“Joan was so passionate about this hospital and the children within it. When pediatric care is supported, we are not only addressing the immediate health needs of our children, but we are also safeguarding their future potential. The children in this hospital who receive the care and attention they deserve are more likely to thrive and have a healthy start in life that sets the stage for lifelong success.”

Therriault adds that the renaming is well-deserved, and that Donald Jr.’s name will serve as a beacon of inspiration for future generations of health care professionals, supports and community members.

“In honouring Joan’s memory, we not only recognize her accomplishments and kindness but also acknowledge the power of compassion, dedication, and the enduring impact one person can have on a community. May her legacy continue to inspire us all.”
