Guest post by Zoe Maika, a UBC Dietetics student As dietitians, we encourage everyone to eat vegetables and fruit year-round. Fresh fruit and vegetables have long been many consumers’ first choice. But with the price of fresh vegetables up 15.9 per cent since December 2021, you may want to head to the frozen food aisle more often. If you’re craving a crunchy apple or some fresh veggies with dip, fresh produce is the way to go. But if you want to make a nutritious meal and don’t feel like splurging in the produce section or spending time chopping, a trip to the frozen aisle is in order.  Here’s why:

Name: Joanne Standish (she/her/hers) Job Title: Occupational health nurse and safety advisor Years of Service: 5.5 Worksite: Commerce Court / IH-wide service area Community: Penticton Ancestral Territory: Syilx Okanagan Favourite Quote / Advice to live by: "Our goals can only be reached through the vehicle of a plan. There is no other route to success" - Pablo Picasso Joanne Standish grew up in the small town of Burstall in southwestern Saskatchewan, with a “single gas plant on the prairie” as her source of livelihood in an otherwise rural farming community. After spending a year in chemical engineering Joanne realized she wanted to help others more tangibly, and shifted to a career as a registered nurse (RN). Joanne’s interest in industry continued and while working as a nurse in acute care she also began a career in occupational health and safety (OHS) in the local oil and gas industry. “I am fascinated by learning the processes of work – in any industry – and how they potentially impact the worker and their health, safety and well-being. Once that is understood, then supporting the worker and the organization so workers don’t get hurt or sick from work becomes clearer.” With her Occupational Health Nursing Certificate, during her 35-year career Joanne has enjoyed many opportunities to learn and apply OHS principles across multiple industries. “Because my family life required frequent transfers throughout Alberta, I was able to work to full scope in meatpacking, gas processing, bitumen refining (Alberta oil sands), power generation and now health care.”  In 2017, Joanne finally made her dream move to Penticton with her sons to take full advantage of the Okanagan lifestyle, while continuing her career at Interior Health as an occupational health nurse and safety advisor.

It has been two years since Interior Health registered nurses (RNs) and registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs) began prescribing opioid agonist therapy (OAT).  In September 2020, a public health order (PHO) was issued by Dr. Bonnie Henry to enable nurse prescribing with the goal of increasing access to medication-assisted treatment and safer alternatives to the toxic illicit drug supply. This PHO paved the way for the BC College of Nurses and Midwives and the BC Centre on Substance Use to work with the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions and health authorities to develop the nurse prescriber scope in 2021.
