Pam Hedderson, a working mother and wife, truly embodies what a caregiver is all about.

As a result, she has been presented with the Caregiver of the Year Award from the Stroke Recovery Association of B.C. When her husband, John suffered a stroke in his early 30’s Pam was thrust into the role of a caregiver. Pam suddenly went from being a partner in a loving marriage to being the decision maker, primary parent, therapist, advocate and more.

When Pam took this role on she did not complain. She did what she had to do as she cared for and supported her husband. In conjunction with this round the clock responsibility, she raised two young daughters and worked full-time to provide for the family.

Both Pam and John have been tireless in promoting and volunteering for the Campbell River Stroke Recovery Association. Were it not for her support, the Campbell River Stroke Recovery Association would not be where it is today.

The Campbell River Stroke Recovery Association meets at St. Peters Anglican Church every Tuesday from 9:30 to 1 p.m. For more information call 250-830-3144.
