Her son’s condition advanced and he is now part of both Complex Care and Palliative Care in Ottawa.

Stephanie used her experience to become involved as a Family Partner in various organizations. This includes Co-chairing the former Champlain LHIN PFAC, sitting on the Steering Committee for the Kids Come First Health Team and supporting the launch of Kids Health Alliance.
