We are thrilled to announce an incredible $1 million donation by the Humphreys family to Kelowna General Hospital (KGH), marking a significant stride in enhancing Parkinson's care in British Columbia's Southern Interior. Barry Humphreys, a respected figure in Canada's potash industry, along with his family, has taken a courageous step to support those living with Parkinson's disease, a condition that personally affects him.
This generous contribution is dedicated to expanding the capabilities and service model of the Movement Disorder Clinic at KGH, established by renowned neurologist Dr. Daryl Wile. The clinic, which focuses on Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders, is a beacon of hope for approximately 2,600 individuals in the Interior Health Region affected by Parkinson's, a number that continues to grow annually.
Hear heartfelt insights from Barry's daughter, Kim Humphreys, who speaks about her father's journey with Parkinson's and the family's belief in Dr. Wile's vision to advance care for patients. The Humphreys' gift is not just a donation; it's a commitment to setting new standards in health care for those living with Parkinson's, especially in smaller communities.
Dr. Wile highlights the unique challenges faced in the region and the need for expanded services. This investment by the Humphreys family aims to enhance the clinic's capacity and foster innovative approaches tailored to the community's needs.
