Episode 114: Annie Grenon’s family legacy for a healthier tomorrow

October 1, 2025

Annie Grenon has strong ties to The Ottawa Hospital.  She was a patient for kidney care years ago and, more recently, for a pulmonary embolism. She’s also seen both of her grandchildren born at the Civic Campus, and her late husband received cancer care.

It was when her husband was diagnosed with a rare cancer that their family came together to discuss leaving a gift in their will to The Ottawa Hospital. It was about helping other families in the future — forward-thinking to create a healthier tomorrow.
