THUNDER BAY – Three years ago, Lisa Joubert had one of the most stressful days of her life, when her daughter was airlifted to southern Ontario to access critical care for her complex heart condition.
This year, the local resident says she received the best Mother’s Day gift she could imagine, after getting the news Friday that Thunder Bay’s regional hospital has finalized a protocol with SickKids to fill a gap in emergency pediatric cardiac care.
Joubert’s youngest child, Grace, was born with a congenital heart defect that has required numerous surgeries and regular monitoring, both locally and at the SickKids hospital in Toronto.
