Region 6 Assembly Representative Ogugua Charles Ikocha A Champion is Gone
We are sad to announce the passing of Charles a wonderful man, nurse, and champion he embodied passion about health and how nursing could influence our community.
A loss for the Centre of Addiction and Mental Health where Charles worked in the Early Psychosis Unit and our Association where Charles was evolving as a leader and advocate. Our hearts are full for this gentle, articulate, and quiet strength of a man--we are all better for knowing him.
