THANKS TO YOU,
LIFE HAPPENS
HERE
It’s an innovative treatment that returns a
heart patient to doing what he loves.
It’s a breast cancer diagnosis within 24 hours
because time is of the essence.
It’s having brain surgery and going home the
very next day.
It’s getting back on your feet, and getting
back to normal, when all hope seemed lost.
This is Sunnybrook. Life happens here.

message from our ceos
We often speak of our
vision to invent the
future of health care.
This vision pushes us to continually strive
to advance what’s possible – to conduct
the research that leads to life-saving care
for patients here in our community and
around the world. It means we think of
care in new ways, build state-of-the-art
spaces and acquire the most advanced
equipment to match the world-class
skills of our experts.
But this future is not years away, a distant
dream that may never be reached. The
treatments of tomorrow are happening
right now, right here at Sunnybrook.
This future is found in our reconstructed
and expanded Schulich Heart Centre,
opened in the fall of 2011. This is just one
of two sites in Canada where doctors
repair faulty mitral valves without opening
the chest. Last year alone, 100 lives
were saved by donor-funded, minimally
invasive procedures pioneered at
the centre.
The future is in our renovated and
expanded Chemotherapy Unit and
Gloria Odette Pharmacy, officially
opened in June 2012. Our chemotherapy
space allows us to treat patients in a
comfortable and nurturing environment,
while meeting the increasing need from
the community. Our expanded cancer
pharmacy provides room for one-on-one
service, as well as additional capacity
to support our breakthrough chemotherapy trials.
Thanks to a $10-million gift from Frederick
Thompson, we established the Frederick
W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre.
Our focus on obsessive compulsive
disorder care and research is found
nowhere else in Canada.

SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
Dr. Barry McLellan
President & CEO,
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre
This spring, we opened the Louise
Temerty Breast Cancer Centre earlier
than planned because of a landmark
$10-million gift from Jim and Louise
Temerty. The largest and most advanced
facility of its kind in Canada, the centre
will put our breast cancer experts at
the forefront of research, pioneering
new treatments, advancing imaging
technologies, and improving prevention
of the disease.
In November 2012, we opened the
Centre for Research in Image-Guided
Therapeutics. Made possible through
support from generous donors and
a $75-million grant from the federal
government’s Canada Foundation for
Innovation, this $160-million centre
will advance every stage of research,
from studying basic cell biology to
designing therapies based on the
makeup of that cell, to testing those
therapies preclinically and, finally, in
patients – all within one space.
Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, C.M.
President & CEO,
Sunnybrook Foundation
But the most telling proof of our success
is found not in the spaces we’ve opened
or even the research our experts have
conducted. The most compelling proof
is in the stories our patients have to tell.
Stories like that of Tony, who returned
to his beloved work-outs after his heart
stopped twice. Or Frank, who escaped
the debilitating tremors that plagued his
right hand for decades. They are stories
of being returned to loved ones to lead
lives of quality.
Sunnybrook has always had the enlightened support of our community. As
a donor, you see yourself in the care
we provide and the groundbreaking
research we conduct. You understand
that Sunnybrook will not invent the
future of health care without donors
of vision. You are helping us make the
impossible possible.
It is only through your support that these
remarkable stories can be told. Thank
you for believing in us, in our experts and
in our vision for the future of health care.

