“Organizing community events such as the Saint John Cardiac Rehab Walk has become such a special part of my life. Each one is a chance to bring people together for something meaningful—to give back in a way that touches lives beyond what we see every day at the hospital. It fills my heart to know that what we do helps make care better for someone else.”
