Glenrose Hospital Foundation

I’d like to give a shoutout to Trent Brown and James H. Brown & Associates - Alberta Injury Lawyers for their significant and long-standing support of the Glenrose Hospital Foundation. Their commitment has made a massive impact on advancing rehabilitation care and supporting patients on their recovery journeys. I also want to acknowledge Kwaku Adu for his dedication as a Courage Gala committee member. Kwaku has a deep personal connection to the Glenrose and is now bringing that passion to his new role as an injury lawyer with James H. Brown. We’re in the final stretch for Courage Gala ticket sales—85% sold, with a goal of 60 tables to celebrate the Glenrose’s 60th year. Sales close March 28 at https://lnkd.in/gRp2bT5A If you’re comfortable and want to support the #Glenrose, please consider sharing this with your networks. Every table brings us closer to making an even bigger impact.

March is Child Life Month, a time to celebrate child life specialists and the role they play in helping families and children navigate and normalize the hospital experience.  Natasha Beirnes, a certified child life specialist at the Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital, describes the impact of her work. "Being a child life specialist is incredibly special because families allow you into some of their most vulnerable and difficult moments,” says Natasha. “Whether a child is undergoing a medical procedure, recovering from surgery or a brain injury, or adjusting to a new diagnosis, these times are often filled with fear and uncertainty. As a child life specialist, you offer comfort, guidance, and support to both the child and their family, helping the child feel safe and supported during a challenging experience."  Sam, a patient at the Glenrose, shares the impact of child life services on his hospital experience. “Child life helped me a lot. It made me feel happy in the hospital and helped me not miss my family as much."  A huge thank you to our donors whose contributions make it possible for us to support the programs, services, and tools that child life specialists use to enhance the health and recovery of our pediatric patients. 🌟 To learn more about Natasha’s wonderful work, check out https://lnkd.in/gWqyfCxQ, and to discover more about the child life program at Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital and contribute to its continued impact, visit https://lnkd.in/g2ndafQd.
