I write in support of correspondence from the Trinity Conception Placentia Health Care Foundation (copy attached) wherein they request matching funds towards their 2008 Annual Telethon which was held last fall.

Last year I participated in the PlacentiaTelethon and we raised over $7,000.00 on a Sunday afternoon. The ptoceeds provide-d valuable equipment to supplement our health care agenda.

Once again this year, I l'rust we can continue to support this worthwhile initiative.

Dear Minister Wiseman,

On behalf of the Trinity Conception Placentia Health Foundation and all residents of the region serviced by our foundation, we thank you for your financial support in fiscal 2007. Your support of the foundation has been outstanding and is certainly reflected in the support we received from all residents of our catchment area and our hundreds of volunteers.

As you may be aware, our foundation has just completed another successful telethon raising $279,289.00 for equipment and health care in our region. Support came in the form of pennies from our school children,to corporate donations representative of all walks of life and all areas of our region.

Once again, I thank Minister Kennedy and Minister Hedderson whom on behalf of government and their districts were special hosts for a one hour segment each of the telethon. Regrets also came from Minister John son as well', who could not attend due to illness.

As in previous years, the Provincial Government has rnade significant contributors to our telethon and therefore helping to provide the necessary and vital equipment, thus enhancing the quality of life of all residents, their families and friends in the Trinity, Conception and Placentia Bays. In light of your past support, I am therefore, once again requesting your assistance in receiving matching funds toward our[2008 Annual Telethon/ it is our understanding that the Government again supports this initiative as with the Western He'alth Telethon. Your contribution along with the Telethon donations will enable oCJr foundation acquisition of the many equtpment requests so desperately needed an~d identified by Eastern Health Rural Avalon Division . f!

HEALTH CARE FOUNDATION

Health Care foundation 190 LeMarchant Road St. John's, NL AlC 2H6 709-777-5901 hcf@healthcarefoundation.c.a www. healthcareloundation. ea str z z 1010 ~ d

Hon. Jerome Kennedy Minister of HeaJth and Community Services Government of Newfoundland and Labrador PO Box 8700 St. John's, NL A I B 4J6

Dear Minister Kennedy,

I was pleased to have recently had the passionately and s'mcere!y on the health care Newfoundland and Labrador. As President and

speak-needs of the people of CEO of the Health Care

Foundation. it is important that I follow the direction that the Department of Health and Community Services takes in relation to the provision of adult health care in this province.

lt is amazing that since Premier Williams formed the initial conservative government in 2003 (which so happens to coincide with my time at the Health Care foundation), I have witnessed a dramatic shift in philosophy related to the imporcance of treatment, research and prevemion for the people of the province. I am delighced with the government's continual contribution to capital equipment over the last number of years. When I started, the first capital equipment list provided to me for Eastern Health had in excess of $90 million in immediate or prio1ity needs. Today. in discussions with Eastern Health, related to areas of support for which the Foundation will be engaged in the coming year. l realize that many of those needs have been met, and indeed, we are reaching a point where we will be surpassing immediate need. and identifying new, innovative and advanced technologies. \r is evidenc r:hat this government, under the leadership o{ Mr. Williams, is truly dedicated to the health and welfare of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Congratulations and thank you'

With this as a premise, I want to reaffirm to you the mandate of the Health Care Foundat-ion, in raising funds in support of adult acute care for the five adult hospitals of St. John's. These hospitals provide specialized and tertiary care for the entire population of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our Give (ram the Heart capital campaign for cardiac care is at the $8 million mark, of a $1 0 million goal. Over the last three years, we have provided for a variety ~f equipment in a number of program areas, such as ENT. Orthopedics, Orthotics and Prosthetics, Surgery, Women's Health, Diagnostics, and Cardiac Care. This year, we are putting some particular emphasis on a program that we are trade marking, known as Comfort in Care.

23

(;;om(ort in Care: $150,000

Comfort in Core was che brainchild of a practicing nurse under the employ of Eastern Health. She had an idea chac if we could provide for some basic comfort items not normally allocated under a traditional hospital budget, we could make life easier for patients and their families whi\e in our care. The Comfort in Care program would allow Eastern Health to be able w enhance the psychological and physical well-being of patients and their families, while also providing the care giving staff che additional tools desired, while addressing the needs of their patients and their families. For example, since 2007. we have had scaff applicacions for Comfort in Care grams from practically

.every clinical discipline unit and program in our five adult hospitals. We have funded items such as: sleeper chairs for the emergency department; DVDs, TVs and TV carts for the coronary care unit; digital hymnals for the pastoral care program: funded a pilot project with exercise equipment for the pulmonary rehab

program; recreational and diversion items for the mental health program: adjustable work tables for the physiotherapy program; furnished a family room for the long term care unit in the Dr .. Waiter

Tempeman Health Cencre: electronic equipment for the volunteer resource program: pocket talkers for che speech/language pachology program: voice activated telephones for surgery: furnishings to develop a garden for the geriatric psychiatry program; non-invasive blood pressure machines for the orthopedic program: furnishings for a number of quiet rooms at each of our hospitals; workshop funding for the pulmonary rehab program: Wii-Fit systems and TV's, along with others games and accessories for the

adult rehab physiotherapy and the Waterford hospital: a variety of sleeper chairs and personal care items for patients and

families.

