2012 Donor report

HealtH Care, transformeD.

In 2012, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation celebrated 25 years of philanthropic support to our six hospitals and cancer centre. It was truly a privilege to mark this milestone and pay tribute to the thousands of donors and volunteers who laid the foundation upon which we continue to build. Each year we find it difficult to select, from amongst our many supporters, those to be featured in our Donor Report. We also find it challenging to select, from the many programs, equipment purchases and research initiatives, those stories that highlight the true impact of your gifts. Those we have chosen, in this year’s Donor Report and its accompanying Impact Report, are representative of the wide variety of support that we are privileged to receive. The programs and equipment that are profiled also serve as representative examples of the many ways in which we have invested your contributions to enable our partners at Hamilton Health Sciences to provide excellence in care to the complete and complex range of patients that come through their doors every single day of the year. We are truly grateful to all of our donors who contributed to the $17.8-million we raised in 2012, which enabled us to transfer $8.4-million to support the development of new patient units and programs, purchase essential equipment, fund critical education for medical and allied professional staff, and enable the life-altering medical research that takes place across Hamilton Health Sciences.

As the regional role of Hamilton Health Sciences continues to expand, the leadership they play in providing the expertise and knowledge to smaller communities through the region continues to grow. This transfer of skills and talent throughout the region is setting a new foundation upon which we look to build for the future.We would like to pay special tribute to Michael Schwenger for his tremendous contributions as Board Chair. Michael has been a strong advocate for

Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation and has guided us through a very challenging economic climate. His personal and professional commitment to our work and our team is truly appreciated. We are grateful that Michael will continue to serve on the Board. We look forward to welcoming George McCarter into his role as Board Chair as we continue to build for the future and execute our strategic plan.

message from miCHael sCHwenger, BoarD CHair Hamilton HealtH sCienCes founDation

It is hard to believe that my three-year term as Board Chair for Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation has come to an end. It has been a very exciting and rewarding time in the history of The Foundation. I am pleased that, despite a very challenging economic climate, The Foundation has repeatedly achieved its goals. This fact alone speaks to the tireless dedication and commitment of Pearl, her entire staff, and the generosity of donors throughout the region. In addition to this success, a five-year strategic plan has been developed and is being actively followed. I feel privileged to have represented The Foundation at a wide variety of events in the community where I have had the opportunity to meet so many individuals who have been touched by the tremendous care provided at Hamilton Health Sciences; care that has been enhanced through The Foundation’s investments into equipment, research, education and redevelopment. I have had the ability to see first-hand, the impact of donor dollars at work – and it is truly rewarding.

I would like to express my gratitude to the Board Members with whom I have been honoured to serve. In particular, I would like to thank Keith McIntyre, Andy Skrypniak and Mark Hunter who have left the Board this year. As I complete my term and hand the reigns over to George McCarter, President, Pearson Dunn Insurance, I am confident in his ability to provide strong leadership to the Board as we strive to achieve our goal of health care, transformed. In addition, I would like to thank our partner Boards including

Hamilton Health Sciences, Hamilton Health Sciences Volunteer Association and Bay Area Health Trust.To all the donors, volunteers and dedicated staff who support the essential work of The Foundation, I extend my heartfelt thank you.

our CreeD Each dawn brings into our world a new mosaic of people, patients, staff, and critical needs. Needs for funding to support patient care, medical equipment, specialized programs, education and research. It is a unique blend of needs that inspires us to do our very best.While we are a mosaic, each one of us unique in our skills and talents, we are united in our desire to make a difference as we bring our own passion and commitment to our roles. It is our desire to inspire those we encounter on our daily journey to join with us, as we raise funds to support our region’s health and well-being. We seek to inspire by telling the stories of our patients and our staff. They are the friends, families and loved ones of people who rely on the care we support. It is their stories that have the power to influence and transform an idea or thought into a gift.Gifts come in many forms, each has its own unique value and role in supporting our Foundation. We remain focused on inspiring the confidence of the community as their charity of choice. A charity that welcomes all contributions great and small that will provide for the needs of our hospitals. A contribution that enables each hospital in our family to have the equipment and environment that enables caring and compassionate health care. An environment, where through funding for world-leading research, the next treatment, cause or cure can be found. Each day we remain focused on those who can help us to transform a life. The life of today’s patient or tomorrow’s.Together, we are united as we commit to our goal of achieving Health Care, Transformed.

