Through her work on this committee, she was able to provide a patient’s perspective on maternal health, labour and delivery and neonatal intensive care (NICU) at the hospital where she spent six weeks in antenatal and another two weeks in the NICU with her son. She continues to be an advocate to ensure he gets the support and treatment needed, which is an uphill struggle in a medical system that doesn’t recognize the unique needs of children, and the education system is challenged to support children with lesser known conditions.
