We are heartbroken to share that Jody Ross passed away on February 6, 2025, at 42. We had the honour of knowing Jody and watching her grow into an incredible woman, mother and friend.
IWK Patients
For Melanie and Neil, from Prince Edward Island, needing the IWK was something they never anticipated. But in May of 2019, their second youngest daughter, Georgia, began showing signs of illness. At first, it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary.
When Jonas was having gastrointestinal symptoms in September 2019, his parents, Heather and Jeremy, thought they would clear up within a few days.
In 2009, when Amy was 15 years old, she sought the help of the IWK, thanks to her parents’ loving and encouraging support. She was suffering from an eating disorder, anxiety and depression, which were taking a severe toll on her life.
