Through his leadership, integrity and guidance KC managed the Foundation's largest-ever fundraising campaign from conception and very successfully completed it ahead of schedule. Under KC's direction, the Investing in Care - Close to Home Campaign was a resounding success, resulting in a $6.5 million commitment towards the new 14,000 square foot Emergency Department, the redevelopment of the Diagnostic Imaging Department and addition of the CT scanner at the Georgetown Hospital. KC's quiet, compassionate personality and community involvement allowed him to very effectively connect and build relationships with local companies, families and individuals. These close relationships enabled the Foundation to set new goals which will continue to support the Georgetown Hospital as it strives to provide state-of-the-art healthcare, close to home. On behalf of the Georgetown Hospital Foundation & the Foundation Board of Directors we would like to thank KC for his unwavering dedication, contribution and commitment to the Georgetown Hospital and our Foundation and wish him all the best in his new role as Vice President of Development at West Park Healthcare Centre Foundation in Toronto.
