HALIFAX - Our hearts are saddened with the passing of Dr. Richard Goldbloom - a dear friend of the IWK Foundation. Dr. Goldbloom was the cornerstone of the IWK and he truly impacted everyone he met. His legacy of compassion, kindness, commitment to lifelong learning and world-class care will forever guide the IWK and will be felt eternally by the patients and families who rely on the IWK.
Dr. Goldbloom’s connection to donors was profound. He was so proud of his role as the Chair of the Founders Club through which he interacted with thousands of donors, both personally and through his special handwritten letters and notes.
We are all better for having known Dr. Goldbloom and we extend our sincere sympathies to his family.
