Canadian Association of the Deaf announced about Elaine Campbell:
Elaine Campbell, who has often served as CAD-ASC's
delegate to palliative care issues, has been
named to the Order of Ontario for her pioneering work in palliative
care for Deaf Ontarians.
Elaine is a wonderful leader and
supporter in the Deaf community, both here in Ottawa and in her
native Maritimes. She has worked incredibly hard for years and years
and years to create palliative
care programs for Deaf people, and
importantly, to make it possible for Deaf people themselves
to access the training to become palliative care workers.
Her appointment balances the
appointment of a cochlear implant surgeon who was also given the Order
of Ontario today.
