Surviving sepsis
Sepsis almost took James Stitchman’s life; his love for his family (and a little help from a guardian angel named Luke Currie) saved him.
A guiding light
How volunteering at St. Paul’s Lights of Hope connects past and future for this Maple Ridge family.
This is the new stethoscope. This is the future.
This is the story of how a family doctor in Haida Gwaii, a cardiac specialist at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, and breakthrough imaging technology saved Kathryn Wiggins.
“When they wheeled him into the operating room, we didn’t know if we’d ever see him again.”
Jamie was a healthy, active college student. On a wilderness hike, he sprained his knee. Days later, he was on a ventilator in an induced coma on the precipice between life and death.
