…born at just 24 weeks, twins Amelia and Harper relied on Children’s Hospital’s expert Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) team for feeding, breathing and developmental support.

She’s deeply grateful for their support in helping to rebuild her life.

…a porter at University Hospital who’s always loved staying active. Three years ago, a rash and leg pain—first thought to be shingles—led to sudden paralysis in her toes. Tests revealed a spinal fracture and bone fragment pinching a nerve, putting her at risk of permanent paralysis. At LHSC, Dr. Victor Yang and Dr. Marcelo Oppermann used advanced robotic technology for a precise, less invasive surgery. Today, Teena is pain-free, thriving in recovery, and grateful for a second chance at life.
