Hazel Booth, NP
Clinical Director, Hazelnut Health
Nurse Educator, Camosun College
Instructor, University of Victoria
I am a Nurse Practitioner, educator, focused on building primary care that is relationship-based, accountable, and centered on prevention. I founded Hazelnut Health in British Columbia—a community-based clinic designed for continuity and local access.
My clinical work includes family medicine, seniors’ care, mental health (including ADHD), menopause, chronic disease, and palliative care. I also works in public health, travel medicine, and MAiD.
I teach and develop NP programs across Canada and Australia and speak on primary care redesign and prevention.
My Story
I co-founded IHL because of one question: how can we build a health system that supports people before they become unwell?
I’ve worked across clinical care, education, and policy, helping develop Nurse Practitioner roles in the Yukon and Australia. Along the way, I saw the limits of a system that is often reactive and hard to navigate.
At IHL, my focus is on a bringing health care literacy to our community focused on prevention and giving people agency to make the right choices for them. I bring clinical expertise in family care, aging, mental health, and chronic disease, along with travel medicine and end-of-life care.
I continue to teach, develop NP programs, and speak on how primary care can better serve both patients and providers.
