Meet Charlene Frechette

Tansi, my name is Charlene Frechette and I am a registered nurse with 30+ years experience. I am married going on 38 years and we have 3 grown beautiful boys and one new very mischievous grandson who is just tuning one! I come from Treaty 5 Territory, Opaskwayak Cree Nation and my spirit name is Red Tail Hawk Woman. My forever home is on Clearwater Lake just outside of The Pas and I have worked my entire career in the North, with the last half of my career working directly within the Swampy Cree Tribal Council area assisting and advising the 8 communities within the region.  My parents are from Cormorant, MB and this is where I grew up with my 3 siblings. My husband and I recently partnered with our in laws to start a firewood business which will keep us moving and busy well into our 70’s and 80’s! My heart and passion for First Nations Health has always kept me in the North I am excited to work with FNHSSM where I can continue to positively impact the health and well being of our First Nation’s.