Helping us do that with innovative new
treatments and world-class research
is important to you, our supporters. As
volunteer leaders, life-saving innovations
in health care at Sunnybrook are important
to us, too. That is why the efficient use of
your generous financial support is our top
priority. We are proud that for the second
year in a row, MoneySense magazine
awarded Sunnybrook Foundation an
overall ‘A’ grade in its 2012 Charity 100
rankings. We were the only Ontario
hospital foundation to receive the grade.
The careful and smart use of your financial
support has allowed Sunnybrook to
accomplish great things. We have built
Canada’s largest and most advanced
facility for breast cancer care – the
Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre.
Our research facilities bring together a
unique mix of expertise under one roof,
making the space a catalyst for collaboration that leads to creative solutions
for today’s most pressing health issues.
Our new cardiac facilities are state-ofthe-art, allowing Sunnybrook to lead
the country in innovations in minimally
invasive, life-saving treatments. On top
of that, you have offered transformational support for mental health services,
mothers and premature babies, prostate
cancer research, and much more.
All of these achievements were possible
only because of generous people who
are determined to make a real difference
for others.
And every investment does make a
difference. In addition to the generosity
of Jim and Louise Temerty and Frederick
Thompson, in 2012 several commitments
added momentum to a number of
critically important initiatives.

“I have control now,

The fact that I’m able
to pick up a teacup and
hold my little pinky out
– without creating a
tempest in that teacup –
is pretty marvelous.”
Frank Winnacott can hold his

thanks to a Canadian-first brain
surgery at Sunnybrook.
own cup
The surgery left his skull untouched,
and gave him back the independence
and self-esteem that had long been
missing from his life because of
debilitating tremors that plagued
him for 30 years.
“I would get defensive if my wife
hopped up to help me because I
had trouble accepting that I needed
help,” says Frank, whose right hand
previously shook so much he needed
to hold a half-filled coffee cup with
both hands.
“I have control now, and a sense of
pride. The fact that I’m able to pick up
a teacup and hold my little pinky out –
without creating a tempest in that
teacup – is pretty marvelous.”
With technology invented by
Sunnybrook’s Dr. Kullervo Hynynen,
head of the Centre for Research in
Image-Guided Therapeutics, the
treatment uses magnetic resonance
imaging to guide focused ultrasound
through a patient’s skull to target an
area deep in the brain. (Picture using
a magnifying glass to focus the
sun’s rays while harming nothing
outside that pinpoint of heat.) Focused
ultrasound then destroys the cells
responsible for the tremor, breaking
the faulty circuits causing the tremors.
The steadiness in Frank’s hand was
immediate.
“I sat there in awe thinking, ‘I can be
like other people now,’ ” he recalls.
The third of five patients to receive
the treatment in Canada, Frank is still
returning to his former handy and
fiercely independent self. But while
recovering his spatial awareness and
balance has been gradual over the
past five months, the signs of success
were clear just minutes after the
treatment, daughter Vicki says. Frank
could once again reclaim part of his
identity by signing his name on a
piece of paper.
“It was a signature I hadn’t seen in
years, and it was as I remembered
from many years past,” she recalls.
“It brought my sister Terri and I to
tears to see that.”

Compelled
to Give
In June 2012, Frederick W.
Thompson made a gift of $10
million to establish the Frederick
W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders
Centre. The gift is the largest
ever in Canada to obsessive
compulsive disorders research
and care.
For something that hurts so many
Canadian families, mental health
doesn’t get nearly the attention it
deserves. Care and research are
underfunded, and anxiety disorders –
including obsessive compulsive
disorder – are not discussed openly.
In fact, it’s rare to find a family that
hasn’t been affected by anxiety
disorders. I know it’s touched mine
through my grandson David, who has
long sought treatment for his OCD.
The right treatment can be hard to find,
yet it’s only through the best support
possible that people return to truly
living their lives.
And that’s unfortunate.
I hope this centre will help change this.
Sunnybrook already leads the way in
treating these disorders, so it’s the best
place for the Frederick W. Thompson
Anxiety Disorders Centre. It’s the right
place. It will allow Sunnybrook to focus
on OCD care and research in a way
that simply doesn’t exist anywhere
else in Canada.
I hope this centre helps create a
greater awareness of what people
are going through, opens doors in
treatment that have been closed due
to insufficient funding, and encourages
people to support OCD research and
care at Sunnybrook.
But most of all, I hope it helps set
families on the path to truly being
healthy again. It’s what families need.

