Donor Story – The Cambells

Donor Story – The Campbells

Ken Campbell was born in Bethune, Saskatchewan on December 14, 1927. Ken attended Bethune Country School and Bethune High.  He worked 38 years with Imperial Oil.

Grace Campbell was born in Southey, Saskatchewan, April 9, 1930.  She attended Regina Elementary and Balfour Technical School.  Grace worked for Saskatchewan Provincial Government offices.

Together they lived in Regina, SK., Edmonton, AB. and Kelowna, BC.  They were fortunate to travel to England, Scotland, the Canadian Maritimes, Mexico, Arizona, California and Hawaii.

Ken enjoyed building houses and doing woodwork and Grace kept busy with cooking, knitting, bowling, and volunteer work.  She visited with breast cancer survivors and canvassed for both the Cancer Foundation and the Heart & Stroke Foundation.  They both attended the Lutheran Church and enjoyed entertaining family and friends.

They were most proud of their two wonderful children, son, Grant and daughter, Brenda.  They were blessed with 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

The Kelowna General Hospital has always been important to the Campbell’s and especially so as they have gotten older.

Sadly, Ken passed away February 20, 2010.  Grace has left a bequest in her will to the KGH Foundation to show appreciation for the care that she and Ken received whenever it was needed.

TESTIMONIALS
Making a Difference
“The Kelowna General Hospital Foundation is essential for helping clinicians to deliver the best care for patients. Strong collaborations between clinicians, hospital administrators, patients, and community leaders are important to ensure that people who need the most complex medical care can stay local in Kelowna.”
Dr. Michael TsoMD Ph.D., Neurosurgeon
"Supporting people and innovation leads to results. We have seen major advances in the scope and quality of neurological care at our site by attracting and supporting people who build & innovate. Support from the community allows us to go beyond what we need today and drive care further.”
Dr. Daryl WileNeurologist at KGH
“Linking the passion and desires of donors to the needs/opportunities of the health system and KGH is such a privilege. I am inspired most by the people; our team, donors, clinicians & caregivers, and administrators and ultimately, the transformative changes to our system of care that become possible when we work together. I am grateful to be able to feel such purpose in my work.”
Allison YoungCEO KGH Foundation
“In Canada, I think we take our health care for granted. We don’t have a clue what anything costs. But every appointment and procedure has a price tag. We have always contributed to the hospital in a small way. However, after my emergency heart surgery and hospital stay, it seemed even more important. We want to contribute to the ongoing excellence of treatment and care at KGH.”
