Sharon Wadsworth R.N.
CooperRiis Nurse

Sharon comes to us all the way from Canada.  She earned her Diploma in Nursing from the Royal Victoria Hospital School of Nursing in Montreal and worked for 25 years in critical care areas at the Ottawa Civic and Ottawa General Hospitals, both as general staff and in management.

She and her husband, an electrical engineer, moved to North Carolina ten years ago, where Sharon worked for Duke Medical Center in P.A.C.U. prior to joining us at CooperRiis.

Now living happily in the mountains of North Carolina, Saluda to be specific, we feel most fortunate to have Sharon on our nursing team. She brings along a wealth of experience in nursing as well as great wisdom.

Sharon is licensed as an R.N. in North Carolina and in Ontario, Canada.
