Taylor Bailey was born with Cystic Fibrosis and is a regular at the IWK

Taylor Bailey has been an IWK patient her whole life.

She has Cystic Fibrosis, a chronic disease affecting lung function and digestion.

We met up with Taylor in her room up on the 7th floor. She was getting ready to be discharged and return home to Springhill.

Taylor requested to be admitted to the IWK to get what she calls a “tune up”, because she knew her lung function was too low.

And as you’re about to hear, one of the tell-tell signs she is doing better is she can sing again.

Taylor treated us to a song by her all-time favourite artist, Taylor Swift.

It’s patients like Taylor who are here at the IWK for the long term. They return for regular treatments and therapies.

By becoming an IWK Superstar today, you are ensuring patients receive nothing but the best care, each and every time they visit this incredible health centre.
