Twelve Calgary Health Foundation donors and volunteers honoured for their deep commitment to health care and community.

Wendy Guillemaud and Ernie Ooms always give to charities. Both retired and with no children, they wanted to be proactive in managing their affairs. They decided to include Calgary Health Foundation as one of the seven charities they support in their estate.

When viewed from the outside, growing up, Heather had an ordinary family. Two parents, brothers and sisters, a dog, and a lovely house in Haysboro. However, pulling aside the curtains, it was anything but. Heather’s parents had significant issues with addictions, and there was family history of it on both sides.

Audrey and Doug had just celebrated their son Ryan’s 32nd birthday. Following the celebration, Audrey and Doug then left to go on their trip to Australia.

Thanks to a grant from TD Bank Group, the Mosaic Refugee Health Clinic was able to expand its staffing to serve refugees while they are living in temporary accommodations.

Today, Blair is a bright, healthy, and vibrant young boy who recently celebrated his third birthday. But he spent the first 94 days of his life in the Foothills Medical Centre’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) after being born at just 27 weeks, 4 days, weighing 1,234 grams.

Blair’s parents, Colten and Chelsie Bodie are forever grateful for the care that Blair received in the NICU.
