    • Bowmanville resident Mike Leach, who received vascular care from the Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) after discovering he had diabetic ulcers on his feet and obstructed blood flow in his legs, needed two separate surgeries months apart from each other. With a hybrid operating room at PRHC, Leach would have been able to have both surgeries done at the same time, reducing not only risks and recovery time, but the worry he and his family experienced before and between the surgeries. Leach is supporting the PRHC Foundation's $70 million Campaign for PRHC and sharing his story to help the regional hospital make the state-of-the-art advancement required to provide even better lifesaving care to vascular patients close to home.
