NOVEMBER 25 2019 Statements Greg Kyllo
A
Number
four
shoosh
whoa
well
Thank
You
mr.
Speaker
I
rise
in
the
House
today
to
speak
about
a
remarkable,
inspiring
woman
in
my
community
Maureen
Hoffs
team
I
knew
Maureen
is
my
daughter's
teacher.
For
years
she
taught
at
Eagle
River
secondary
in
Sikkim
mousse,
pouring
her
time
and
energy
into
being
an
exemplary
educator
and
raising
up
the
next
generation.
A
However,
12
years
ago,
her
life
was
changed
when
she
was
diagnosed
with
Parkinson's
disease,
and
a
few
years
ago
she
learned
about
deep
brain
stimulation,
DBS
a
medical
procedure
that
has
proven
to
have
incredible
results
for
Parkinson's
patients.
This
procedure
is
most
effective
as
soon
as
after
one's
diagnosis
is
possible.
The
problem
is
an
bc.
The
waitlist
for
this
procedure
could
range
from
two
to
five
years.
A
Always
an
advocate
Maureen
came
to
me
with
this
information
concern
not
just
for
own
well-being,
but
for
all
those
around
the
province
who
could
benefit
from
DBS
surgery,
but
are
missing
the
opportunity
due
to
long
weightless
times.
She
took
the
lead
and
we
work
together
to
reach
out
the
Ministry
of
Health
to
vote
this
issue
and
thanks
to
her
hard
work
and
dedication,
her
efforts
to
raise
awareness,
access
to
DBS
in
DC
has
been
dramatically
improved.
A
This
september
marine
finally
had
the
surgery
for
which
he's
been
waiting
for
years,
and
this
month
started
a
series
of
follow-up
appointments
to
learn
how
to
make
adjustments
to
help
improve
control
of
her
symptoms.
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
wish
Maureen
well
with
her
treatment,
but
also
to
thank
her
for
all
that
she
has
done
both
in
our
own
community
as
an
educator
and
for
the
province
as
a
as
a
whole.
Through
her
tireless
advocacy.
