As well, during this time Jason’s grandfather, Tung Yen Lui, suffered a stroke that disabled the functioning of the body’s left side; Incontinent and Immobile. Home support was put in place, but obviously assistance was limited. Consequently, a lot of home care resided on Jason. This provided valuable experience and exposure to the health care services at a young age.
While still in High School, Jason volunteered over 150 hours in the Extended Care Unit (ECU) at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Heather site. The facility is now closed down and re-opening as a Facility called the "Campus of Care".
