Meet the Team
Dr. Mitch Canes, Pediatrician
I am originally from Thornhill, Ontario. I obtained my medical degree at Western University in London, Ontario and moved to Vancouver for Pediatrics residency and fellowship in Pediatric Infectious Diseases. I work part time in community General Pediatrics and Pediatric Infectious Diseases. I am particularly interested in working with kids newly arrived in Canada. I also love talking about vaccines! In my downtime I love to read, hike, play mahjong, and explore new places.
Katherine Henthorne, Family NP
I graduated from the UBC school of Nursing (where I first met Anamaria) in 2010. I worked at BC Children's Hospital in the ER primarily, and at Canuck Place Children's Hospice. I loved nursing, but wanted to explore further education and gain a bigger scope of practice. I graduated from the UBC Master's of Nursing Program with my Nurse Practitioner certification in 2019, and joined Granville Medical Clinic in 2020.
A Family Nurse Practitioner (NP) is a Master's prepared Nurse, who can prescribe medications and treatments, treat patients independently, order tests (including bloodwork, CT scans, MRI) and refer to specialists as necessary. Nurse Practitioners have a similar scope to a family physician, but have a background in nursing. A family NP can see patients from day one of life across the lifespan.
Debora Judice, Family NP
I was born and raised in Brazil. I have a degree in international medicine from the Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil (1998), with a postgraduate degree in General Surgery. I worked as a general surgeon, teaching assistant and in healthcare management roles, enjoying a rewarding career in Brazil until November 2022, one month before landing in Canada.
Seeking new challenges, I completed a master’s in administrative sciences focused on Global Health at Farleigh Dickinson University, Vancouver Campus. This experience broadened my knowledge and helped me integrate into Canadian culture. Besides, as part of the amazing and supportive Granville team, I am excited about this new chapter. In my free time, I enjoy playing the guitar, writing poetry and spending time with family and friends.
I believe there is always an opportunity to grow, improve, and make a difference in people's lives if you are ready. So, I am. I´ve always been.
Dr. Lanna Locke, Pediatrician
I was born and raised in Regina, Saskatchewan. I studied at the University of Saskatchewan and completed my medical degree there as well in 2012. I moved to Vancouver for my paediatric residency at BC Children’s Hospital which was completed in 2016. Following the completion of my residency, I completed an additional 18 months of training in Palliative Medicine. I am also particularly interested in working with teens and adolescents.
In addition to community Pediatric work, I work with the BC Children’s Hospital Oncology Long Term Follow-Up program, caring for survivors of childhood cancer. I also previously worked in the newborn intensive care unit at Surrey Memorial Hospital as a clinical associate.
In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my family, walking my chocolate lab, gardening, cooking and dreaming about traveling to new places.
Dr. Anamaria Richardson, Pediatrician
I graduated from UBC Pediatrics Training, as a "mature" student - which means I know what it is like to balance life and kids. I used to be a teacher, and have worked many odd jobs. I went into medicine to work towards a more equitable future, and hopefully this will be the future.
I graduated from UBC Medicine, having done my training in Prince George, then completed my Pediatrics training in Vancouver. Previously I was a teacher, and also have a botany degree! I have been working at BCCH in Complex Care and in Biochemical Diseases since graduation.
I also sit on numerous tables and boards, again interested in health equity.
Sara Trujillo, Family NP
I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from BCIT in 2016. During my time as a nurse, I worked primarily at BC Children's Hospital in Oncology and Hematology. As much as I enjoyed working as a nurse, I always knew my end goal was to become a Family Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from the UBC Master's of Nursing Program with my Nurse Practitioner certification in 2021, and met Katherine and Anamaria through my final preceptorship at Granville Pediatrics. In my spare time, I love to bike, hike and do all things outdoors!
