Message from Our Presidents
Dedicated Leaders
Supporting Your Health
Your gifts help our family of physicians, nurses and other health-care
professionals deliver the right care at the right time to you, your family
and your neighbours. Markham Stouffville Hospital exists to deliver
quality patient care for our communities close to home.
Thank you to the 2008-2009
Markham Stouffville Hospital
Foundation Board of Directors
for your support of health care
in our community.
The Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation’s mission is to support
patient care at our Hospital through a comprehensive fundraising
program, and we are pleased to share with you the Foundation’s inaugural
Report to Donors.
Janet M. Beed
President & CEO,
Markham Stouffville Hospital
This report highlights the Foundation’s accomplishments in 2007-2008
and shows you how your support makes a difference. Together, we raised
$3.6 million in support of patient care at our Hospital.
Through the strong support of its donors, Markham Stouffville Hospital
continues to provide patients with the best in progressive care. As you may
know, the government does not fund all new and replacement medical
equipment. We rely on the generosity of our donors.
With your gifts, the Hospital is able to fund important clinical initiatives.
Thanks to the fundraising success within our communities, Markham
Stouffville Hospital opened our state-of-the-art Breast Health Centre,
which we built and fully-equipped. Your generosity enabled the Hospital
to purchase vital life-saving medical equipment, such as a gamma camera,
which uses nuclear medicine to view images of the human body to
diagnose things like heart disease.
Suzette Strong
President,
Markham Stouffville Hospital
Foundation
Your giving is a sign of confidence in our team of health-care professionals,
who strive to deliver the ultimate care to each and every patient.
We hope you enjoy these stories as much as we enjoy sharing them with
you. Like you, we are so proud of Markham Stouffville Hospital and the
quality of care that our Hospital provides. Your support will continue to
be more important than ever as the Foundation embarks upon its largest
fundraising campaign in support of our Hospital’s plans for expansion.

Leading the Way
with 500,000
Reasons to Expand
“We Need More Hospital for Our Population”
“Markham Stouffville Hospital is the cornerstone for a healthy community,”
John Gibson firmly stated during a celebration for his family’s $500,000
donation in support of the Hospital’s upcoming expansion project.
His wife, Diane, chimed in: “We’d like everybody in our community to have a
good level of health care, and without this expansion, we don’t have a hope
of continuing to provide that to our growing community.”
John and Diane Gibson on-set at the Hospital
for a video shoot to commemorate their
donation. Visit our website to view the video:
www.msh.on.ca/gibsonvideo
Markham Mayor and Campaign Co-Chair
Frank Scarpitti celebrates with Diane & John.
The Hospital recognized the Gibsons’ generosity
by naming a space in the Breast Health Centre
in honour of their donation.
The Gibsons are passionate advocates for the Hospital’s need
for expansion. Their leadership donation in March has inspired
more than mere appreciation for the Hospital’s services.
While Diane ultimately had a positive outcome, she quickly
reinforced her reason for making the donation: “We need
more Hospital for our population.”
The couple makes a point of encouraging others to step up
to the plate as they campaign for what they believe to be our
community’s most important cause. During the celebration
in the Hospital’s auditorium – an evening the Foundation
organized in thanks for their gift – John and Diane convinced
their friends and family to participate and raised over $30,000
on the spot!
Diane elaborated: “The staff are doing such a wonderful job,
but there must be a breaking point. They just can’t serve any
more people in the current space; they need a bigger facility
and the right tools.”
“Our donation was intended to be one of leadership,”
John explained. “I hope that we are leading
by example, and that we inspire others to
“The staff are doing
recognize the importance of giving and to dig
such a wonderful
deep.”
John and Diane are personally aware of the
Hospital’s urgent need to expand. Shortly
after giving their gift, Diane spent a week
in the Hospital, where she personally
benefitted from the excellent patient care.
She also witnessed the strain on staff due to
the minimal space in which they have to work.
job, but there must
be a breaking point.
They just can’t serve
any more people in
the current space”
“I awoke in the middle of the night with tremendous chest
pain, which shot down my left arm,” Diane recalled. “It
got progressively worse until I convinced John to take me
to the ER.”
