Science Rendezvous, held at Kingston’s Slush Puppie Place on May 10, drew thousands of curious minds—and among the bustling crowd was the University Hospitals Kingston Foundation (UHKF) booth showcasing the diverse worlds of science, art and mental health.

This August, Megan Wheatley will lace up her hiking boots, take a deep breath and begin a life-affirming trek up Mount Kilimanjaro—the highest mountain in Africa. 

For Megan, the climb isn’t just about reaching the 19,341-foot summit. It’s a symbolic journey—a way to honour how far she’s come since surviving a traumatic brain injury at the age of 17. It’s also a powerful fundraiser in support of Community Brain Injury Services (CBIS) at Providence Care.

This year's prostate cancer research fund recipient is Dr. John Allingham.

UHKF would like to remind the public that it is hosting a door-to-door campaign at the moment. They are trained, professional canvassers visiting neighbourhoods throughout Kingston.

Five exceptional individuals and groups whose passion and commitment have helped transform health care are being honoured with awards from UHKF.

Dr. Gord Boyd is one of several musical doctors performing at a fundraising concert on June 20 to support Donation Advisor, an artificial intelligence program to improve organ donation.

Kelly Hallett was stunned when she was named the CFL Fan of the Year. Despite living in Mallorytown, Ont., loves the Winnipeg Blue Bombers fan and her incredible personal story won over the voters. 

But for Kelly, the honour is more than just a recognition of her devotion to football—it is an opportunity to give back.
