The June Misericorrdia Alumni Newsletter pays tribute to Sir Ronald De Witt who was a graduate of the 1970 class of Misericordia School of Nursing in Winnipeg. The article notes De Witt grew up in Flin Flon and had always intended to become a history teacher but when he worked one summer as an orderly in the Flin Flon hospital a nun suggested he become a nurse.  Sir Ronald was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 2002 for his meritorious service to nursing and health care in the United Kingdom. He has received many honors in his career because of the contributions he has made.  He holds an honorary doctorate and an honorary professorship from two universities and has led several important changes in health care in New Zealand and the United Kingdom that have improved access to and the quality of care that patients receive.  He retired from active service in 2007 but continues to work as a consultant, a mentor to nurses and health care managers and works with several charitable organizations from his home in Hove England.
