Mark’s Story

Dr. Koo & Mark

Mark & his family have a cottage in Wasaga Beach, where they spend their summers. Almost fifteen years ago, in one of those hot summer days, Mark suffered a terrible accident and badly injured his leg.

He was brought to CGMH by ambulance and Dr. Koo was tasked with trying to stich his leg back together. Surgery and post-op went extremely well, and Dr. Koo was able to save his leg. Shortly after his recovery, Mark moved across the country to Vancouver.

Mark and his family never forgot Dr. Koo’s care & compassion. And for 15 years they have been putting their gratitude into action, supporting the CGMH Foundation with donations in honour of Dr. Koo & his team.

This summer, Mark came to town to visit his parents and requested to come see Dr. Koo. He was so pleased to thank him in person for the great care. “His expertise meant I recovered completely and his assistance in setting up care in B.C. allowed me to move to Vancouver for work with only a short delay. I am so grateful,” shares Mark.