our Vision A community fully embracing the importance of health, while enabling excellence in philanthropy and the achievement of our goal of Health Care, Transformed.

a quarter Century of pHilantHropyHamilton Health Sciences Foundation celebrated 25 years of philanthropic support at our annual donor appreciation event in November. The evening included tributes to our history, recognition of our present supporters and the launch of a crucial initiative essential to our future. We also paid tribute to both TD Bank Group and Hamilton Health Sciences Volunteer Association for their long-standing, continuous support of our work.TD Bank has supported McMaster Children’s Hospital and indeed Hamilton Health Sciences for over 20 years. At the event, we recognized more than $2.8-million in cumulative giving by both TD Bank and their customers.Our second honouree was Hamilton Health Sciences Volunteer Association, a diverse organization, and wonderful partner to The Foundation throughout our mutual history. The Volunteer Association has provided support in so many ways, including weekend long Telethons, and early morning broadcasts. While events are one way they have supported us behind the scenes, their support goes much deeper. We collaborate on the “Family Grants” program where we pool funds to support the purchase of essential patient equipment that ranges from blood pressure machines to commodes, vital sign monitors, wheelchairs and walkers, as of course the government does not fund the equipment needs of our hospitals.Recognized as the largest and most successful Volunteer Association in Canada, we are truly honoured to thank our partners for their tremendous support, having contributed nearly $18-million

through Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation to support patient care, education and research across Hamilton Health Sciences.Throughout the evening, collages of historic photos decorated the walls. Some of those photos can be found in the pages of this report. Today’s supporters were recognized through the virtual unveiling of our new donor walls and accompanying electronic kiosks. Our future was touched upon as we announced the launch of our new endowment campaign. With currently $10-million in endowed funds under management, we are embarking on an initiative to grow that crucial base of long-term support to $20-million by 2020.

partnering for reDeVelopmentAmongst our many partner organizations, we are honoured to include Bay Area Health Trust. With the ongoing redevelopment at McMaster University Medical Centre, Bay Area Health Trust has supported the purchase of

bedside patient monitors and an X-ray unit for the Diagnostic Imaging department. Both of these gifts, totalling $1-million help to meet the essential needs of adult and pediatric patients who share this site.

We are very fortunate to have such a broad base of donors who have embraced our cause, and made the act of giving an art that is unique and ever-evolving in our community. We are grateful for each and every one of you. It is through your generous gifts that we are able to support the continuous transformation of health care across Hamilton Health Sciences.

The art of giving takes many forms: we see individuals drop coins into our “Pennies for Patients” coin wells and boxes; our Care4 partners contribute a portion of their sales proceeds; annual donors subscribe to monthly withdrawals; and some have left a lasting legacy through an estate gift. There are many event sponsors; grateful patients of dedicated hospital employees; and families and friends of patients who organize their own third party events like The Aidan Teague Softball Classic organized by Neil and Melanie Teague in honour of their son, a premature infant cared for in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital. In seven years, they have raised nearly $100,000.To our many tireless donors, volunteers, and advocates: THANK YOU.

inVesting in staff eDuCationHamilton Health Sciences is a leading teaching hospital committed to evidence-based and patient-centred care, as such, ongoing education is essential. The Foundation is committed to investing in continuing education and professional development. As the result of several endowments and gifts, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation disbursed $377,000 to support a range of education initiatives for staff and medical professionals across the sites, bringing our five-year contributions to nearly $2.1-million. The scholarships, prizes and bursaries that we award span the range of clinical practice, and each represents a long-term commitment from a donor to Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation. Just some of the awards that were celebrated in 2012 include: The Health Professional Bursaries in conjunction with the Hamilton Health Sciences Volunteer Association, The Richard and Mary Pelling Bursary and Scholarship, The Dr. Henry Chaim Witelson Memorial Prize in Ophthalmology, SPACELABS Health Care Education Fund, and The Grant I. Budden Scholarship Award.

