Recently, you may have heard one
of us speak excitedly about our new
hospital, proudly describing how we
have moved from the planning phase
to the beginning of construction.
It’s for real now and from this point
forward, our accountability is to keep
you informed as part of our team. A
team that will build the best hospital
and provide exceptional health care
services for our community. A team
comprising the Cambridge Memorial
Hospital (CMH) Foundation and the
CMH Volunteer Association, and
CMH, your hospital.
We did a lot this past year. Virtual
reality was used to ‘walk’ through
and ‘see’ the new building as it is
intended. This is the first Canadian
Angelo Loberto
Hospital Board Chair
Patrick Gaskin
example of applying this technology
to a hospital’s design. We also reached
out to the community to ensure the
design reflects our rich heritage.
Replica patient rooms were built to
scale for clinicians to move around in
and provide crucial design feedback.
We did all of this to ensure the new
hospital’s healing environment will
be the best for our patients. It is
important for us to get this right for
you and our community.
Our fundraising journey has started
in earnest. Our year began with our
own CMH Volunteer Association
contributing a remarkable $1.25
Million gift to our Foundation. Two
of our leadership donors, the Lyle
S. Hallman Foundation and Toyota
Hospital President & CEO
Susan Brown
Foundation Chair
Motor Manufacturing Canada, were
celebrated and thanked with rooms
named in their honour.
As excited as we are to speak about a
modern, new hospital, the real story is
with our people. They are the source
of our strength, tackling amazing new
initiatives and showing exceptional
dedication to providing high quality
care. Programs were expanded and
we welcomed more medical staff. Our
hospital ended the year in a strong
financial position.
We believe our future is bright and
hope you enjoy these stories in our
very first combined report to our
community. Thank you for your
continued support.

FOR CANCER CARE IN CAMBRIDGE
We are always looking for ways to improve our
services, including shorter wait times for cancer
diagnoses. Quick timing is critical, and can mean
the difference between life and death.
CCO set a standard for all Ontario hospital
pathology labs to provide 80% of their colorectal
cancer diagnoses within 10 days. In 2010, over
8,300 Ontarians were diagnosed with colorectal
cancer. In 2012, 3,400 people died from the disease.
CMH not only met that goal, but surpassed it.
CMH’s pathology team was named one of the
best in the province, and is only one of six Ontario
hospitals to help diagnose colorectal cancer in
less than 10 days for 100% of patients.
Examining over 10,000 specimens every year, many
of which are for cancer, Dr. Pamela Cyr, Chief of
Pathology, and her team recognize the sooner they
get a diagnosis to surgeons and oncologists, the
earlier the patient can receive treatment.
Receiving a timely and accurate diagnosis means
that the oncology team has all of the information
they need to plan the best possible treatment for
the patient.
When Dr. Cyr was asked what she thought
contributed to their success, she responded: “I am
grateful to work in a small, tight knit group. Our
patients are important to us and we do what we can
to coordinate ourselves to provide the best possible
care.” With only four other pathologists, her team
is three times smaller than most other hospitals
proving innovation and collaboration go a long way
to supporting exceptional care for patients.

Toy ota Na me s
Cafet eri a
In recent years, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada
(TMMC) has donated over $650,000 to capital equipment
at Cambridge Memorial Hospital.
Our hospital cafeteria is an inclusive gathering place for staff, patients,
and visitors of the hospital. It is a place to rest, to re-energize, to be
nutritionally re-fueled, and to share with others.
In recognition of their most recent donation, the hospital cafeteria was
named in honour of TMMC. In February, Toyota representatives visited
CMH to deliver cake and coffee to all of our hard-working hospital staff,
and enjoy a nice break together in our cafeteria.
“Toyota strongly believes that we have a responsibility to give back to our
communities. As a manufacturer, we understand how important it is for
a hospital to replace and enhance aging equipment. Our donation to the
Hospital Foundation provides our employees and local citizens with peace
of mind knowing that our hospital will be able to provide quality care
should they require it”, said TMMC Chairman Ray Tanguay.
“Toyota strongly believes that we have a
responsibility to give back to our communities.”

