A former NHL defencemen, Randy depended on his legs. Then one Saturday morning in 2014, he awoke to discover his legs weren’t working. Whisked by ambulance, doctors discovered cerebrospinal fluid, leaking from an incision from a recent back surgery he had in Maine. Life threatening, he was rushed into surgery to correct complications. “They did a terrific job and they did what they had to do to fix me, and I’m forever grateful that it allows me to have a life after hockey”.

Dr. Rob Hayes is a dermatologist, seeing some 500 patients a year. He is one of a handful of surgeons in the Maritimes who provides “Mohs” – a medical procedure some 80 years old that still offers the highest cure rates for skin cancers on the head and neck. And he sees those patients in Clinic 1. He’s very excited to see the changes that will come with its expansion.

“I have patients with me for hours. A renovated space is going to offer better patient care,” says Dr. Hayes. “It will also allow me a chance to collaborate on a regular basis with other doctors.”

Fredericton resident Michelle Price never had much time for doctors – until she found herself on the floor of her bedroom late one night, gasping for breadth, suffering a massive heart attack. She credits staff at the New Brunswick Heart Centre with saving her life. “The hospital staff were perfect. Everyone was so kind. And if it hadn’t been for Dr. White, well, I don’t think I’d be here today”
