Wesley Phillips
As Lauren Phillips woke up 25-weeks into her pregnancy, she couldn’t ignore the feeling that something was off that morning. Listening to her intuition, the 31-year-old Port Moody resident and her husband made their way to Royal Columbian Hospital to make sure everything was okay. Little did they know, it would mark the beginning of a four-month stay involving an emergency c-section and an extended stretch in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) following Wesley’s birth.
Russ Moore
Russ Moore started to notice a slight shortness of breath that would come and go. The moments were so fleeting that he initially shrugged them off. But when the sensation returned one morning in late July 2025, while he was alone at his mother’s home in North Delta, he reached for his phone. His next memory is of waking up in a daze and bleeding from his head. Mustering the strength to call 911, Russ would soon find himself in Royal Columbian Hospital’s Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CSICU), critically ill and connected to a piece of medical equipment often considered a final attempt to save a life
Anesthesia Meets Space
Over three days in September 2025, Royal Columbian Hospital anesthesiologist Dr. Matthew Turnock fulfilled a childhood dream while helping to advance medical knowledge when he experienced weightlessness. Supported by the European Space Agency, the Canadian Space Agency, and an innovation grant established by Royal Columbian’s anesthesiologists through the Foundation, Dr. Turnock travelled to France with team members Dr. Alex Suen, Dr. Siobhan Wagner, and Adrian Tabari to conduct experiments aboard the Airbus A310 Zero G. His research explored how anesthetic drugs behave in microgravity, a question that could have implications for future space missions and medical care beyond Earth.
