“Life can feel heavy at times, and the news often reflects that,” says Katie Conners, Three Wishes volunteer. “But if you have a gift to share, a way to spread hope or kindness, share it." 🫶

At Brantford General Hospital’s Critical Care Unit, compassion goes far beyond medicine. Through the Three Wishes Program, our care teams help bring comfort, dignity, and connection to patients and families facing life’s most difficult moments. From meaningful wishes to handmade hearts that families hold onto long after goodbye, these small gestures carry profound meaning. As one nurse shared, they became “end-of-life friendship bracelets” — a reminder that love can still be felt no matter what.

Equity as a Professional Calling

After navigating spaces where representation was limited, Dr. Medina is now working to change that reality for others.

Through scholarships, mentorship, and dedicated resources, he’s helping Black students pursue careers in healthcare—building pathways so the next generation of professionals don’t feel alone in lecture halls, clinics, or boardrooms.

Looking ahead, the vision is clear. “A truly inclusive workplace is one where individuals can express their authentic selves without fear of retribution, persecution, or discrimination.”

For BCHS Occupational Therapist Rebecca Durand, helping patients regain their independence is more than a job — it’s about restoring confidence, dignity, and everyday life after illness or surgery.

From supporting patients after joint replacement to helping someone take their first steps again when they were once told they might never walk, Rebecca’s work shows the powerful impact of occupational therapy and strong interdisciplinary care.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers in Canada, but it is also one of the most preventable and treatable when detected early. Routine screening can save lives, often identifying concerns before symptoms even begin.

At BCHS, we support colorectal cancer screening through diagnostic services, including colonoscopy and follow-up care when needed. Our teams work closely with primary care providers to ensure patients receive timely access to screening and compassionate, high-quality care.

Early detection can save lives. We encourage you to learn the signs, know your risk, and take proactive steps for your health. For more information visit, https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/cancer-types/colorectal.
