As the number of Canadians affected by MS continues to rise many of us are beginning to ask questions and consider our own risk. In this episode of the (w)healthy podcast we are joined by Neurologist Dr. Scott Meckling, who specializes in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and treats patients right here at Kelowna General Hospital.

Shauna asks Dr. Meckling the questions we're all wondering, like why does that number remain so high in Canada? To catch all the answers for yourself head to whealthy.ca

An exciting day for the kindergarten students that joined us at the first annual Teddy Bear Clinic and for the KGH Foundation staff that got to join in on the fun!⁠
⁠
Made possible by a generous commitment from Kirmac Cares for Kids, of Kirmac Collision and Autoglass, KGH's first ever Teddy Bear Clinic launched in April and let elementary school students gain insight into some of the care they might receive at the hospital. With the help of real KGH health care professionals, they guided Teddys through interactive stations like X-Rays, IVs, MRIs, and more.⁠

Thank you to everyone who made this special day possible!

We recently attended the third annual Orchard Gardens Walker-thon and learned that motion truly is the lotion of life!

Not even a little drizzle could stop these residents from getting their steps in and doing an incredible number of laps around the beautiful Orchard Gardens property, and in doing so they raised over $1,300 for Senior’s Care right here in the Okanagan. Thank you to all of the residents, staff, and family involved in this year’s event!

Two weeks ago, our community showed up and SHATTERED our previous KGH Day of Giving record, raising over $2.5 million to advance Emergency Care right here at Kelowna General Hospital. We hope you enjoy some of the highlights as much as we did!

Thank you for proving that giving truly does change everything.

There's record-breaking, and then there's record-SHATTERING! To mark a decade of Day of Giving, the community came together to more than double our previous best Day of Giving.

Together, we raised $2,533,955.17 to help advance Emergency Care right here at Kelowna General Hospital! That is jaw-dropping, awe-inspiring, and almost unbelievable. To all of our donors, volunteers, corporate and community partners, media partners, staff, the Emergency team at KGH, and everyone else who contributed - our heartfelt gratitude for making the 10th annual Day of Giving truly unforgettable.

Of course, we would be remiss if we didn't give a special shoutout to Dr. Neil Long, who committed to shaving his head if we surpassed $1.5 million, and it's safe to say that blew that number out of the water! To see if he made good on his promise, and for more on the history and impact of Day of Giving, check out the full story: https://www.kghfoundation.com/historic-day-of-giving-raises-over-2-million/