We are extremely proud to support the medical research program that spans Hamilton Health Sciences; a program whose impact has been recognized as number one in Canada and number seven in the world. In 2012, The Foundation contributed almost $1.75-million to the life-altering research that takes place across our sites, bringing our five-year contributions to nearly $13.2-million. This support takes many forms including the development of Academic Research Chairs, such as the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Chair in Experimental Cancer Therapeutics, whose inauguration with Dr. Paola Muti we celebrated in 2012.Proceeds from the Festival of Lights at St. Peter’s Hospital are designated to support McMaster University Medical Sciences PhD candidate, Janet Pritchard’s work on improving care for seniors by increasing osteoporosis awareness and fracture prevention among family physicians and patients. The annual Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation Research Gala, which honoured Dr. Michael H. Boyle, PhD, supported the New Investigators Fund and Early Career Awards programs essential to the development of the next generation of medical researchers. In addition, the well-established Grant Distribution Program at the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre funded a broad range of cancer-related research and education programs.

enDowment supports stuDent researCH Following the sudden death of their son Stuart, in 2001 from a gastrointestinal hemorrhage thought to have been secondary to cancer of the liver, Drs. Gerald and May Cohen established an endowed fund to honour his memory. In the subsequent years, the couple, both retired physicians who worked and taught at Hamilton Health Sciences, continued to contribute to the Stuart Jay Cohen Memorial Fund. “As educators, we thought it important to support an educational and research initiative that would impact patient care by inspiring excellence in the next generation of physicians and caregivers,” they say.The fund, having reached maturity, provides annual support for the Students’ Research Day in Oncology at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre. This June, students from across all disciplines were invited to showcase their innovative cancer research projects. Presentations were divided into two groups, Clinical Research and Basic Science Research, with awards presented to first and second place winners in each category.

After a workplace accident sent him tumbling two stories to the ground, Gino was airlifted to the Level I Trauma Centre at Hamilton General Hospital. The Welland area contractor suffered massive injuries in the fall, including a fractured pelvis and shoulder, nine broken ribs and a punctured lung, and needed urgent medical attention. “This was an incredibly scary and stressful time for me and my family,” says Gino, “but knowing I was in the hands of experts was very reassuring.”6

DeVeloping worlD-Class talent in VasCular surgeryWith the help of the WB Family Foundation, Hamilton General Hospital has cemented its reputation for having one of the country’s premier vascular surgery programs.In 2005, the private foundation made a $1-million endowed gift to The Foundation establishing the Beamish Family Chair in Peripheral Vascular Surgery. The major investment was further accented by a commitment to make an annual $40,000 gift to fund a Traveling Fellowship in Vascular Surgery.The Traveling Fellowship has allowed our surgical staff to access specialized educational and training opportunities. This year, fellowship funds allowed Hamilton General Hospital clinician Dr. John Harlock to pursue advanced training in

vascular surgery as part of an exchange program with Stanford University Hospital in California. The exchange program, unique in North America, was enabled thanks to the relationships forged by another Hamilton General surgeon during a visit also supported by fellowship funds.Dr. Jacques Tittley, who has held the Beamish Family Chair in Peripheral Vascular Surgery since its inception, has been very vocal about the impact the fellowship has had on the program.“The opportunities made possible by the fellowship have enhanced patient care by keeping our clinicians and surgeons informed on the latest surgical techniques and technology,” he says. “It has also enabled the wealth of knowledge and expertise developed at Hamilton Health Sciences to be shared at a global level.”

On November 13, representatives from Dufferin Construction Company made a visit to Hamilton General Hospital to announce a major funding commitment. A long-standing supporter of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, Dufferin Construction made a $100,000 donation in support of patient care at The General to commemorate the company’s 100th Anniversary.

“Given our history in the region, we felt the best way to honour this milestone was by giving back to the communities in which we all work and live,” said Wayne Lazzarato, Senior Vice-President, Dufferin Construction Company.The gift will be used to purchase priority medical equipment throughout the hospital and will also fund two key renovation projects: the conversion of the eighth floor sunroom into a patient lounge and dining room and the creation of a “transition room” to provide additional comfort and privacy for patients and their families nearing the end of their lives.

top CarDiologist retires

Dr. Doug Holder, Interventional Cardiologist and friend of The Foundation, retired from clinical practice at Hamilton General Hospital in 2012. Dr. Holder joined the Hospital in 1976, after being recruited by McMaster University to help establish its Department of Cardiology. He started the Hospital’s coronary angioplasty program, performing the first such procedure in the city in 1982, and played a key role in building its leadership in the field of minimally invasive cardiac interventions.During his more than 35 years at the Hospital,

