On November 28, 2023 the BCHS Foundation welcomed physicians, staff, and donors to celebrate the opening of the newly renovated Pediatric Acute Referral Service (PARS) and Bilirubin (Bili) clinic at the Brantford General site.
“Thanks to the generous contributions from our community, the BCHS Foundation was able to contribute $575,000 in support of this much-needed PARS renovation. We are so incredibly grateful!” noted BCHS Foundation Executive Director Kari Wilson.
Also on hand with remarks for the PARS Celebration were Erin Sleeth, BCHS Interim President and CEO; Dr. Jessica Dooley, Chief & Medical Director of Pediatrics; Peter Quinlan, BCHS Board of Director Chair; and Dr. Lee Ferrao, BCHS Foundation Board of Directors Chair.

“We recognize that there is plenty of competition for philanthropic dollars from all of you for many worthwhile causes. I cannot stress enough how much we value and appreciate our supporters. This newly renovated PARS clinic is just one example of how your donor dollars make a difference.” noted Kari Wilson.
