Client Spotlight
CALGARY REFUGEE HEALTH SOCIETY
For 20 years, the Calgary Refugee Health Clinic has been dedicated to caring for Calgary's newcomers, offering comprehensive healthcare for children and families. As of April 1, 2025, the clinic will no longer receive support from its sponsors, impacting its ability to provide healthcare to future refugees in Calgary. In November 2024, PARKER PR hosted an inspiring event featuring a panel discussion, bringing together experts in the field to talk about the importance of supporting refugees in the city. In response, four dedicated doctors have come together to form the Calgary Refugee Health Society, working to prevent hospitals from getting overcrowded and ensure that healthcare remains accessible for all.
WOMEN IN NEED SOCIETY (WINS)
We are thrilled to partner with Women in Need Society (WINS) in celebration of International Women’s Day and the #SHEFOUND campaign. The #SHEFOUND campaign highlights the powerful stories of volunteers, donors, shoppers and employees at WINS, showcasing their journeys and meaningful community connections that demonstrate WINS’ impact on women in Calgary. We are proud to collaborate with organizations that uplift and give back to the community.