Dr. Holder held multiple leadership positions including Heart Investigation Unit Director and, most recently, Director of the Cardiac and Vascular Program. He has also been the recipient of numerous awards including a Cornerstone Award and the Dr. Stephen Garnett Award for Lifetime Achievement. Dr. Holder is an avid supporter of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, having served terms as a member of both our Board of Directors and the Hamilton General Hospital Foundation Council. Over the years, he has demonstrated a deep commitment to patient care and the work of the Foundation, making several significant gifts and acting as a founding member of the Adrian Yaffe Leadership Giving Society for which we are extremely grateful.

surgeon’s gift pays triBute to fatHer

In tribute to his father Anthony, who passed away in 2012, vascular surgeon Dr. David Szalay and family made a significant donation to The Foundation. The gift, made in appreciation for the outstanding care his father received at Hamilton General Hospital, will establish a named fund in his dad’s honour. Anthony (Tony) was born in Hungary but left shortly after the Second World War. After residing for short periods in Rome, Brazil, and Montreal, he eventually settled near Caledonia. He spent the rest of his life living and working in the Hamilton area and developed a lifelong bond and affection for a city that was a world away from where he was born. Anthony and his brother Emery (who predeceased him in 2005) were both affected by heart disease in their later years and became well known to the Cardiac Program at The General. The brothers were always very appreciative of the exemplary care, and access to the latest technology, which provided them both with many years of quality time with their family and friends.The benefits of access to contemporary care and medical advances were not lost to the Szalay family, who recognize the importance of giving back to the hospital and community. Dr. Szalay hopes the fund will help support the creation of a hybrid vascular interventional suite equipped with the latest in imaging technology. Hybrid procedures combine the best of open surgical methods with endovascular techniques to provide optimal treatment for a wide range of conditions including aneurysms and blockages of the aorta and peripheral arteries.“There is a high prevalence of cardiac and vascular disease here in the local community and across

the region, so the impact of a suite like this would be huge” says Dr. Szalay. “Bringing the latest technology to Hamilton would continue our nationally recognized leadership in minimally invasive

procedures for the treatment of these life-threatening disorders.”

Kathy is thankful for the outstanding care provided in the chemotherapy suite at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre. The 41-year-old mother was diagnosed with breast cancer last fall and will undergo surgery, radiation and chemotherapy as part of her aggressive treatment plan.“All the staff here are great,” she says, “but the chemo nurses really stand out. They are so understanding and go above and beyond to make you comfortable.”10

“i CoulDn’t Be more grateful for tHe Care i reCeiVeD”In 2011, poultry farmer Ron Clark was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a potentially fatal cancer of the blood. Following aggressive treatment, that included surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, Ron is now in remission, a reality he credits to the expert care at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre. What stood out most for Ron was the responsiveness of his hematologist Dr. Graeme Fraser and the entire staff at Juravinski, and how rapidly they moved him to treatment following diagnosis.“At my first appointment, he told me I would need a bone marrow biopsy to make sure the cancer hadn’t spread to my bones,” says Ron. “I told him I wanted to do it as soon as possible, so he performed the procedure that same day.”

Ron was so impressed with the high-level of care he received, that he and wife Nancy decided to make a significant donation to fund the purchase of three urgently needed Apheresis machines for the Hospital. These machines, which allow for the collection of stem-cells from the blood, are essential to the treatment of patients with blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.“Though I didn’t require a stem-cell transplant as part of my care, in talking with Dr. Fraser I came to understand just how important these machines are in the treatment of other hematology patients,” he says. “I couldn’t be more grateful for the care I received and this seemed like the perfect way to show my appreciation.”

Powered by the strength of more than 800 participants, 3,000 plus donors and 80 teams, the 5th annual BRIGHT Run was once again an overwhelming success. This fundraiser, held on September 8 at the Dundas Valley Conservation Area, raised approximately $275,000, driving the event’s five-year tally to well over $1.5-million.Proceeds from the BRIGHT Run, which stands for Breast Cancer Research In Greater Hamilton Today, fund research projects at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre focused on improving breast cancer prevention, detection, treatment and care.Since its inception, the event has helped finance several patient trials and studies at Juravinski and has provided funding to support the acquisition of a 3-D ultrasound machine for the planned CIBC Breast Assessment Centre.

