Sue LeBeau is a Northern Franco-Ontarian who wholeheartedly believes that nurses are invaluable health-care leaders and system transformers. LeBeau knows that nurses’ voices are strongest when they are united, informed by evidence, and focused on what is right and good for patients and the health-care system.
RNAO has been a precious constant in LeBeau's career, from her days as an RNAO student representative, through her energetic work to expand nurses’ scope of practice and leadership in a variety of health and education settings.
LeBeau understands nurses’ experiences from several perspectives. Her health-care system experience includes being a rural hospital CEO in Northeastern and Northwestern Ontario, her current role as ÉSO SEMEL Ontario Health Team’s executive director, and decades of leadership in home care, Local Health Integration Networks and urban hospitals. She has nursing experience in public health, sexual assault and domestic violence treatment, primary care and in independent nurse practitioner practice. LeBeau has also educated nurses and NPs in post-secondary and post-baccalaureate settings in Ontario and New Brunswick.
An enthusiastic learner, LeBeau has expanded her scope of practice through NP, MScN and MBA studies, which included a focus on Indigenous women’s wellness and health-care leadership. She has served on several boards of directors in addition to being an RNAO Region 12 board representative and a policy and political action network officer.
LeBeau is fired up by the privilege of enthusiastically supporting RNAO members across Ontario through responsive listening, generous knowledge sharing, deep empowerment, strong advocacy and resounding celebration. She looks forward to our bright future as we contribute together to nurses’ and patients’ best selves.
