B.C. cancer patient’s case highlights gaps in health care


Terry Willis says he can’t fight non-Hodgkin lymphoma while living in the Johnson Street Community building for people experiencing homelessness. Terry Willis, who is homeless and battling cancer, is shown in Victoria, Monday. Cancer Agency said it also backs the position that the Johnson Street Community building is suitable for chemotherapy patients. Its supports for residents include four mental health workers, an on-site manager, two home support workers and a health clinic. Grey Showler, health director at Victoria’s Cool Aid Society, said Willis’s health situation reveals gaps in services available to vulnerable people who require places to live that will allow them to recover from serious health issues.