The power to predict and prevent
dementia in some patients
may now be possible, thanks to
Sunnybrook researchers.
They have found a way to predict the
two most common dementias up to
five years before they are diagnosed,
allowing some patients to avoid getting
the devastating disease at all.
“Predicting vascular dementia is
extremely important because this
condition is treatable. Early identification and aggressive treatment
may prevent the onset of dementia,”
says Dr. Mary Tierney, director of
the Primary Care Research Unit at
Sunnybrook and senior author of the
study. “This will have a major impact
on quality of life for many patients.”
The researchers were also able
to predict those likely to develop
Alzheimer’s disease. While not
preventable, Alzheimer’s onset can be
delayed with a healthier lifestyle and
moderate exercise, research shows.
Knowing their risks will encourage
patients to make the right changes.
“This research will also inform some
people that their probability for
developing dementia is small,
alleviating worry and concern about
developing dementia over the next
five years,” says Dr. Tierney.
With its international reputation,
Sunnybrook is leading the fight
against this “silver tsunami.” Current
Sunnybrook research is addressing
emotional issues in Alzheimer’s
patients, the link between silent
strokes and dementia risk, and is
exploring technology to diagnose
dementia faster.

SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
“I sang as if it might be the last time
I would ever sing. My road manager
said it was one of the best shows I had
ever done.”
IT WAS OCTOBER 20, 2011. Internationally renowned singer-songwriter Dan Hill took to a stage in
Cambridge, Ont. and sang his heart
out, having learned just minutes
before that he had prostate cancer.
“I remember walking on stage feeling almost dazed, like I had been
hit over the head with a two-by-four,”
says Dan, a Toronto resident.
“I sang as if it might be the last time
I would ever sing. My road manager
said it was one of the best shows
I had ever done.”
It was another three days before
Dan could be at home with his wife
and family to fully digest the news.
From there, things moved quickly.
He had his prostate removed, and
before long he returned to another
one of his passions: running.
Dan was “blown away” by the care he
received at Sunnybrook. “Whoever
I talked to, they just had lots of
time and lots of empathy. It was the
human connection that really stood
out.” And of Sunnybrook urologist,
Dr. Robert Nam, one of Canada’s
leading prostate cancer experts,
Dan says, “he has such a warm and
engaging persona. It struck me that
he and I have a lot in common, in
that we both really, really love what
we do.”
Dan feels compelled to give back,
and has done so by volunteering
his time to raise awareness of
prostate cancer and by participating
in a musical evening with John
McDermott in November 2012,
which raised vital funds for prostate
cancer research at Sunnybrook.
“You heal yourself by healing
others,” Dan says.

Sunnybrook doctors are giving new
hope to those living with brain cancer
by treating the tumour directly, rather
than the entire brain.
“Patients tell me they can’t even feel
the treatment and that they’re pleased
they can still get chemotherapy without
missing a beat,” says Sunnybrook
radiation oncologist Dr. Arjun Sahgal,
an international research leader in
brain and spine cancers.
The high-tech, extremely precise
radiation treatment – known as stereotactic radiosurgery – preserves brain
functioning, including processes related
to attention span, memory, problemsolving, decision-making and speech.
Because the treatment is so precise,
chemo can proceed virtually uninterrupted. Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre
is one of only a few Canadian centres
using the treatment for cancer that
has spread to the brain or spine. The
technique doesn’t destroy the tumour,
but distorts the DNA within the tumour
cells, causing them to lose the ability
to reproduce and hold fluids.
“In the past, we simply treated the whole
brain with radiation, with the goal being
to manage symptoms. We now deliver
stereotactic radiosurgery to control
tumours for patients who have a limited
number of them,” Dr. Sahgal notes.
“We use whole brain radiation later,
only if they need it.”

