Members of the Hogg family on-hand to welcome Dr. Harriman to the community. From L – R, Gordon, Joan, LaVerne, John, Linda, Alan, Dr. Kasandra Harriman, Tracy and Jackson.
Dr. Kasandra Harriman will be making the rounds in the George Street Family Practice this winter during her residency with UBC’s Faculty of Medicine. She will be taking shifts with preceptors Drs. Rachel Bright and Kim Veldhuis, with an eye to gaining additional experience in obstetrics and group practice, and getting to know the community. Dr. Harriman was recruited to the community through a novel recruitment program – the Dr. Al Hogg Family Practice Legacy Bursary
Members of the Hogg family presented the bursary during an afternoon tea reception held in the Hogg Pavilion at Peace Arch Hospital last week. All four of Al Hogg’s children were on hand to share stories about their “Papa’s” medical practice and legacy and to welcome Dr. Harriman to the community. Dr. Harriman noted that she and her husband have “been students for a long time” and they were grateful for the bursary funding to help establish themselves in the community.
The Dr. Al Hogg Family Practice Legacy Fund provides an annual bursary to a second year Family Practice Resident in a Canadian Medical School. This bursary introduces a new physician to our community through a rotation in one of the Family Practices located within our community, and it helps to recruit family physicians to White Rock and South Surrey. Information about the bursary program and an application for the 2013/2014 funds can be found on the website of Peace Arch Hospital and Community Health Foundation at www.pahfoundation.ca under “How we Help”.
