When Cheryl Miller spent eight days at the Brantford General Hospital (BGH) just outside of her home in Six Nations, Ont., in December, she had a surprise visit to her hospital room that made her stay so much better.

One of the nurses had asked Miller if it was OK for Leigh Staats, the hospital’s new Indigenous patient navigator, to come by. And because Miller hadn’t had any visitors due to COVID-19 restrictions, she welcomed the idea, which also came with a much-appreciated toiletry kit.

“We gabbed back and forth and of course we come to find out we’re related,” Miller said.