Lori with her husband and children
“The surgery helped me regain
a sensual and important part of
who I am as a woman.”
Lori Vajda, 44, is a breast cancer
survivor who had a double mastectomy and breast reconstruction
on the same day in 2011 through
Sunnybrook’s Immediate Breast
Reconstruction Program. Married
with two children, Lori is a registered
nurse who lives outside Barrie.
Here, Lori shares her story.
I often forget about my battle with
breast cancer. I know that sounds
impossible, but I think there are a
few reasons for this.
I kept a positive outlook throughout
the ordeal, viewing it as an obstacle
to be overcome. And then there
was my busy family life; we all just
kept going and didn’t let the cancer
slow us down. Really, the experience
brought us closer together. The
great health care I received along
the way, especially through
Sunnybrook’s program, definitely
made things easier.
It wasn’t all sunshine. There were
times when I was terrified.
I didn’t have to think very long about
getting the double mastectomy.
I just wanted the cancer out of me
for good. Having immediate breast
reconstruction available made my
decision simpler, as I didn’t want
to go months without breasts.
The surgery helped me regain a
sensual and important part of who
I am as a woman.
Sunnybrook Foundation is seeking
support for this vital service so
that women can gain quicker
access to care. Due to high demand
for our breast reconstruction
expertise, current wait times are
longer than ideal.
My care at the clinic was fantastic,
from the initial consultation to postsurgery visits. By the time the first
consultation wrapped up, I knew
everything was going to be OK.
The weight had been lifted off my
shoulders.
Today, my future is bright, and I look
forward to living to the ripe-old age
of 100.

It’s been said that waiting is the hardest

Women with breast cancer symptoms are
too often put through a terrible waiting
period for results and a treatment plan,
sometimes as many as six weeks.
That delay wears them down with
unbelievable stress, and it shouldn’t
be that way. Women need to get started
on treatment as soon as possible, so
they can return to living their lives.
I’m so proud to play a role in the creation
of the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer
Centre, because it will revolutionize
breast cancer care in Canada. Here,
Sunnybrook’s experts will advance
breast imaging technology to find cancer
as early as possible, and offer a range
of specialized care to those in need.
They will pioneer and test the latest
treatments through innovative research,
and in the Rapid Diagnosis Unit, women
will receive treatment plans within
just 24 hours. It will put an end to that
unbearable waiting.
Fighting breast cancer is my passion.

Unleashing
MRI
After leading research to show magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is the best way
to detect breast cancer in women at
high risk for the disease, Sunnybrook’s
experts are now focused on getting the
technology widely used in screening – to
save more lives through early detection.
That’s where Dr. Anne Martel, a senior
scientist at Sunnybrook Research
Institute, comes in.
“We’ve already developed a unique
database of MRI breast screening
images and are using this to ‘train’ a
computer system to find abnormalities
in the images and decide whether these
are cancer,” says Dr. Martel, whose
complex research in computer-aided
detection has received funding from the
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
With greater sensitivity than other imaging
technologies, MRI picks up hard-to-see
abnormalities. However, it also detects
spots not worth worrying about.
Through computer-aided detection,
Dr. Martel aims to address this and other
MRI-related challenges. These include
the relative ease with which humans can
analyze mammography images versus
MRI scans. By creating software that
can quickly scrutinize MRI scans and
pinpoint possible tumours, Dr. Martel
says radiologists will be better able to
unleash the full potential of MRI.
In doing so, the software promises
to save lives by helping find breast
cancer earlier.