Thanks to support from 32 area Shoppers Drug Mart locations, patients visiting the planned CIBC Breast Assessment Centre will have their own resource centre where they can learn about breast cancer and access educational information.Through a partnership with The Foundation, the retailer’s Tree of Life campaign enables customers and employees to contribute directly to this important facility by donating up to $50 at the point of sale. Since 2009, when several local stores began directing funds towards the CIBC Breast Assessment Centre, more than $155,000 has been raised in support of the project, including $56,735 in 2012 alone.The Patient Resource Centre will help breast cancer patients, and those waiting on a diagnosis, to find accurate and reliable information about the disease by providing access to relevant, current and credible sources. It will house a selection of reference materials including videos, books, articles and brochures and will also have two dedicated computer terminals where patients can source information online.

Dr. Paola Muti and Dr. Punam Rana received a thematic funding grant for their study measuring the effects of Vitamin D and Melatonin on the growth of breast tumours.

After the five centimetre tumour in her left leg was diagnosed as sarcoma, a fast-growing cancer, Arlene Manherz began researching to learn all she could about the disease. She did not like what she read.“My particular cancer was very aggressive and had a poor prognosis,” she says. “I also learned though, that I was in the best hands possible – Juravinski was one of just a handful of centres in North America with multiple sarcoma specialists.”When chemotherapy failed to halt the cancer’s growth, Arlene opted to undergo surgery to remove the lower portion of her femur where the tumour was located. During the complex eight-hour procedure, surgeons removed the cancerous section of bone and performed a total knee replacement, maintaining the appearance and function of her leg.In gratitude of the care she received at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre, Arlene and her husband Robert made a significant donation in support of the Orthopedics program. As a result of this funding, the Hospital will be able to purchase several high-priority pieces of surgical equipment.

Twins, Genevieve and William were born on December 22, three months premature. Weighing only 1080 and 1000 grams (respectively) at birth, these tiny, vulnerable babies require the specialized, life-saving care provided by the expert staff in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital. “We place a lot of faith in the doctors and nurses here,” says father, Gareth. “We are extremely grateful for the outstanding care our babies have received at McMaster Children’s Hospital.”

“we knew tHat aVa was in gooD HanDs at maCkiDs”For five-and-a-half year old Ava De Angelis of Kitchener, what started as a “tummy ache” on a cold Wednesday in January quickly progressed to a health crisis. Increasingly concerned about their daughter, parents Hera and Robert brought her to the local hospital, where she was admitted for further assessment. By Friday morning, Ava’s health had deteriorated significantly – she had an extremely high fever and her blood pressure had dropped dangerously low. Doctors made the decision to transfer her by ambulance to the Michael G. DeGroote Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at McMaster Children’s Hospital.Ava was diagnosed with septic shock, a life-threatening condition caused by an infection in the body. Doctors treated her with intravenous antibiotics and other medications to help drain fluid that was building in her lungs. She was also placed on a ventilator to help her breathe.

Hera and Robert were frightened, but felt reassured knowing their daughter was receiving the very best care from pediatric intensive care specialists. “Right from the beginning, we knew that Ava was in good hands at MacKids,” they said. The spacious and comfortable private room, complete with a fold-out couch, meant they could stay overnight with Ava – helping to reduce everyone’s stress. Five days after her admission to the PICU, Ava was breathing on her own and able to speak to her parents. With the potential health crisis averted, her relieved parents can look forward to lots of quality “cuddle time” with their precious daughter, thanks to the life-saving care at McMaster Children’s Hospital.

Former patients and their families joined with hospital staff to celebrate the official opening of the Michael G. DeGroote Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital on June 14.

The opening of the 12-bed unit is good news for the nearly 600 children each year who require the critical care provided by the specialists in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). McMaster Children’s Hospital is the sole provider of intensive care for the most critically ill and injured children in south-central Ontario. Michael G. DeGroote’s generous $10-million donation enabled the state-of-the-art facility to be built. Each patient room is spacious and private, providing ample room for family at the bedside. There are two family lounges, one overnight family room and one private family room adjoining each patient room. This family-friendly environment helps to reduce stress on both patients and families during an emotionally trying time.

