2012 Donor report
Health Care, Transformed.
Message from Pearl Veenema, President and CeO
Hamilton health Sciences Foundation
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.
Michael Schwenger
Board Chair
OUR Mission
1
To raise funds and manage donor gifts for the purpose of supporting
outstanding clinical care and research for the communities served by
Hamilton Health Sciences.

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.
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.
A quarter century of Philanthropy
Hamilton 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 longstanding, 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
Michael Schwenger; Fred Hussey, Board Chair, Hamilton Health Sciences
Volunteer Association (HHSVA); Tina Cooper, President and CEO, HHSVA;
Pearl F. Veenema; and Murray T. Martin.
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 redevelopment
Amongst 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
3
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.
Hamilton health Sciences foundation
a WIDE raNGE OF gIVING
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.

Hamilton 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.
Fostering world-class Research
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.

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.”
Developing World-Class Talent in Vascular Surgery
With 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
7
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.”
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.
Construction Firm Marks Milestone with $100,000 Gift
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

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.”
Nurse Bernice Leblanc assists Enrico Magnotta (in bed) as he donates stem cells that will be transplanted to his brother Guiseppe (centre),
who is being treated for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
“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.”
11
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.”
Still Shining BRIGHT After Five Years
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

Centre focused on improving breast cancer

their study measuring the effects of Vitamin D and Melatonin on the growth
of breast tumours.
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.
Tree Campaign Helps Grow Knowledge
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.

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 eighthour 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.

“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 lifethreatening 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.
15
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.
Looking good at 20! Scotiabank Smiles for MacKids
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.
New Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Transforms
Care of Critically Ill and Injured Children
16
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
Michael G. DeGroote and former patients and their families celebrate
helps to reduce stress on both patients and families

during an emotionally trying time.
Generosity From Children’s Miracle Network Partners
As 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 Centre
A 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.
“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.
19
“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.”
Lincoln Alexander’s Lasting Legacy
of Care and Compassion
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 Joy
Former St. Peter’s patient, Jack Walton helped promote
the Comfort and Joy Gift Packages during the holiday
season.
20
St. 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.
People Helping People
Embracing 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 Joy
Friends, 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.

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”.