Looking into
the Heart
A new life-saving view of patients’ hearts
is “a dream come true” for Sunnybrook
scientists.
Thanks to a new magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) machine – one of the world’s
first equipped to provide information
about the inner workings of a patient’s
heart cells.
“We will now be able to tell if the metabolism
inside the heart cells is in a normal state
or a diseased state,” says Dr. Charles
Cunningham, a physicist in the Schulich
Heart Research Program. “It’s aimed at
finding patients with the highest risk for
death from heart failure and to treat
them before it’s too late.”
The mortality rate due to heart failure in
the years following a heart attack or other
heart injury is high, with 30 to 40 per cent of
people diagnosed with heart failure dying
within one year. Dr. Cunningham has been
developing a new imaging method that’s
showing great promise as a tool in the
management of these patients. Using the
new $2-million system – known as metabolic
MRI – scientists can make images of the
metabolism in the heart muscle, capturing
chemical reactions as they occur.
“We don’t know what we are going to find,”
Dr. Cunningham says. “But it’s a dream
come true. This has the potential to change
the way we manage patients with heart

PROOF that
research is
making a real difference
in people’s lives – today.
Searching online for a solution
to her painful uterine fibroids,
Kristin stumbled upon an
experimental procedure still
in the research stage at
Sunnybrook.
The non-invasive treatment
offered an alternative to
myomectomy, surgery to
remove the fibroids, or
hysterectomy, which leaves
the woman in-fertile, and
meant she could return to
her routine the next day.
“It was very exciting to be
part of this trial because it is
going to change the lives of
women forever,” says Kristin.
“It just really made sense to
me to participate.”
Indeed, the treatment, which
involves MRI-guided highintensity focused ultrasound,
has shown promising results
in the 19 patients at Sunnybrook
so far. Dr. Elizabeth David,
the study’s principal investigator, says she’s confident
it will become standard
treatment with a few tweaks
and adjustments.
“There is no incision, no
scarring and very little postoperative care. It’s truly
non-invasive, where everything else is really minimally
invasive,” says Dr. David.
“HIFU doesn’t even involve
a needle.”
“It was wonderful to be back
to my normal routine the
next day,” Kristin says, adding
she noticed a reduction
of abdominal discomfort
immediately. “I had the treatment, and went home to a
nice dinner with my family.”

Picture tiny bubbles floating to the top

to make locally advanced breast cancer
more responsive to chemotherapy
and radiation.
The image helps illustrate groundbreaking
research by Dr. Gregory Czarnota,
a Sunnybrook radiation oncologist who
is manipulating tiny gas-filled bubbles
to improve cancer treatment.
“Contrast agents and the tiny bubbles
within them help us see cancer better. By
agitating the microbubbles with focused
ultrasound and causing them to bounce
around within the blood vessels of a
tumour, we can ultimately damage the
cancer cells and make them much
more susceptible to radiation and drug
treatments,” Dr. Czarnota says.
Dr. Czarnota is the first in the world to
show microbubbles within imaging
contrast agents can be used to magnify
the cancer-killing power of radiation.
In early stage testing, he is using
microbubbles and focused ultrasound
“This means far less radiation is needed
to achieve the same results.”
Locally advanced breast cancer has
an extremely high mortality rate within
two years of diagnosis. Our leadingedge microbubble research, which has
received a $1-million boost from the
Breast Cancer Society of Canada,
offers hope to future patients facing
the disease.
“The organization’s support will allow
us to scale up these treatments,
moving them out of the laboratory
and into breast cancer patients
in the next three to five years,”
Dr. Czarnota notes.

INCREDIBLE
JOURNEY
From Croatia to Sunnybrook,
Anna Leibenko makes
a miraculous recovery.

SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
Anna Leibenko and her brother Artem.
“We are so grateful for the excellent care
she received here. She’s happy – and most
importantly, she’s still in our lives.”
Anna Leibenko was stranded
on life support in Croatia last
summer after she slipped off a
three-metre-high catamaran,
hitting her head on the ledge
and plunging into the Adriatic Sea
unconsciously. Today, the 24year-old former Toronto Argos
cheerleader is continuing her
miraculous recovery in rehab –
but has no memory of the accident.
Her brother, Artem Leibenko,
recalls how Sunnybrook came to
Anna’s rescue:
It was 3 a.m. when our mother got the
call from Croatia. It was from one of
Anna’s friends; they were travelling
together on a month-long vacation.
They said not to worry, but later,
an English-speaking doctor from
Split, Croatia told me she suffered
multiple head and facial fractures,
concussions, internal brain bleeding,
and was in a coma with a broken
nose. I was shocked.
Anna didn’t have travel insurance.
We made a public plea to raise money
to cover her massive health-care
bills and a $93,550 fee to transport
her home by air ambulance. Thanks
to everyone who helped, she arrived
at Sunnybrook in early September. I
couldn’t bear to see her hooked up to
a machine. It was heartbreaking.
Anna remained in a coma at
Sunnybrook. Doctors didn’t know
if she was going to wake up. After
two weeks, she was taken off the
ventilator and she opened her eyes.
We didn’t know if she was responsive.
She was just lying there, wasn’t
talking. When she did speak at first,
it was gibberish. But soon, my sister
was talking again, telling me plans
for once she got out of the hospital.
Sunnybrook specializes in trauma
and we are so grateful for the
excellent care she received here. She
can now keep a normal conversation.
She’s happy – and most importantly,
she’s still in our lives.

Answering
the Call
On July 16, 2012, a Danzig Street
party ended with two people killed
and 23 wounded in the worst
mass shooting in Toronto’s history.
Sunnybrook received the seriously injured, but we were ready for
it – thanks to donor support that
doubled our trauma capacity. Dr.
Homer Tien, medical director of the
Tory Regional Trauma Centre, the
largest in Canada, recounts how
Sunnybrook’s experts coped with
this incident:
I was home when I got a call from my
resident. He said, “We just got word
there might be 10 to 20 gunshot-wound
patients en route.” It was the type of call
I might expect during one of my tours
26
SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
in Afghanistan as a trauma surgeon with
the Canadian military, but not here in
Toronto. “You’re kidding, right?” I replied.
I live across the street from Sunnybrook.
By the time I got in five minutes later,
we had more information: two were dead
at the scene and five to 10 victims were
coming to Sunnybrook. We activated
Code Orange, the code for mass
casualties.
It was the largest number of gunshot
wound victims I had ever treated in the
shortest period of time. Six patients with
gunshot wounds arrived within 15 minutes.
About 70 to 100 staff worked that night
related to the shooting, including two
staff surgeons and two fellows, who
operated on the patients.
The great thing about Sunnybrook is
that trauma is one of our key strategic
programs, and so, the whole hospital
thinks “trauma.” Hospital staff were all
volunteering to stay past the end of their
shifts to help with these patients. That
incident resonated with people in a way
that they said, “Yes, this is why we are
here,” and there was a confidence that
we can do things here that no one else
can do. Everyone knew: “OK, it’s time
to get our game face on, because this is
what we do best.”
And because of our generous donors,
our staff had the space and capacity to
deal effectively with these patients. It
was a great team effort.

Sunnybrook trauma patients have
100,000 reasons to celebrate

To mark its centennial in 2012, Dufferin

“It’s such a big hospital and the service
is impressive and efficient,” says
Eddy Marin, Dufferin Construction’s
central district manager. “Despite the
safe work environment we provide,
our employees do – albeit rarely – get
injured on the job, and Sunnybrook is
always there when they do.”
Above all, the gift helped Dufferin
Construction celebrate the milestone
by giving back to communities where
its employees live and work.
“Sunnybrook is one of our area hospitals.
It’s a world-renowned hospital in our
community,” Eddy says. “At the end of
the day, we are hoping our donation
can continue Sunnybrook’s quest to
save lives.”

