“The Humanitarian Award is an opportunity for non-profit organizations to gain significant exposure for the important work they do at no cost to them for the airtime,” says BCAB president Kevin Gemmell. “The GI Society will allow broadcasters to educate the public about the problems associated with intestinal, digestive, and liver disorders. Our association sees an opportunity to bring to the forefront issues that affect a large populace of British Columbians.”
As many as 60% of British Columbians live with gastrointestinal and liver conditions. As the Canadian leader in providing trusted, evidence-based information on all areas of the gastrointestinal tract, the GI Society is committed to improving the lives of people with GI and liver conditions, supporting research, advocating for appropriate patient access to health care, and promoting gastrointestinal and liver health.
