For years now, hospital porter Debka generously gives her own time and resources to decorate the C3 atrium at our Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre with outdoor lights and decorations. This thoughtful gesture brings warmth, joy, and true holiday spirit to everyone who passes through the space – patients, families, visitors, and staff alike. For those who are unwell or facing difficult moments, these lights offer comfort, hope, and welcome sense of normalcy during the holiday season. Many thanks for Debka's generosity and compassion.

When Mary-Jane Dolbear fell outside a grocery store, she expected to recover in a hospital bed.

Instead, thanks to the new HHS@Home program, she did most of her healing at home — supported by nurses, physiotherapists, personal support workers and the equipment she needed to recover safely.

Since launching in 2024, HHS@Home has helped more than 500 patients transition from hospital to home, improving recovery while easing pressure on hospitals.

🎥 Watch how this program is changing care in our community.