YOU CAN SPOT JOHN BENNETT by the
colours of his shoes – black and mottled
with a rainbow of paint splatter.
John, 94, is a Second World War veteran
at Sunnybrook’s Veterans Centre, where
he has enjoyed a life full of colours for
two years.
“I love it here,” he says. “I’m being taken
good care of and I like the freedom to do
art – that’s my whole life.”
A painter since the age of six, John has
created about 7,000 paintings over his
lifetime. Last year, the Canadian War
Museum in Ottawa accepted 78 of his
paintings into its collection. The watercolour paintings capture his experiences
in the war, beginning in 1943 when he
was an army infantry camouflage officer,
in the woodlands of Normandy, Belgium
and Holland.
“I made time to paint during the war – I
had my own jeep and I always took my
art supplies with me,” he recalls.
With the support of the art therapy
program at the Veterans Centre, John
continues to express himself creatively
through a variety of mediums. Since
coming to Sunnybrook, he has also taken
up fused glass.
“I interpret and reinterpret things – I steal
ideas from newspaper clippings or photographs I collect,” he says. “I do some art
just about every day.”

Sunnybrook veterans are riding in

generously donated by the Royal
Canadian Legion.
Dubbed “Legionnaire” by the residents
of the Veterans Centre, the 30-seat bus
sports a contemporary look with large
poppies and the words “Lest We Forget”
along the side. It replaces the Bullet II,
which served the veterans for the past 10
years. It’s the third bus the Royal Canadian
Legion has donated to Sunnybrook
veterans over the years.
“Sunnybrook is the largest Veterans
residence in Canada. It’s close to us and
we all get a chance to visit there. We talk
to the veterans, identify their needs and
try to make their quality of life better,”
says Bill Chafe, past chairman of the Royal
Canadian Legion Tri-District Hospital
Committee District ABC. “It was great
to see their reactions when we unveiled
the bus – shock, surprise, laughter,
smiles – it was a mix of emotions.”
Each month, with the support of
recreation therapists, Sunnybrook
veterans enjoy more than 30 planned
community outings either to sports
and cultural events, shopping, or longer
excursions such as to Niagara Falls or
the annual getaway to summer camp
on beautiful Lake Joseph.
“Without this bus we would be shut-ins,”
says John Manestar, a Second World
War veteran and resident of the Veterans
Centre. “We are so grateful to the Legion
for this remarkable donation to the
hospital and the lives of Canadian
war veterans.”

One-year-old Joseph is climbing

and terrorizing his big sister
Kaeleigh – pulling her hair and
stealing her food.
His parents couldn’t be happier.
“One of our biggest fears when he
was born premature was that he

says mom Rebecca Noronha. “But
he’s doing absolutely everything

Joseph, born at less than 2 lbs.,
had an early start to life. Rebecca
went into labour just 25 weeks
into her pregnancy, and was
transferred to Sunnybrook from
her local hospital. Sunnybrook,
she was told, had the life-saving
care she and Joseph needed in
both our High Risk Obstetrical
Unit and the Newton Glassman
Charitable Foundation Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit where Joseph
stayed for more than a month.
“It was an excellent experience,”
says Rebecca. “I tell everyone that
Sunnybrook is amazing.”
But it was the care Joseph received
after leaving Sunnybrook that really
made the difference, she says.
Our extensive DeFrancesco Family
NICU Follow-Up Clinic continues
to care for these patients for up to
six years, far longer than programs
at other centres. Here, Joseph
got the care he needed – including
exercises to encourage development – for the best start in life.
And three-year-old Kaeleigh?
She doesn’t mind being terrorized

His own son was born three months
premature 14 years ago, weighed just
2 lbs. and spent considerable time in
the neonatal intensive care unit.
He understands the importance of
staff who provide the most advanced
care, giving each tiny baby the best

“I just want to support Sunnybrook;

