal and postpartum periods. After finishing my degree at U of T, I returned to Peterborough and began to work in child welfare. Following this experience, I worked as a Social Worker at the PVNC Catholic School Board and briefly as a counsellor at Fleming College. When the Partners in Pregnancy Clinic posted a Social Work position, I knew it would be my dream job. I’ve been working here since it opened in July 2008 and love 

working with this team in such an exciting work setting.

In 2005, I graduated from McMaster University where I completed my undergraduate degree in Sociology and Gerontology and went on to complete my Bachelor of Social Work. After finishing my degree from McMaster University I moved back to my home town of Peterborough and started my career in Child Welfare.  Following this experience I worked as a Social Worker for 7 years with the PVNC Catholic District School Board. 

During this time I also volunteered at Hospice Peterborough co facilitating the children's grief support groups.  I am a Registered Social Worker and I am so happy to be a part of this collaborative support team and look forward to the opportunity to work with you.
