Our Team

Monique Champoux

R.N / Founder

Monique began her nursing career in her small home town of Leaf Rapids, Manitoba, and the neighbouring community of Lynn Lake. She has over 24 years of extensive nursing experience working with the private health sector, Manitoba federal nursing stations and health centres, the Northern Regional Health Authority, and Tribal Council healthcare.

Most of Monique’s experience is in the area of Community Health Nursing. As a First Nations individual, she is passionate about delivering high-level healthcare and support to northern rural and remote communities.

Through her vast experience as an R.N and her time at the helm of Unity Healthcare, she has encountered and experienced a diverse array of healthcare professionals, all of whom have helped her gain knowledge and shaped her life and career in many ways.

Partnering with Carolyn to create Unity Healthcare has been one of her most challenging and rewarding achievements.

Pam Rondinone

Co-Owner

Pamela Rondinone is a dedicated healthcare professional with 19 years of nursing experience, having worked across various facets of healthcare, particularly in rural and Indigenous communities. Her career began in a rural hospital, where she honed her skills in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. Shortly after, Pamela transitioned to working with Indigenous communities in the areas of maternal child health, homecare, and public health, a move that sparked her passion for serving underserved populations.

Pamela’s commitment to improving health outcomes in Indigenous communities led her to a leadership role as Tribal Council Homecare Coordinator, where she served seven First Nation communities in Southeastern Manitoba. In this position, she worked tirelessly to coordinate and support essential healthcare services, helping to improve access to care and empower families in their health journeys. During her time as Tribal Council Homecare Coordinator, Pamela worked closely with Monique Champoux, the founder of Unity Healthcare. Their shared vision, work ethic, and dedication to improving healthcare for Indigenous communities formed a strong bond, leading them to become both fast friends and colleagues.

In 2021, Pamela expanded her expertise further by taking on the role of Nurse Manager with the First Nation Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB), where she supported nurses working in First Nation Nursing Stations in northern Manitoba. During her time at FNIHB, Pamela gained invaluable experience, but her heart remained committed to the mission of providing accessible and impactful healthcare. This led her to join Unity Healthcare in February 2024, where she assumed the position of Nurse Manager, leading the team through important transitions, including accreditation processes and the development of key policies and procedures.

At the close of 2024, Unity Healthcare faced a significant change with the loss of one of its Directors. Monique and Pamela recognized the opportunity to work more closely together, and as a result, Pamela was invited to become a joint partner of the organization. Effective January 1, 2025, Pamela officially became a co-owner alongside Monique Champoux, a testament to their strong professional relationship and shared commitment to Unity’s mission.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Pamela is a proud mother of four daughters and two stepsons. She is also eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first grandchild, marking a new chapter in her personal life. Pamela’s journey has been defined by her passion for healthcare, her unwavering dedication to Indigenous communities, and her deep connection to her family and the team at Unity Healthcare.

As co-owner of Unity Healthcare, Pamela is excited to continue making a difference in the lives of those who need it most, while also enjoying the personal milestones and joys that come with family and growth.