Philip. “The staff really cares about
each baby’s life. They do more than

A Clear
View
of the C
Nature knows best when it comes to
delivering twins.
So says an international study led by
researchers in our Women & Babies
Program. It found that vaginal birth of
twins is just as safe as C-section– a
result that could reverse birthing trends
around the world.
“The perception is that C-section may
be safer for the baby, but the Twin Birth
Study has proved this is not true. The
evidence is clear that C-section for
twins is not the best plan,” says Dr. Jon
Barrett, chief of Sunnybrook’s Maternal
Fetal Medicine and the nine-year
study’s lead investigator.
“Women expecting twins should be
encouraged to plan for a vaginal
birth, provided that an obstetrician,
experienced in twin vaginal births,
will be available at delivery.”
The best method of delivering twins
has been controversial, with planned
C-section gaining support in recent
years. However, the Twin Birth Study
found no significant difference in
outcome between natural birth and
C-section, the latter previously believed
to have lower risk associated with
birth trauma or death.
The study also found that women who
planned for C-section delivered earlier
than those who planned for vaginal birth.
Twins are at significant higher risk of
complications around the time of
labour and birth than singletons, and
the number of twin births has increased
by at least 40 per cent over the last
decade due to in vitro fertilization.
“There’s a trend for C-section generally,
and this may have implications for the
mother’s next pregnancy,” Dr. Barrett
says. “We hope the results from
our study will change dramatically the
way twins are delivered worldwide.
It will hopefully reverse the trend and
prompt the need for more training for
vaginal births.”

SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
Over the past year, Sunnybrook has grabbed
headlines around the world.
Be it our groundbreaking research, life-saving
care or simply the way Sunnybrook touches
the community, media outlets are watching.
In June 2012, the Globe and
Mail featured a piece headlined “$10-million gift will raise
profile of anxiety disorders.”
The story described the
specialized care for obsessive
compulsive disorder patients
that would be provided in the
newly established Frederick W.
Thompson Anxiety Disorders
Centre at Sunnybrook.
When Toronto’s mass
shooting hit Danzig Street
last summer, many of the
victims were brought to
Sunnybrook. The Toronto
Star told the story of how
Dr. Homer Tien’s experience
as a trauma surgeon in
Kandahar saved lives that day.
In December 2012, research
into an MRI-guided highintensity focused ultrasound
technique to treat tremor
patients was widely covered
in press from Canadian coast
to coast, as well as by news
outlets as far flung as the
U.K.’s Daily Mail.
Sunnybrook has a strong
community presence — and
that too is reflected in the
pages of the press. In features
in Canada’s daily newspapers
about a psychiatric nurse
retiring after 40 years, our
Bay Street Grand Prix kartracing extravaganza in downtown Toronto and the Stanley

Edmond Odette, c.m.
A
true Sunnybrook champion and a leading Canadian philanthropist,
Edmond G. Odette passed away November 17, 2012 at the age of 86.
Mr. Odette and his wife Gloria, who predeceased him, made a landmark gift to
Sunnybrook’s cancer care and research in 2007, which was celebrated with the naming
of the Edmond Odette Cancer Centre.
“Mr. and Mrs. Odette’s generosity has been essential in allowing Sunnybrook to build
advanced facilities, purchase leading-edge equipment, attract talented medical
professionals and pioneer the treatments of tomorrow,” says Dr. Barry McLellan,
Sunnybrook’s president and CEO.
Their philanthropic vision was characterized by a keen interest in the projects they
supported. “Ed was so engaged when it came to the care provided to Sunnybrook
patients. We would sit and chat in my office, discussing a vision for the future. I’ll miss
those one-on-one experiences,” says Dr. Andy Smith, chief of the Odette Cancer Centre.
Mr. Odette, a Member of the Order of Canada, aided many aspects of Sunnybrook’s
cancer care, including the recent modernization and expansion of the centre’s
Chemotherapy Unit and Gloria Odette Pharmacy. The family’s generosity has impacted
many Sunnybrook patients over the years in a wide range of program areas, including
heart, orthopedics and imaging.
“Mr. Odette demonstrated the importance of community support in advancing healthcare services. Without the Odettes’ support, we simply would not be able to deliver
some of our most innovative care,” says Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, Sunnybrook Foundation
president and CEO.
