Every year, on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we pause to remember.

Today, we honour the courage, service, and sacrifice of the men and women who have defended our country — in times of war, conflict, and peace.

At Durham Medical, we reflect with gratitude on the freedoms we enjoy and the strength of those who served to protect them.

Let us remember their bravery, carry their legacy forward, and continue to build a community rooted in compassion, respect, and unity.

Lest we forget. ❤️🇨🇦