On April 25, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation and Scotiabank celebrated the launch of the 20th annual Scotiabank Smiles for MacKids in support of McMaster Children’s Hospital. On hand for the launch were a number of Scotiabank “poster children” from the last 20 years along with Megan Cousins, a special MacKid from Brantford. This highly successful fundraising campaign is supported by over 1,000 Scotiabank employees from across the region who volunteer their time and talent to organize fundraisers and participate in the sale of “Smiles for MacKids” lapel buttons and plush toys. Scotiabank, together with its customers have raised more than $5.6-million for important projects across Hamilton Health Sciences. While the majority of the funds have been directed to McMaster Children’s Hospital, these funds have also benefited cardiac and cancer patients.

generosity from CHilDren’s miraCle network partnersAs a member of Children’s Miracle Network, McMaster Children’s Hospital is supported by a group of community-minded companies, such as Walmart Canada Inc. and TD Bank Group, that engage their employees and customers in a variety of fundraising initiatives throughout the year. Through the generosity and creativity of these corporate partners, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation received more than $1-million to support priority funding needs.In 2012, TD’s long-standing commitment to Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation was recognized at our

25th anniversary celebration held in November. Over the past twenty years, TD has generously given a cumulative total of $2.8-million. Walmart associates in our region had much to be proud of in 2012. The Walmart Walk for Miracles drew over 600 participants and raised in excess of $55,000. The retailer also raised $133,000 through the sale of Children’s Miracle Network balloon icons.Many thanks to Children’s Miracle Network and all of our corporate partners for their ongoing commitment and dedication to child health at McMaster Children’s Hospital.

BunDle of joy arriVes at mCmaster uniVersity meDiCal CentreA special “bundle of joy” was delivered to the Labour and Delivery Department at McMaster University Medical Centre in 2012. A combination of donor dollars and support from Hamilton Health Sciences Volunteer Association funded the purchase of priority medical equipment for the Hospital, which serves as regional centre for high-risk births. Nearly 3,000 babies are delivered at McMaster University Medical Centre each year – both low and high-risk births. Among the essential items purchased were a fetal monitor and three Panda® Infant Warmers. The new warmers have several features that enhance a

newborn’s comfort and safety. The new design eliminates the large

overhead heater, making observation of newborns easier for doctors and nurses; a built-in scale simplifies the weighing procedure. Most importantly, the Panda® Infant Warmer integrates both suction and oxygen, enabling staff to transfer vulnerable newborns directly from Labour and Delivery to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, without the need for additional equipment.

At 89, Antonio Cogonotto says that he “can’t do what he used to do.” He has difficulty maintaining his balance and has been losing weight. His family doctor referred him to St. Peter’s Hospital for assessment and treatment by a team of geriatric health care experts at the Centre for Healthy Aging. With their expertise and support, Antonio is getting stronger and soon hopes to get back to his regular daily routine. 18

“tHey make it DiffiCult for you to giVe up”Enzo Paron is a man on a mission. After suffering a serious stroke in March 2012, he is fighting to regain the use of his left arm and leg and ultimately, his independence. Fortunately, Enzo is supported by a team of experts from the Restorative Care Program including doctors, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, nutritionists and physiotherapists. This multi-disciplinary team is working to help restore his health and well-being. Twice a day, every day, Enzo goes to the gym for physiotherapy. It is grueling and sometimes discouraging, but his hard work and determination are paying off. Enzo can now walk unassisted with the use of a cane and mobility in his arm is improving.

“The staff here are excellent,” says Enzo. “They innately seem to know what you are going through and encourage you to keep on going. They make it difficult for you to give up.” Thanks to the staff of the Restorative Care Program, the support of his two children and extended family, and his own grit and determination, Enzo will eventually be able to move to an assisted living facility in his home town of Burlington. Ever the pragmatist, Enzo accepts that he will continue to face limitations as a result of the stroke. “I want to be able to do simple things that people do every day and take for granted,” he says. “I’m looking forward to walking outside and feeling the sun on my face.”

