We chose Baffin Regional Hospital

After living in Iqaluit for a year, we had the choice of going back to Gatineau, Que., to have our baby. But we decided to have the baby here.

On Friday, Nov. 8, Isabelle Ulluriaq was born, helped by Dr. Botha. At no moment during the pregnancy, with the extraordinary follow-up and the kindness of the nurses and doctors, did we regret our choice.

Thanks to Dr. Green, Dr. Vokosuk, Dr. Finney, Dr. Knight, Dr. Brown, Dr. Vipond, and mostly Dr. Botha. We had an extraordinary experience, full of love, respect, and professionalism.

The nurses in particular performed well, over and above the call of duty. A special thank you to Towata for her support and kindness during all the follow-up appointments, to Winalda who helped us all night with labour, and to Laura for the nice explanations, and a big thank-you to all the other members of the staff.

Also big thank you to the two very nice guys who performed the ultrasounds.
