Caring Spirit: Dr. Tang

Dr. Bao Tang has been named a Caring Spirit! Dr. Tang is a General Surgeon at Victoria General Hospital. General Surgeons treat abdominal areas like the esophagus, stomach, colon and liver. They also deal with hernias and diseases involving the skin and soft tissues.

Dr. Tang was nominated by a grateful patient who underwent colon cancer surgery three years ago and made a full recovery.  The patient felt like recognition was long overdue, so he decided to honour Dr. Tang’s exceptional care with a donation to Victoria General Hospital through the Caring Spirit program.

Please share to help acknowledge the exceptional work of our hospital teams. Over the next two weeks, we want the entire community to hear about the incredible impact our caregivers have at Royal Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals. We’ll be honouring a new Island Health Caring Spirit recipient almost every day, so follow us on Facebook to keep posted!
