Jessica Vlasak, RN

Meet Jessica Vlasak

Jessica became a registered nurse after completing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at McMaster University in 2009. She started her nursing career in Pediatric oncology. Shortly after, she met the love of her life and moved to Germany. After a year, she and her now husband moved to Hamilton to lay down roots. They have since resided in Hamilton, getting acquainted with and exploring its colour and diversity.

Jessica has always viewed nursing as a vital and profound profession centered in therapeutic connection. She is grateful for the opportunity to support and care for her community through her role as a nurse. She discovered her interest and aptness for mental health care early on and made it her focus.

Jessica has worked on pediatric inpatient units for Mental Health and Eating Disorders at McMaster University Hospital, expanding her understanding and knowledge of diagnoses as well as therapies. She also developed strong connections with patients working in primary care at a family physicians office, specializing in women’s health. She has also worked as an Educator for Personal Support Worker and Registered Practical Nursing programs at Anishinabek Educational Institute.

Jessica became a mother in 2017 and it changed her forever. She recently finished her third and final maternity leave and began important work at eFIT as the Operational Manager and Intake Coordinator, and she couldn’t be more thrilled to be part of the team!
