Story
Every day at West Park, people are helped by skilled, caring healthcare professionals to recover from serious injury or illness, regain their independence, and get back to the lives they love.
Chris, having worked in healthcare the last 3 years, has seen firsthand the importance of supporting our institutions and professionals and of the impactful work they can do. He's also seen the difficulties limited funding has on the lived realities of patients, doctors, and nurses, with professionals often being forced to make difficult choices at the point of care.
For Kenzi, his experience volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House helped spotlight the struggles families face when caring for ill children and the stresses of medical procedures. Their challenges highlight the fragility of health and strength needed to endure, and underscore the importance of accessible support systems in tough times.
Likewise, when Aidan was a young child, his dad faced a life threatening illness that left him in a coma for weeks, ultimately recovering thanks to the efforts of staff that supported him and the family day and night. This experience gave him a deep appreciation for the incredible work healthcare professionals do and the impact they have on families like his.
For Spencer, growing up with a dad that works as an anesthesiologist has exposed him to the pressures healthcare professionals face in their day-to-day, how much providers care about their patients, and of the importance of the field.
With that, our team is proudly participating in the Tournament of Stars in March, 2025, to help patients and members of the community who need West Park's specialized rehabilitation and complex care programs.
Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
