TB Vets, in partnership with Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, is helping critical care physician Dr. Steve Reynolds and his team of respiratory researchers to explore how to deliver better care to patients on mechanical ventilation. "For critically ill or injured patients, mechanical ventilation can be a life-saving intervention," notes Dr. Reynolds. "However, it comes with its own risks and complications. With our research, we are trying to push the envelope and find wa...ys to prevent the potential harms associated with breathing machines." TB Vets is committed to providing $200,000 over five years to fund the professorship. Thank you TB Vets donors for helping us support this world-class research. "Research is at the core of the fight for respiratory care, which has been our mission for more than 75 years," says TB Vets CEO Kandys Merola

Honouring and remembering our Veterans today. Both our parents served during the second WW. Dad in Europe and Mom in Canada.

Lest we forget.

The thread that connects TB Vets CEO Kandys Merola to her decades of volunteer work with the Royal Canadian Legion is clear: it’s an affiliation that runs strongly through her family. Ms. Merola’s mother, Catherine (nee-Wilkinson) Schaff, joined the Canadian Women’s Army Corp. during the Second World War. As Remembrance Day nears, we're paying tribute to veterans like Catherine who served as a "bomb girl" and driver during the war: https://bit.ly/tbv-inspired55

Remembering our nursing pioneers: Major Margaret Macdonald was responsible for recruiting nurses to serve overseas in the First World War. The nurses shared the same miserable living conditions of the troops, and showed the same bravery. They cared for more than half a million soldiers in Britain, France, Greece, Malta and Egyptand aboard hospital ships. Nursing sisters at clearing stations were just behind the front lines and exposed to danger from enemy shellfire and the diseases and illnesses that also stalked the troops. #frontlinemedicalheroes
