How we started...

North Shore Foot Care was started in 2016 by Anne Fraser, a Licensed Practical Nurse with over 25 years experience in health care. Anne has had a wide range of nursing experiences working in Acute Care, Long Term Care, Assisted Living, and Home Care.

 

Recognizing a growing need for home services, Anne completed the Basic and Advanced Foot Care Certification at Vancouver Community College and began providing home foot care service in North and West Vancouver. 

North Shore Foot Care is now a team of 7 nurses providing professional foot care to clients in their home, care facility or community setting, serving a broad range of communities across the North Shore, Lower Mainland, and Vancouver Island
