Day 5 is for the McMaster Children's Hospital on behalf of Chantelle Cortez, Law Clerk
“My daughter was very sick the first year and a half of her life with a respiratory illness. We spent a lot of time there (between stays and appointments) and the nurses, staff, doctors and volunteers were phenomenal, not just with her care and diagnosis but also with making sure I was as okay as I could be given the circumstances.”
McMaster Children’s Hospital has been providing care to children from across the region since 1988. Here, patients ranging in age from infancy to 17 receive care through a family-centred approach that accounts for the child’s emotional, mental and physical well-being.
The hospital is home to the fastest-growing kids-only emergency department in Ontario, one of Canada’s most advanced neonatal intensive care units, and a range of programs and clinics with unique expertise in a number of areas including children’s cancer, digestive diseases, and mental health.
