This year’s cause is deeply personal to us. A valued member of our team experienced a sudden and life-threatening cardiac emergency. Thanks to the extraordinary care and quick intervention of the Freeman Hospital Cardiothoracic Centre, their life was saved. The expertise, speed, and compassion shown by the hospital’s staff were nothing short of remarkable—and we’re walking in gratitude and support of that care.
“After eight months of recovery and the support of my beloved family, I returned to work. I am forever thankful to the staff at Freeman's Hospital for their exceptional care. This experience taught me the value of paying attention to health warnings and cherishing each day—a lesson in resilience that I hold dear.” – CW