After being admitted to a bed, Diane received numerous
tests throughout the week, as well as an angioplasty. Her
cardiologist, Dr. Pasricha, put her on medication while
closely monitoring her.
With the population of Markham, Stouffville and surrounding
communities ever-increasing, Hospital administrators have
been working on plans to keep up with our population’s
demand for health care.
“I was so impressed that all the physicians, specialists and nurses
were able to do all that they did with such a limited amount
of staff and space. Everyone was so helpful. I had everything I
needed while in the Hospital. The staff went above and beyond
their call of duty – we could not have been better treated.”
“The Ministry of Health and Infrastructure
Ontario are working with us on the approval
of our Functional Program,” explained
Janet Beed, President and CEO of Markham
Stouffville Hospital. “Our current schedule
is to have a shovel in the ground in May,
2010, and we look forward to celebrating this
exciting milestone with the community. The
expected completion date is 2014.”
As the Hospital continues to finalize the details of its plans
for expansion, the Foundation is gearing up to go. Thanks
to early leadership gifts, the Foundation is beginning to
raise the community’s share of the cost, while continuing to
support the Hospital’s annual equipment needs. Building
a hospital is a partnership between the government and
the community. We need our community’s help to raise
part of the construction costs, as well as all equipment and
furnishings for our new Hospital.
“John and Diane’s generosity and early investment in our
new Hospital is truly inspiring,” commented Suzette Strong,
President of the Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation.
“I think if we’re living in the community, participating in
the community and benefitting from what the community
has to offer, it’s up to us to give something back,” John

Two Generations Diagnosed Within Months
Betty’s Story
Betty and her husband, Bill, were vacationing in Florida, relieved that their
daughter’s treatment was coming to an end. Betty hoped to put the whole
experience behind her when she found a lump in her own breast.
“The physician in Florida thought it was just an infection,”
explained Betty. “But after Debbie’s experience, I wasn’t
going to take any chances. We flew home right away for a
mammogram, which revealed a tumour.”
A Mother &
Daughter’s
Fight Against Cancer
It was just another annual mammogram for 45-year-old
Debbie. This time the results would be devastating. While
Debbie underwent chemotherapy, her 71-year-old mother,
Betty, was also diagnosed with breast cancer.
Debbie’s Story
“During my screening mammogram at Markham Stouffville
Hospital, the technician found a small nodule in my breast,
and advised we watch it for growth,” Debbie recalled. “Three
months later it was the same size, but after six months it had
quadrupled.”
Debbie went to the Hospital’s Breast Health Centre, a one-stop
clinic with a focus around each woman’s personal needs.
“The morning after the troublesome mammogram and ultrasound,
I received a call before 8 a.m.,” Debbie explained. “I was back in the
Centre that very day by 10 a.m. for a consultation with the surgeon
and a biopsy. At the Breast Health Centre, everything seems to
move very quickly. The efficiency continues to amaze me.”
A week after her biopsy, she received a call at the cottage. The news
was not good.
“I was surprised more than anything,” Debbie recalled of her
positive breast cancer diagnosis. “I took a more logical approach,
rather than having an emotional response. The first thing I did was
go to the computer to educate myself about the disease.”
She received an MRI, followed by a lumpectomy. But the cancer
had spread too quickly, and within a month Dr. Alan Ing, one of
the Centre’s surgeons, performed a mastectomy and removed the
remaining lymph nodes.
“I started chemo in November and underwent radiation therapy
in early spring,” she remembered. And just when she thought
the process was coming to an end, a phone call from her mother
brought it all back again – twofold.
Still undergoing chemotherapy, Debbie could not believe
the news. “I wished I could go through the whole thing
again rather than have my mother go through any part of
it,” she said.
Debbie immediately called Markham Stouffville’s Breast
Health Centre to book an appointment for her mother,
suggesting she see Dr. Ing.
“Because of Debbie’s positive experience, I decided to go,”
said Betty. “During my first visit, I had a consultation with
Dr. Ing, an ultrasound and a biopsy. I was exceedingly
pleased, both with the speed of the process and because
everything was coordinated in a single location and
appointment time. We were in and out in less than two
hours.”
