I've come to recognize the absolute privilege of our access to healthcare, and moreso the huge role the hospital foundation plays in improving patient experience and outcomes. The amount of dedication and support from our community that goes into this shared resource is astounding, please join me in supporting and sharing this foundation's wonderful cause.

Coming off of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday highs - this may be a time to reflect on what message we are sharing with our friends and loved ones. All I can hope for is that you contemplate #GivingTuesday even if just for a moment, and if you choose to share this message and/or donate, I thank you immensely.

On this #GivingTuesday, I wanted to share with everyone a bit of personal news...I (Theresa Shaw) have recently joined the @BurnabyHospitalFoundation board of trustees!!
