About Peggy Stewart

Peggy began her healthcare career in the Neurology Department of the London, Ontario hospital system, continued with studies at the Maudsley Hospital in England and returned to a position in the Epilepsy Department at University Hospital. Then, as Executive Director of Epilepsy Ontario Midwest, Peggy developed the fledgling organization into a fully staffed and recognized source of information and support for community outreach. Peggy also went back to school, earning a sociology degree from the University of Western Ontario with a major in family medical studies.

The need for good neurological home care for patients recovering from brain injuries led her to start the WeCare Home Health Services franchise in London and St Thomas in 1993. Meanwhile, Peggy has continued to be active in the local community, as a member of the Forest City Kiwanis, and as a member of the board of the Brain Injury Association of London & Region for the past five years, she is in her third year as Chairman of the Board.

In 2002, after successfully achieving full accreditation status, Peggy sold her WeCare company. Having become a certified real estate agent, she now specializes in accessible housing – homes that have been modified to give people with medical conditions the independence and quality of life they need.
