Karly’s wish for future patients to stay close to home for care Karly is one of many patients who was forced to travel hundreds of kilometers out of Northeastern Ontario to receive life-saving care. Your support of the Priority Needs fund helps us advance life-saving care and grow our services at HSN, so future patients faced with similar health complications as Karly can stay in the Northeast and close to home for the critical care they need, whenever they need it.
