RECOGNIZING AND REMEMBERING

IN CHALLENGING MOMENTS, EXTRA GESTURES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

$258,025

in memorial gifts and tribute giving

When a loved one receives care at the QEII, the impression can remain long after their passing. This is one reason why the QEII Foundation receives memorial and tribute gifts. Gifts can be directed to a care area that best reflects the unique interests, memories, or passions of the individual, or to recognize QEII teams that provided them with exceptional care. By remembering and honouring a life, memorial gifts improve care and make a lasting impact for future QEII patients.

The quality of care that Paul received from the QEII’s Department of Urology was just one word – phenomenal. Dr. Bailly was always available to help navigate Paul’s symptoms and to answer our panicked questions, so we didn’t have to be rushing in and out of emergency. There was exceptional continuity of care coupled with compassion. A remarkable combination.

Judith Riddoch shares that her late husband, Paul Riddoch, was often smiling, even during some of his most difficult moments. When Paul was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and underwent many treatments and surgeries in the QEII’s Department of Urology, Judith says that the excellent care provided by the team and by Dr. Greg Bailly, Head of Urology, helped keep Paul’s smile bright and spirits high.

Dr. Bailly and the urology team recently celebrated the arrival of the QEII’s first surgical robotics technology for cancer surgeries. The donations given in Paul’s memory will further advance care by purchasing equipment to help establish Atlantic Canada’s first laser prostatectomy program for prostate surgeries.
