Georgina McKelvie has donated $80,000 to the Owen Sound Regional Hospital Foundation to help ER physicians and staff maintain their emergency medicine skills.
A media release from Grey Bruce Health Services says you may recognize the McKelvies as long time hospital foundation donors and Owen Sound Attack Hockey supporters (Ray is the OHL team’s Director of Business Operations).
Georgina has been a breast cancer survivor for the last 16 years and now has Leukemia.
She says she wanted to make the donation while she was still able to participate, and wrote the $80,000 cheque while sitting on the edge of her palliative care bed.
The money will go towards a portable, computerized medical mannequin that can
simulate critical care scenarios so doctors can practice and develop new skills.
Georgina says she’s had great care over the years at hospital in Owen Sound.