Coordinator Kim Olidis with Dr. Alan Ing, just
one of the Breast Health Centre’s four general
surgeons. Dr. Ing performed a mastectomy on
Debbie in the fall of 2007. Debbie suggested
that Dr. Ing perform her mother’s lumpectomy
when she was diagnosed.
Dr. Ing performed Betty’s lumpectomy in April, 2008. “We’ve been told by other
experts that, thanks to Dr. Ing’s skill and expertise, my mother only required
one surgery,” Debbie explained.
Then Betty began treatment. “It was much easier for me after seeing my daughter
get through it so positively. It is very difficult to feel that you’re ill with this
disease because you don’t feel sick – you’re not hurting.”
Your Role in the Fight
Against Breast Cancer
Thanks to the 7,000 donors who gave to Markham
Stouffville Hospital last year, the Hospital was able to open a
centralized clinic to provide women in our community with
comprehensive breast health services, tailored to their needs.
“I wished I could go
through the whole
thing again rather
than have my mother
go through any
part of it”
“Our Breast Health Centre provides patients with quick access to assessment,
surgery and treatment,” explained Dr. Ing. “The objective is to organize the
appointments for the patient, to decrease wait times and to ease the stress and
sleepless nights she experiences.”
“Everything was coordinated for us; we didn’t have to worry about anything,”
Debbie and Betty agreed. “We were navigated through the system and always
felt like people – never numbers.”
With one in nine women in our community diagnosed with breast cancer every
year, the need for these services is clear. In the past, women who found a lump were
responsible for planning and coordinating their care – from booking appointments
to bringing their X-rays. The wait times could be weeks or even months.
To a woman with breast cancer, time can be a death sentence.
Kim Olidis is the coordinator at the Centre who organizes appointments and
A Mother &
Daughter’s
Fight Against Cancer
treatment plans for every patient. In the
Centre’s first nine months in operation,
Kim helped 800 women.
“We can’t say enough about Kim!”
Debbie and Betty agreed. “The people at
the Centre are amazing. It feels good to
know that our follow-up care is there, and
that the Centre continues to be there for
us. It gives us a real sense of comfort.”
Your gifts to Markham Stouffville
Hospital help women like Debbie and
Betty access fast, quality care. Thank you.
“At the Breast Health
Centre, everything seems
to move very quickly.
The efficiency continues
to amaze me”

It’s a Girl Thing!
Women Supporting Women in the Fight Against Breast Cancer
Girls just want to have fun. That’s why Unionvillers Lisa Cabrelli and Trish Forrestall
founded an all-women’s golf fundraiser in 1999 after taking up the challenging sport.
So when it came time to decide where to donate the funds, it was only natural to give to
a cause that supports women. Both Lisa and Trish had a growing number of friends and
family members diagnosed with breast cancer, so it was time to join the fight.
“My mom is a two-time breast cancer survivor,” said Trish. “Everyone is touched by this
awful disease. Helping means a lot to me and my family.”
The Unionville Ladies Golf Tournament was a huge success. In its first year, the golfers
raised $10,000.
Ten years later, the girls are still at it. In 2008, the proceeds have more than tripled,
with an astounding $45,000 in support of Markham Stouffville Hospital’s Breast Health
Centre.
Because of our community’s fundraising efforts, Markham Stouffville Hospital was able
to build and open its Breast Health Centre and equip it with a state-of-the-art digital
mammography machine for diagnoses and biopsy services.
“It means more to people to know their money is not going downtown into a pot
somewhere,” Lisa explained. “With the money going to our community hospital, we
can personally see how it is being used and witness it helping the women we love. It’s
rewarding to see what a fantastic time the ladies have at our event and to know we’re
making a difference in the fight against breast cancer.”
This tournament is proof that girl power really can make a difference!
Trish Forrestall (left) and Lisa Cabrelli founded the Unionville
Ladies Golf Tournament in 1999. The tournament has raised
$88,000 in support of breast health services at Markham
Stouffville Hospital.

in their name between April 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008.
