Battlefords Union Hospital (BUH) Foundation is honoured to receive $500 from Kim Brown, local resident who wanted to raise awareness of Hereditary Angioedema, a rare disease she copes with, and support her local hospital who has cared for her when needed most. Funds donated will help to enrich patient care within The Battlefords.

“With the help of many, I was successfully able to raise these funds in honour of Rare Disease Day and in hopes of raising awareness for a disease I struggle with. I’m incredibly blessed to have the amazing staff of BUH behind me, and their top notch care,” shares Kim.

Rare Disease Day was recognized February 29th to raise awareness of rare diseases and their impact on the lives of patients. Hereditary Angioedema causes spontaneous anaphylaxis, treatment of which can cause Kim to spend time at BUH Emergency Room.

“We are grateful to Kim for choosing BUH Foundation and the local hospital to receive her donation. The Foundation’s mission is to provide enriched patient care for our family, friends and neighbours, and we are thankful that we are here for Kim when she needs us,” states Claudette McGuire, Executive Director of BUH Foundation.
