Candace Wickham who, not many moons ago, appeared comfortable and content with the responsibilities associated with serving, over several years, as Head of Speech and Language Therapy at Georgetown Public Hospital, took a decision that she could satisfy the ‘calling’ of a profession that she had held dear, over time, whilst, simultaneously immersing herself in a business pursuit that could satisfy her wish for an enhanced quality of life.
Over time she has metamorphosed from being a public sector Health Professional to becoming the Proprietrix and Chief Executive Officer of Pro Care Therapy and Wellness Centre, a facility situated at 181-182, Sunflower Circle, South Ruimveldt and designed to execute critical responsibilities associated with the health and wellness of the nation’s children. Officially, Candace is designated a Speech and Language Specialist, the title given to a qualified and registered health professional who assesses and treats individuals, children, in Candace’s instance with communication needs, investigating and treating disorders related to speech, language, communication, eating, and drinking difficulties challenges. Reflecting on the new road that she now travels Candace told the Stabroek Business during a recent interview that she was “living out” her “purpose” and that “every day marks the fulfillment of my purpose on earth.”
