No Gifts, Just Gratitude: Cookie’s Steadfast Support of NYGH

Cookie Gigan — social media maven, devoted grandmother, philanthropist, and tireless champion of North York General Hospital (NYGH) — knows the profound connections that form when a place of care stands by you during life’s defining moments.

“Why does NYGH mean so much to me?” Cookie begins, her voice breaking with emotion. “They’ve shown me compassion, healed me, and held my hand when I needed it most. How do you ever walk away from that? You don’t. You give back.”
