When it comes to your heart, every minute and every answer matters.
After a frightening health scare and quadruple bypass surgery, local resident Ken King knows firsthand how important timely cardiac testing can be.
Today, he’s asking for your help to bring a new Cardiac Stress Test Machine to Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH).
"Going to GBGH may have saved my life."
“I’d spent most of my life avoiding hospitals. Then one day, I felt intense pressure in my chest and knew something was wrong.
The team at GBGH acted quickly. Within weeks, I had undergone quadruple bypass surgery and started a second chance at life.
The care I received was amazing.”
Today, Ken is giving back to the hospital that cared for him and inviting others to do the same.

Local hospitals don't happen on their own.
While recovering, Ken spent time walking the halls of GBGH.
One day, he stopped at the donor wall and recognized names of people from across the community.
“It reminded me that hospitals don’t just happen on their own. They depend on people who care enough to help.”
