Care Champion Spotlight – Dr. Portt 🩺🧡 Today, we’re sharing one of the sweetest Care Champion recognitions yet — a heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Portt, submitted by a very grateful patient… age 5! 💬✨

💬 “To Dr. Portt: Thank you for fixing my cut and giving me 4 stitches. You were really nice and made me feel brave even though I was a little scared. My stitches don’t hurt now, and I think you did a really good job! I also like the clamp you gave me — it’s my special doctor tool! Thank you for helping me feel better.”
— Grateful Patient, age 5 🧸💉

📝 From Mom:
"Thanks for all the work you and the Foundation do for the community, and all the best for finishing 2025 off strong.”

This recognition is a beautiful reminder that small acts of care can make a huge difference — especially for our littlest patients. Thank you, Dr. Portt, for your kindness, professionalism, and for making a scary moment a little less scary. 💙

🩺💙 Care Champion Spotlight – PECMH Nurses & Staff have been recognized as Care Champions for their kindness, compassion, and outstanding care.

💬 From a grateful parent:
“Each time I’ve needed care, I’ve been met with kindness, understanding, compassion, and respect. I recently visited twice with my young daughter, and everyone was so gentle and reassuring with her. The staff made the experience as smooth as possible for both of us. I never felt judged for my concerns—only cared for. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”

This recognition speaks to the strength of the entire team, whose professionalism and empathy shine through in every interaction. 🌟

🥌 Rocks glide like they’ve got somewhere important to be
🍁 Flannel becomes a competitive advantage
🧊 The ice sparkles like a fresh winter morning in cottage country

Come for the curling, stay for the Canadiana vibes.

Bring your plaid. Bring your fun. Bring your “sorry”-per-minute personal best.
