The Betty-Ann and Wade Heggie Lectureship in
Integrative Medicine
 
In 1985, after suffering through two years of acute fatigue, Betty-Ann had the dubious distinction of being the first person in Saskatchewan to be diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Syndrome. After conventional medical techniques repeatedly failed to alleviate her condition, Betty-Ann turned to meditation, and it successfully helped her overcome her illness. Since then, Betty-Ann has been a believer in the power of integrative medicine - a philosophy that blends traditional medicine with holistic techniques - and frequently takes part in alternative therapies at health spas around the world.
 
Betty-Ann recently decided to spread her message by endowing a lectureship in integrative medicine at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Medicine. The lectureship will provide continuing education opportunities for faculty, residents and practitioners in the field of integrative medicine, and provide resources to help bring high-profile physicians to the College of Medicine to address current topics in integrative medicine.
