"As a volunteer at Ottawa Regional, every day I see patients who have benefited from the care they received at the hospital," says Marge. "So, when I needed surgery, it was an obvious choice. I went to Ottawa Regional. Over the years I have had a number of surgeries at this hospital. The doctors, nurses, and staff are super because they know how to get to the root of the problem and I am always treated like a queen. So, when the pain in my knees started to interfere with my dancing and aerobic classes, I knew it was time to do something." |
