Episode 114: Annie Grenon's family legacy for a healthier tomorrow
About this episode
Annie Grenon discusses her family's connection to The Ottawa Hospital and their decision to leave a legacy gift for future patients.
Annie Grenon has strong ties to The Ottawa Hospital. She was a patient for kidney care years ago and, more recently, for a pulmonary embolism. She's also seen both of her grandchildren born at the Civic Campus, and her late husband received cancer care. It was when her husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer that their family came together to discuss leaving a gift in their will to The Ottawa Hospital. It was about helping other families in the future — forward-thinking to create a healthier tomorrow. (25:31)