You would appreciate that from a fundraising perspective, Comfort. in Care has not been a part of our official mandate until recently. We have created a designated account for this program and are working with prospective donors in establishing an endowment to fund the various projeccs and requests, We would like to request support for this project, in the amount of $150,000, from the Depanment of Health and Community Services. The commenC..1ry we receive from this program has been overwhelming positive. The impact on patients and their families has been tremendous. For example, family members who scay with a loved one overnight, in many cases, now have che comfort of sleeping in a chair that adjusc to a lounger, which makes their stay in a difficulc circumscance more bearable. and the result is that they have a more positive experience with our health care system, I have enclosed a series of quotes from patients and s-taff of Eastern Health speaking the accolades of the Comfort in Care program.

24

We would like to it)vite you to formally present this gift at an upcoming Com(on in Care ceremony, at your discretion. These ceremonies receive positive media coverage, in that it truly refiects the positive care provided to patients through Eastern Health.

Eleganza Gala 20 I 0: $50,000

Minister Kennedy, as per our discussion regarding our Health Care Foundation Gala this year, I would like to formally invite you to attend the October 23, 20 I 0 Elegonzo event at the Delta St. John's Hotel. I understand that this night also coincides with the Premiers' Dinner at the Convention Centre. As discussed, we would be honoured if you would take five minutes to.join us at the commencement of our evening to bring greetings on behalf of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and to then kick-off our fundraising evening with a $50,000 contribution to our Gastrointestinal (GI) initiative. This will set the stage for a fantastic evening for our patrons and supporters, and assist the Health Care Foundation in raising the $300,000 required to purchase an electronic Image Capture System for the Gl Clinical Program a first for the province.

The combined support requested of $200.000, will allow the Foundation an opportunity to leverage your generosity with other potential prospects, supporters and friends. This wlll also allow the Foundation to raise the revenue necessary to assist Eastern Health in the provision of adult acute care in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We would like for you to personally present the combined gifts during two events over the next month or so (Eieganza Gala and Comfon in Care ceremony). Minisrer Kennedy, again, a very genuine and heartfel( thank you for your support of our orgilniz::Jtion. I look forward to hearing from you or your Deputy Minister, Bruce Cooper, and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

President and CEO

Honorable Jerome Kennedy Q.C. Minist~r of Health and Community Services Government of Newfoundland and Labrador P.O. Box 8700, I 51 Floor, West Block Confederation Building St. John's, NL AIB 416

Dear Minister Kennedy:

Please accept this letter as a follow-up from October 22, 20 I 0.

The Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation has identified an exciting opportunity for the provinces largest cancer patient population -prostate cancer patients. This year, an estimated 510 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in this province.

Through a generous gift of$135,000 from the Fry Family Foundation to the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation, we have purchased a High Dose Rate Remote (HDR) Afterloading System needed to help launch a Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy Treatment Program in Newfom\dland and Labrador.

With prostate brachytherapy, thin catheters are first placed in the tumor. The catheters are then connected to the afterloader or permanent radioactive seeds are inserted into the prostate. Brachytherapy can be used for a wide range of prostate stages, PSA values, and tumor grades.

The Cancer Care Program of Eastern Health has secured the necessary Operating Room time in the Health Sciences to insert the catheters necessary to perform prostate brachytherapy.

Honorable Jerome Kennedy Q.C. April 11,2011 Page 2 of2

There are two remaining critical pieces to be purchased in order to officially launch the Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy Treatment Program.

I. VariSeed is a dynamic dose planning system required to plan a prostate cancer patients' treatment. This program will allow higher dose delivery to the tumour and will enable the team to treat challenging cases. Cost: $72,000

2. An OR Bed is required for the HDR treatment space at. the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre to help with proper patient positioning. Cost $40,000.

Through our partnership with Motorcycle Ride for Dad, the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation has provided over $150,000 in funding fot prostate cancer research at Memorial University's Faculty of Medicine and participated in their highly successful awareness campaign.

The launch of the Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy Treatment Program would be the complement to investments made in research, education and awareness in Newfoundland and Labrador.

We invite the Department of Health and Community Services to partner with the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation with a gift to provide this leading edge technology for the benefit of prostate cancer patients in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Sincerely,

Earl Ludlow, Chairman Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation
