PRAVEEN NAKESVARAN

Praveen Nakesvaran is a Respiratory Therapist at Humber River Hospital dealing primarily with life and death situations including high risk intubations, life support, resuscitations and high risk baby deliveries, working in the ICU, Labour and Delivery, and the Emergency Departments.

During the pandemic, all these departments cared for COVID-19 patients or the unknown status of patients in emergency situations. This past year, Praveen made the decision to move out of his home and live out of a hotel for four months to separate himself from his high risk family members.

Working not only one full time job, but two other part time jobs on the side with no vacation time, he’s pulled through relentless hours giving back to his patients and community.