The people of Canada lost a great leader on October 19, 2012, with the passing of The Honourable Lincoln Alexander.Mr. Alexander held many positions throughout his stellar career including Member of Parliament, Federal Minister of Labour and Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario.Affectionately known as Hamilton’s “favourite son,” Mr. Alexander was beloved by people from all walks of life. His memory has a special place in the hearts of staff members, physicians and volunteers at Hamilton Health Sciences – especially those at St. Peter’s Hospital – who knew him as a passionate advocate on seniors’ health care issues.Mr. Alexander’s legacy of compassion and generosity lives on at St. Peter’s Hospital. The Alexander Pavilion, which opened in 2009 to provide specialized care to those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, was named in honour of Mr. Alexander, and in memory of his late wife Yvonne.

new funDraising initiatiVe Brings patients Comfort anD joySt. Peter’s Hospital Comfort and Joy Holiday Gift Packages, a new fundraising initiative launched during the 2012 holiday season, offered a unique alternative to traditional holiday giving.Instead of buying a gift for that “someone special” on their list, people could go to The Foundation’s website and purchase one of three symbolic gift packages, valued at $50, $100 or $250. A holiday e-card was automatically sent to the gift recipient to advise that a package had been purchased on his/her behalf. An ornament was hung on the Christmas tree in the hospital lobby for every package that was purchased.The Comfort and Joy Gift Packages, in combination with St. Peter’s annual holiday mailing, raised a total of more than $11,000. This program will be expanded to include Grandparent’s Day and the 2013 Holiday Season.

Former St. Peter’s patient, Jack Walton helped promote the Comfort and Joy Gift Packages during the holiday season.

people Helping peopleEmbracing the company’s guiding principle of “people helping people,” staff of the Hamilton Municipal Employees Credit Union (HMECU) raised funds to support enhanced care for seniors at Hamilton Health Sciences family of hospitals and cancer centre. Fifty staff and managers at seven HMECU branches participated in fundraising initiatives held throughout 2012. These included dress down days, sale of special holiday gift icons and the purchase of Comfort and Joy Gift Packages in lieu of holiday gifts. The funds raised will be used to purchase equipment and other items, such as reading magnifiers and hearing amplifiers, to enhance the care and experience for hospitalized seniors across Hamilton Health Sciences.

memorial wall reDeDiCation Brings tears anD joyFriends, families and staff members attended the official rededication of the “Celebration of Life Memorial Wall” at St. Peter’s Hospital on September 30. It was an emotional day, filled with tears and laughter as people remembered loved ones whose names are inscribed on the wall. The rededication started with a short chapel service, followed by a moving memorial celebration in the Garwood-Jones Auditorium. Rebecca Repa, President, St. Peter’s Hospital and Keith McIntyre, Chair of St. Peter’s Hospital Foundation Council, performed the official unveiling.The wall’s simple but elegant design features a single white daisy and a quote from Helen Keller: “What we

have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply, becomes a part of us.” We are grateful to those who chose to honour their loved one by making a gift to help support

the compassionate, hands-on care that is provided by the dedicated staff at St. Peter’s Hospital.

*Including support for Regional Rehabilitation Centre

a message from Hamilton HealtH sCienCes

The mission of Hamilton Health Sciences is “to provide excellent health care for the people and communities we serve and to advance health care through education and research.” In 2012, we continued our efforts to bring our mission to life on behalf of the families that live throughout the region.Amongst the celebrations in 2012, we were privileged to: open the Michael G. DeGroote Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital; celebrate the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Chair in Experimental Cancer Therapeutics at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre; unveil the final phase of the new Juravinski Hospital; and expand the number of beds in the RBC Child and Mental Health Unit. All of these programs have been supported through the tremendous efforts of Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation and its community of very committed philanthropic partners. Partnerships for which we are truly grateful.We would also like to acknowledge and thank Michael Schwenger for his leadership as Foundation Board Chair.As we started the year, Accreditation Canada recognized Hamilton Health Sciences for “10 Leading Practices” as noteworthy examples of

innovative, cost effective contributions to quality care. The diversity of these Leading Practices speaks to the commitment that extends across our organization to provide “The Best Care for All”. Two of these practices include our Integrated Model for Stroke Care led by the team at Hamilton General Hospital, and The Rapid Referral Processing and Priority Admissions Strategy for the Palliative Care program at St. Peter’s Hospital. Both of these practices are focused on providing the best patient care at a challenging time. The programs that are home to these practices have also benefited from philanthropic support. Through the financial contributions of donors, our staff are enabled with the equipment, environment, and educational resources they need to focus on providing the quality of care that you would want for a friend or family member who was in need. In short, it has been an exciting and eventful year at Hamilton Health Sciences, and we are truly appreciative for the trust that you have placed in us through your financial support. We will honour that trust as we continue to provide “The Best Care for All”.
