Meeting postponed due to virus concerns

The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation is postponing a town hall public meeting to talk about strokes that was set for Thursday (March 12) at the hospital.

The foundation said the decision was made in light of recommendations by B.C.’s Ministry of Health over COVID-19, and a new date will be set in the future.

In an email to donors and event attendees, KGH Foundation CEO, Doug Rankmore said, “While the risk to your health and safety remains very low, adopting a proactive and preventative approach is most aligned with our organizational mission.”

Rankmore went on to say, “We are no less committed to championing a new era in stroke care at KGH for all those that call the southern interior of B.C. home. We are grateful for and encouraged by the remarkable response to this event from our community. Please stay tuned as we share more information in the coming days.”