After 50 years, Dr. Miln Harvey continues his
commitment to the hospital and community.
Dr. La wrie
Dr. Michael Lawrie
steps down as chief,
but continues his
care at CMH.
In February 2013, Dr. Michael Lawrie announced he would
not be seeking another term as Chief of Staff when his contract
comes to an end in June. During his four years as Chief, he
accomplished a lot: recruited 56 physicians, championed for
a strong family physician base in Cambridge and saw the
expansion of CMH services like Mental Health and the MRI.
A man of many faces, you may have seen him walking through
the hallways in a white lab coat, some days a suit, and once a
year in a kilt on Robby Burns day. Once in training to play for
the Chicago Blackhawks, he opted to change paths and try his
hand in medicine. Following his passion for people, he has
proven to be a fantastic leader and an exceptional physician,
which he will continue to pursue. Thank you, Dr. Lawrie.
Things you may not know about Dr. Lawrie:
•First job: Gas attendant
•Favorite movie: ‘Trains, Planes and Automobiles’
•Favorite hobby: Skiing and Golf
•Biggest fear: Having no one show up at his
own surprise party
•Describe yourself in three words: Fair, Reliable, Persistent

Dr. Miln Harvey was born to work. On January 1st,
1963, little did Cambridge’s only Obstetrician know
he was at the start of a 50-year career.
As Chief of Obstetrics during most of his tenure at
CMH, he witnessed many changes. He was the first
to do minimally invasive surgery using laparoscopic
techniques and saw hospital stays go down from over
a week to just a day in most cases. It wasn’t only about
medicine for Dr. Harvey, “It is important to not just have
a commitment to your hospital, but to your community
too.” He sat on the School Board and was involved with
the original District Health Council. He is still active
with the CMH Foundation.
The word ‘retirement’ seems to have a different meaning
for Dr. Harvey. He is on the third step of a four-step
retirement plan. After accumulating more than 25,000
patient charts, he stepped back from Obstetrics in 2000
to focus solely on surgery. He retired from that in 2009,
but wanted to continue keeping in touch with patients
and staying current within his field. To this day, he is
part of CMH’s medical staff, assisting in surgeries.
What is the fourth step? “I have yet to figure that out”,
says Harvey, with a quiet smile.

HE LP Prog ra m
It is known that patients who are elderly are more prone to
mental and physical decline when they are in the hospital.
When this happens, it can result in longer hospital stays with
more complications. To lessen these effects, CMH launched
the region’s first Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) in 2012.
HELP volunteers are the backbone of the program, making a
real difference in the lives of elderly patients. While in hospital,
geriatric patients receive specially designed interventions,
performed by volunteers who have gone through extensive
training. In collaboration with CMH staff, they keep patients
engaged through communication, socialization, mental
stimulation, exercise, and companionship in efforts to preserve
their cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being. Since it
began, over 135 patients were enrolled in the program and
our volunteers performed over 5,200 interventions. Last year,
CMH’s HELP was supported by 30 volunteers providing more
than 2,200 volunteer hours. It is the largest HELP program in
the Waterloo Wellington region.
HELP volunteers are the backbone of the
program, making a real difference in the
lives of elderly patients.

Bu ilding Diverse Pa rtn ers hip s
Cambridge Memorial Hospital is part of a diverse community made up of
groups with many different backgrounds. As an organization committed to
learning more about our community and engaging it into our activities and
fundraising, we invited cultural and religious leaders to have dinner with us.
In April 2012, several community-based organizations and CMH met over an
inspired menu, representing our diversity at the Galt Country Club. President and
CEO, Patrick Gaskin, provided leaders with a hospital update, shared our vision
for the future, and answered questions. Feedback from this initial meeting
suggested it was a good use of time and an excellent way for everyone to learn
about our community's cultural heritage. It was also a lot of fun!
A second meeting was held in October at the Armenian Community
Centre, which provided the Armenian Community a perfect
opportunity to present their fundraising proceeds from their
annual golf tournament.
We plan to continue this partnership in 2013, with an event
hosted by our friends from the Islamic Centre of Cambridge.
We are growing this unique model of engagement, with
TD Bank Financial Group joining us as a sponsor of
our Diverse Partnerships initiative. We believe our
hospital needs to reflect our community and this
is an excellent opportunity to live our values
of caring, collaboration and respect. It is an
invitation for our neighbours to participate
in our vision: To provide exceptional
healthcare by exceptional people.

