What does IWK stand for?

Answer 1

Here's what IWK stands for at the IWK Health Centre:

The IWK Health Centre is located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and provides care to women, children, youth and families in Canada's Maritime provinces. IWK stands for Izaak Walton Killam. The original Izaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children opened in Halifax in 1970, with the help of a donation of $8 million from Dorothy Johnson Killam, wife of the late Izaak Walton Killam.

In 1996, the IWK Hospital for Children and the adjacent Grace Maternity Hospital (operated and funded by the Salvation Army) merged and were known as the IWK Grace Children's Hospital until the early 2000s when the institution shortened its name to the IWK Health Centre.
