Miriam Freymond Turnbull graduated from the Toronto Institute of Medical Technology, now the Michener Institute of Education at UHN, in 1981. Her career started in the acute care setting, where she worked in both tertiary and community hospitals gaining clinical experience with all ages from the neonate to the elderly. After 10 years of learning and building an extensive clinical experience base, she transitioned to community care where she worked as a clinician for a short time before accepting the challenges of a progressive career in leadership with ProResp.  She completed her MBA at Wilfrid Laurier University in 1999, complementing her clinical knowledge with business acumen. Miriam actively leads ProResp’s operations in successful formal and informal partnerships within Ontario’s health system – with Hospitals, long term & retirement care, hospice/palliative care, the broad community care team, and most recently the evolution of Ontario Health Teams. Miriam has a passion for our profession and for making a meaningful difference in the respiratory health of Ontarians.
