Arjay Ordona, one of North York General Hospital’s geriatric emergency management nurses, has been calling geriatric patients aged 65 and older to see how they’re doing and provide them with advice during the COVID crisis.

February is Heart Month, a time to join together to raise awareness of heart health in our community and beyond. This month is especially meaningful as we mark the one-year anniversary of the Graham & Audrey Rosenberg Family Cardiac Care Clinic.

My name is Naomi Wong and I have been a Patient and Family Advisor at North York General for two years, but my connection with the hospital began 22 years ago when I was brought into the world. My great-grandmother was among the first of my relatives to hold me. On this Family Day, I want to share with you the story of my great-grandmother’s last day with us.
