About Sylvia Donley:
Sylvia Donley, BScN MN is the past president of the Calgary Neuropathy Association. Sharing her knowledge and personal experience has become a passion and focus for Sylvia. She believes in the importance of connecting with those living with neuropathy, their family, friends and health care providers. Sylvia joined the Calgary Neuropathy Association as a member in 2008 and became President of the Association in 2010 when founder Val Shaw-Lewis stepped down.
