Dynacare prepares for the future of medical care
F
or histologist Jany
Nlend, her time at
Dynacare Inc. has
proved a perfect fusion.
“What brought me to
health care in the first place is
that I want to make a difference
in people’s lives, and what we do
at Dynacare can literally do that
by making sure that they receive
the best treatment in a timely
manner,” says the senior medical
laboratory technologist.
“What struck me right away
about the company is the fact it
invests in its people,” says Nlend.
“Dynacare has been the place
where I have thrived the most,
because when you have passion
and commitment, here the doors
will open for you to help people
and showcase your skills.”
Discussing what makes the
Brampton, Ont.-based medical
laboratory services company
successful, CEO Vito Ciciretto says
the “long and the short of it” is
fostering a workplace culture that
inspires meaningful work.
“We want our people to
recognize and feel the role they
play in the health and wellness of
Canadians,” Ciciretto says. “And
part of making sure Dynacare
stays true to that mission is to
provide, at the same time, an
environment where everybody
feels welcome and where they can
grow and thrive.”
An important aspect of that, he
continues, is a strong commitment
to inclusion, diversity and belonging. “Diversity is an enriching
asset, not an obligation or something that could hold the company
back,” says the CEO. “Our three
employee networks – women,
LGBTQ+ and Black – feature very
open dialogue and sharing personal stories. That’s a litmus test
for me. If people feel comfortable
sharing their own experiences,
then all lines of communication
are open and I think we’re on the
right path as a company.”

Dynacare encourages collaboration among its employees and is always focused on the future of health care.
– “growing up in a new country,
new culture, new everything,”
she says, “then finding this place
where I can feel myself and
unleash my full potential.”
“Dynacare has been the
place where I have thrived
the most, because when
you have passion and
commitment, here the
doors will open for you to
help people and showcase
your skills.”

Dynacare’s future leader
program has taught her how to
handle tough situations and support her team members through
change, while always being
supported by her own manager.
“I’ve never felt like I was left alone
to deal with any issues, something
I had felt in other workplaces,”
says Nlend. “We have such a big
collaborative mindset here.”
That’s something Dynacare aims
to extend to future health-care
workers in a burgeoning field.
Histology, the microscopic study
of tissues and organs through
sectioning and staining, is vital in
cancer detection. “There will be
an increasing demand from an
aging population, and we have to
be ready for that,” says Nlend.
“We work with various programs to engage high schoolers,
often from underrepresented
communities, in STEM careers,”
