2022 SPRING IMPACT REPORT
Our 2022 Spring Impact Report, INVISIBLE TO INVINCIBLE, highlights a handful of ways that your investments are amplifying the voices of women, bridging the gender gap in women’s health research, and helping to fund vital equipment and upgrades at the province’s dedicated women’s hospital.
ON OUR COVER
MEET KIERAN + CORBIN
“I felt a rollercoaster of emotions during those early days,” reflects mom, Vivian Hui. “Both boys needed ventilator support from the beginning because their lungs weren’t yet fully developed.”
The Hui-Wong Household is a tumble of toddler playfulness. At the centre of the action, you’ll find two-year-old twins, Kieran and Corbin. It is hard to imagine that they arrived prematurely at 28 weeks gestation, spending the first three months of life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre.
