Ashley joined our Patient Family Advisory Partnership in November 2018 following her mother’s admission to D-Wing.
 
While visiting her mom in the family lounge, a few staff members approached her about a hospital renovation project in the space and asked her thoughts on the work underway. Later, one of those staff members returned and asked if she would be interested in joining the Patient Family Advisory Partnership.

When Valerie’s newborn daughter, Adeline, was admitted to our hospital at only two days old the entire family was overwhelmed and panicked.

Over the course of the pandemic, we were deeply touched by the generosity of our community.

Watching or hearing about local businesses showing up at our hospital to deliver food and supplies to our team as they struggled to keep their doors open with provincial restrictions in place demonstrated just the kind of place we work in (and many of us live in).

Heather began volunteering with TeleCheck over ten years ago after learning about the opportunity from a friend, fellow community contributor and program founder, Katherine.
