Our Story
Finlay’s Voice is named after Finlay, a beloved son who tragically lost his life after a devastating experience in an emergency room. In honor of his memory, we strive to bring about urgent and compassionate reform in Canada’s ERs. Our dedication is fueled by the belief that no family should endure what Finlay's family have. We aim to raise awareness about the systemic failures in our ERs by sharing real stories and experiences, shedding light on the cracks in a system meant to provide care.
Sepsis Awareness & Care
In the coming weeks we will be taking a closer look into ways in which we can bring awareness to Sepsis care.
In 2017, the World Health Organization identified sepsis as a global health priority. 8 years on and there are still too many deaths caused by this silent killer.
Keep checking in to find out more as we research this further.
How You Can Help
You can help by becoming part of our movement, amplifying our message, and advocating for reform in Canada’s ERs. Your actions can drive the change our emergency rooms desperately need.
![💔 Finlay’s mom shared her story on @thecloserlookpodcast — a brave and heartbreaking conversation about the 8 hours her 16-year-old son waited in the ER before he passed away.
🙏 Thank you to hosts Scott Sexsmith and Michael Friscolanti for the compassion and space to speak this truth, no matter how painful.
This fight is about protecting children in emergency rooms. It’s about Finlay’s Law.
