James, a four-year-old from Alberta, faced a life-threatening Group A strep infection in 2019. After cardiac arrest, he was transferred to Edmontons Stollery Childrens Hospital via ECMO, a machine that oxygenates blood outside the body. Despite a fifty percent survival rate, James recovered, thanks to the Stollery programs expertise. Recently, the program earned the platinum center of excellence award, and James is now a thriving seven-year-old.
