I never imagined that providing palliative care in shelters and on the streets would lead to this.
Honoured today to receive the King Charles III Coronation Medal…awarded to Canadians for outstanding contributions.
This recognition carries many names and many stories. 💙

I began providing palliative care in long-term care in 2016 — an experience that’s shaped my work ever since.
Honoured to receive the 2025 Dr. S. Lawrence Librach Award, recognizing physician leadership in palliative care.
Grateful to all who’ve shared this journey. 🙏🏽
