Gifts of Gratitude

A gift of gratitude is a meaningful way to say thank you to a caregiver who has provided you or a loved one with exceptional care.  You can show your appreciation for the physician, nurse, support worker or volunteer who made a difference in your care by making a donation in their honour.  We will send a tribute card to the individual letting them know you have supported our hospital in their name.  The amount of your donation will not be disclosed.

Memoriam

In Memory of Ken Beer

Diagnosed with mesothelioma, an incurable form of cancer caused from exposure to asbestos, Ken Beer spent his final days as a patient of the Palliative Care Unit at NHH. His wife Marli and son Stew were very grateful for the care Ken received during this very difficult time.

As an expression of thanks, the Beers donated $5,000 to purchase a CADD pain pump for future patients of the Unit. It is not uncommon for palliative patients to have multiple pumps on the go at any one time to administer a steady stream of pain medication to keep patients comfor table. Ken benefitted from access to these pumps during his hospital stay. In addition to the family’s personal donation, Marli and her friends and extended family joined forces to host a Christmas Gift Sale in November at Mackechnie House.

The event was a huge success and resulted in the purchase of a second CADD pump! We are very grateful to Marli, Stew, and all their family and friends who made this possible. Kenny Beer - Loved with a love beyond telling. Missed with a grief beyond tears.
