Dr Patricia Clugston—A Spirit of Determination

Dr Patricia Clugston was a British Columbia native who completed her plastic surgery residency training in Vancouver in 1993 before pursuing a fellowship in Nashville with Dr Patrick Maxwell in 1994. When Dr Clugston returned to Vancouver, she helped to establish a comprehensive and renowned breast reconstruction program. She spent her career advocating for and working towards better treatment options for women seeking breast reconstruction. As a determined surgeon and accomplished athlete, Dr Clugston was truly a tour de force in all aspects of her life. Patty, as she was affectionately known by her colleagues, loved her job. Dr Clugston was an avid advocate for medical education and an outstanding clinical researcher and speaker that established her as a shining star in Canadian plastic surgery. Patty had always lived life to the fullest and was determined that scleroderma would not change this. Her sharp wit, intellectual curiosity, and pragmatism masked an incredible courage as she fought bravely against a cruel disease. Dr Clugston died on March 1, 2005, at the age of 46 surrounded by the loving company of her husband, friends, and family at the Vancouver General Hospital. The Dr Patricia Clugston Chair in Breast Reconstruction was established in her name to honour her legacy and continue to improve the care of patients with breast cancer.
