A West Kootenay, B.C., family is calling for changes in the health-care system after their daughter died by suicide last month.

Roseanne Wallace was 33 years old and worked as a psychiatric nurse at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail.

“Roseanne was always fun to be around,” her father Lawrence told Global News.

However, he said Roseanne always wanted to help people and so she decided on a career in nursing, eventually working in the Daly Pavilion, which is a unit for people with acute to severe mental illness.

Roseanne had an altercation with a patient in 2021, during which Lawrence said she hurt her shoulder, requiring surgery. He said things never got better for his daughter after that.