Tre es of Ca rin g
Each year, thousands of
community donors
honour a loved one
by lighting a bulb on
our Trees of Caring.
This tradition spans
several decades
and continues to be
one of our substantial
fundraisers each year.
Many local businesses are also
involved through our Coronation Banner program,
or through Angels of Caring. This past year, our
Trees of Caring donations were designated to help
expand our Emergency Department.
Oth er Great Eve nts
Throughout the year we hosted several other special
event fundraisers, including Best Bites – A Taste
of Las Vegas, the Spring Classic and President’s
Invitational Golf events, as well as the Physician’s
Community Gala in March. Look for many of these
events in 2013, including Best Bites – A Taste of the
Derby on September 8.

M ent al Healt h
On June 11, 2012, CMH opened up its interim Schedule 1 Mental
Health program. It marked a significant expansion of acute care services for
our community, growing from 10 to 20 beds. Before it opened, patients needing
hospitalization without consent, were transferred as far away as St. Thomas, ON – almost a
1 ½ hour drive from Cambridge. Now our patients can be seen and treated close to home,
with access to their loved ones and with better coordination of services with our community agencies.
CMH’s Mental Health program also added a Day Hospital to provide patients with flexible treatment options.
Admission to the Day Hospital makes it possible to avoid hospitalization for some, while for inpatients, they may
experience speedier discharges. The Day Hospital provides assessment, support, treatment and discharge planning
that enhances a patient’s stability, while facilitating suitable follow-up care.

Memorial Hospital would always be able to provide

Legacy giving is a reflection of how you want to be
remembered – in your work, your community and
your family.

Lette r fro m th e Fou nd ation
Dear Friend of CMH,
All hospital services provide care in
your time of need, yet the one that
defines an acute care centre is surgery.
Except for a few clinics, full service
operating rooms are seldom found in
spaces outside of a hospital.
CMH has a highly skilled surgical
team that is unique to Cambridge and
North Dumfries. When surgery is the
best option for treatment, saving a life
or relieving pain, our teams spring to
action. In 2012-13, they performed
12 000 surgeries – that’s 33 times,
each and every day!
Last year, you supported our purchase
of the MRI and generously donated to
our Emergency Department to assist us
with our increased patient volumes.
This year, we are focusing on the next
piece of our hospital transformation:
Surgery. With your ongoing support,
we plan to build more operating
rooms that are larger and can hold the
latest surgical equipment. We are also
completely renovating the outpatient
Surgical Day Care Unit and will
increase number of beds. It is just a
matter of time before the new hospital
is built. It is up to our community
to furnish and purchase the surgical
equipment to help our exceptional
people provide exceptional care.

Our Volunteers continue to have a huge impact on Patient Care
Announced at the Trees of Caring
celebration last November, the
Cambridge Memorial Hospital
Volunteer Association pledged
an incredible $1,250,000 for our
Transformation CMH Capital
Campaign, supporting our new
expansion.
“This is a generous donation from
our CMH Volunteer Association. It
reflects how deeply our organizations
are connected and the confidence of
the Association has in our hospital’s
direction. These funds will allow us to
transform our hospital and enhance
patient care,” says Patrick Gaskin,
President and CEO, Cambridge
Memorial Hospital.
Foundation’s fundraising campaign,
because this truly is ‘our hospital.’
We volunteer here, and for many of
us, our volunteer journey began with
a personal or family experience with
the Cambridge Memorial Hospital.”
The CMH Volunteer Association
comprises 400 members who provide
volunteer services to the hospital and
fundraise to purchase equipment
through their Tim Horton’s location,
the Red Poppy Gift Shop, the
Recovery Room and with HELPP
ticket sales. Success at these retail
opportunities over many years, as well
as some personal gifts from members,
allowed for their leadership donation
to the campaign.
