With donor support already improving patient rehabilitation facilities at the IWK, practitioners, like Dr. Jordan Sheriko, are changing the way rehabilitation services are offered to patients.
Our sincere gratitude is extended to you - the individuals, businesses, community groups and schools that have donated your time, money and resources to enhance care at the IWK.
Our story isn't over yet - and we are counting on you, our community of donors, to stay on this journey with us. Be part of changing history as we continue transforming care for our most vulnerable and critically-ill patients right here in the Maritimes.
