Project Testimonial 4

A recent encounter with a family at IWK Health reminded me of the importance of research and the work we do in offering opportunities to families. I approached a family with a critically ill child with an offer to participate in the POPCORN study. In talking with them, we discussed how scared they were for the health of their child, and the feelings of uncertainty for the future. The family mentioned to me that the chance to participate in the study was an opportunity for some good to come out of an otherwise awful experience; it was their hope that their contribution could help another family avoid a similar experience, or at least make it a little more bearable.
