On Emancipation Day, we reflect on the historic abolition of slavery in the British Empire and honour the strength, endurance and contributions of Black communities.

While we recognize this important milestone, we also acknowledge that the legacy of anti-Black racism continues to impact communities today. At CKHA, we remain committed to advancing health equity, breaking down barriers, and creating a more inclusive environment for all.

When it comes to a stroke, every second counts. ⏱️

That’s why the Stroke Care Team at CKHA is constantly working to optimize our "code stroke" response time - the crucial window between a suspected stroke and life-saving treatment.
Delivering this rapid care takes a village. From our physicians and nurses to diagnostic imaging and administrative specialists, it’s a true team effort.

How can you help? 👉 If you suspect someone is having a stroke, the absolute best thing you can do is call 9-1-1 immediately. Fast action saves brain power! 🧠💪

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting high school students for Discovery Healthcare Camp!

Discovery Healthcare Camps (DHC) is a program designed to expose high school students to a variety of health care professions within their community.

The goal of the camp is to give students the opportunity to meet health care professionals, explore different career paths, and gain a deeper understanding of the many roles involved in health care.

Take a look at some of the activities they got to participate in this week!
