About Melinda Loughren
My name is Melinda Loughren, and I have been passionately dedicated to the healthcare field since 1996. As a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), Licensed Reflexologist, and Advanced Foot Care Nurse Provider, I have honed my skills in various healthcare settings, all while prioritizing compassion, strength, and empathy. My commitment to high-quality care is further reinforced by my memberships in the Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses (CAFCN) and the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA).
Since 2016, I have developed a particular focus on advanced foot care and diabetic foot care, recognizing these areas often receive less attention despite their critical importance. By integrating my nursing expertise with my passion for people, I aim to provide holistic care that addresses the often-overlooked needs of my patients. At Sweet Feet, we believe in supporting your healthcare journey wherever you are. Our approach emphasizes collaboration with healthcare teams, families, and referring physicians, ensuring that everyone is informed and engaged in the process of care.
Just as every part of a bike is essential for a smooth ride, so too is every member of the healthcare team crucial for optimal health outcomes. Our philosophy revolves around teamwork and communication, ensuring that we work together seamlessly to provide you with the best care possible. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey and making a positive impact on your well-being!
