Hamilton health sciences Foundation
2010 Donor report
The Art of Caring
Health Care, Transformed.
From the Chair of the Board of Directors and CEO,
Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation
Each day people of all ages pass through the doors of
our six hospitals and cancer centre, and each day we are
grateful for the donors, staff and volunteers who help us
transform the lives of those very same people.
Michael
Schwenger
Chair, Board of
Directors
Hamilton Health
Sciences Foundation
The art of caring is evident throughout our sites as a
broad spectrum of people give tirelessly of themselves,
from the front-line health care workers to a broad
community of volunteers and donors, and of course our
Foundation staff. Each offers something unique that
collectively allows us to build a stronger Foundation and
offer support to so many people across our region. For
each and every one, we are truly grateful.
It was a transformational year as we completed the
development of our five-year strategic plan along with
a supporting one-year fundraising and business plan.
It was also a year in which we celebrated significant
milestones, such as the opening of the David Braley
Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke Research Institute and the
first phase of Juravinski Hospital. Both of these openings
paid tribute to individuals, corporations and foundations
whose dedication and commitment to health care in this
region were instrumental in our success and for whom
we are truly appreciative.

Hamilton Health
Sciences Foundation
This year’s annual report reflects the themes that unite
us as Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, while also
showcasing the many unique aspects of the individual
sites that we support. Together, we are pleased to report
that we raised $21.6 million before investment income
and subsequently disbursed more than $8.2 million in
support of patient programs and amenities, equipment,
research, education and renovations.
Our Board and Fundraising Councils are an integral
part of the Foundation structure and we are very
appreciative of their dedication and commitment. We
would like to thank Board Members: John Bukovac,
Ken Leendertse, Kim Mason and Virginia McKenna for
their service on the Board. Each made a tremendous
contribution on behalf of Hamilton Health Sciences
Foundation and in the case of John, Ken and Kim their
respective Councils. We extend a very special thank you
Michael Schwenger
to Virginia McKenna who worked tirelessly throughout
our successful amalgamations to ensure that we built
a strong foundation of Board Governance. We are
also appreciative of the efforts of departing Council
members: Vickie Baird, Larry Culver, Steve Howse,
Duncan Gillespie, Ken Leendertse and Peter Tekker
for their commitment to the Foundation.
We would also like to pay special tribute to Don Pether
for his leadership from June 2007 to March 2010, as
Board Chair during the formative years for the new
Foundation. His contributions as we worked through
some of the most challenging years in the Foundation’s
history are truly appreciated.
In 2010, there were also changes in the leadership at two
of the sites we support. We extend a very special thank
you to Charlotte Daniels for her 36 years at Hamilton
General Hospital, and to Donna Cripps for her 20 years
at St. Peter’s Hospital. They have both been tremendous
advocates and supporters of the Foundation and we wish
them well as they each embark on new chapters in their
lives. We were also pleased to welcome Teresa Smith as
Integrated Vice President, Patient Services for Hamilton
Health Sciences and Site Lead for Hamilton General
Hospital and Rebecca Repa as President, St. Peter’s
Hospital. We look forward to a wonderfully collaborative
relationship and we are already benefitting from their
contributions to their respective Councils.
During the year we welcomed two new dynamic Board
Members, Mark Hunter and Barry Guest. Mark is a
Partner with Brownlow Partners, Chartered Accountants
and is also the new Vice Chair of the Cardiac, Vascular
and Stroke Fundraising Council. Barry Guest is
Vice President Marketing and General Manager with
Blockbuster Canada and energetically stepped into the
leadership role of the McMaster Children’s Fundraising
Council and consequently the Board as well.
To all of our volunteers, donors and staff, thank you for
helping us to succeed in 2010.

Mission
Our mission is 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.
Vision
Achieving exceptional philanthropy for health care and research to enable Hamilton Health Sciences
to become leaders in exemplary care, innovation and academic excellence.
About This Year’s Theme
– The Art of Caring
Craig Laviolette

President & CEO
From the Chair of the Board of Directors
and CEO, Hamilton Health Sciences
Three years ago, Hamilton Health Sciences embarked on an ambitious
plan that would redefine the role of our hospital sites and ensure
the best outcomes for patients. With input from the community,
physicians, staff and our health care partners, we focused on three
things that matter to everyone who uses our services – access, quality
and sustainability. This means better organizing services, in new
purpose-built facilities, to deliver the right kind of care to the people
of this city and region.
In 2010, we achieved many milestones as part of our plan, including
the opening of the David Braley Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke
Research Institute in March. The opening of this Institute amplified
Hamilton’s role as a world leading centre for cardiac, vascular and
stroke research. The building is named after David Braley who was
pleased to support a research institute that impacts the health of
people in the city and around the world.
In August, we were excited to open Phase 1A of the Juravinski Hospital
and to honour Charles and Margaret Juravinski for their tremendous
generosity. We all owe this remarkable couple a great deal of gratitude
for their incredible contribution to health care across our region.
Also celebrated as part of the opening was one of the first major
Access to the Best Care-related service transfers; the consolidation
of the hematology/oncology units into one centre of excellence at the
Juravinski. The completion of this phase of the redevelopment has
enabled other projects to move forward, including construction of
the new pediatric emergency department at McMaster Children’s
Hospital.
While Hamilton Health Sciences is a leader in innovation and quality
care, it is also clear that accomplishments do not happen in isolation.
Much of what we were able to celebrate in 2010 was a direct result of
the financial support we received from individuals, corporations and
community partners, who are committed to investing in the future
of health care. On behalf of Hamilton Health Sciences, thank you for
your confidence and support.
Craig Laviolette Murray T. Martin
The science of caring is integral to the health
needs of our patients, however, it is the art of
caring that helps to meet the emotional needs
of most patients and their families. They
remember the helpful hands of a volunteer,
physician or health professional; or the smile
or hug that brightened a day.
There are so many different ways that the
true art of caring is demonstrated at each of
our sites, and we have chosen to highlight two
physical examples of that emotional connection
through the cover of this year’s donor report.
In the oil painting “To Dance” the children
are expressing their innocence, joy and
wonderment through dance. Anna Sponer,
the Hamilton-born artist, portrays the sense
that the struggle for life can often become a
celebration of life. Generously donated to
McMaster Children’s Hospital, this painting
portrays the emotion behind what we wish for
every child in our care.

just one of the transitioning colours that are
used in Snoezelen Therapy at St. Peter’s
Hospital. An innovative and artistic way to
stimulate, calm, relax or energize a patient
suffering from dementia, this treatment is
customized to meet an individual patient’s
needs.

The six-storey building, named in recognition of the
transformational $10-million gift made by Senator David
Braley, includes 200,000 square feet of new research space,
laboratories, meeting rooms, offices and breakout spaces.
The facility also houses Canada’s largest biobank, which
stores more than 1.8 million tissue and genetic research
samples from approximately 250,000 participants from
around the globe.
“I am very pleased to support research at this fine institution
as it impacts the health of people in this city and around the
world,” said Senator Braley, who in June was the recipient
of a 2010 Cornerstone Award for his commitment and
contributions to health care.
The Research Institute is home to two world-renowned
research teams - the Population Health Research Institute
(PHRI) led by Executive Director Dr. Salim Yusuf, and the
Thrombosis and Atherosclerosis Research Institute (TaARI)
led by Director Dr. Jeffrey Weitz. Working side-by-side for
the first time, these two teams will be able to share ideas and
knowledge that will improve the health of millions of people
around the world.
Supporting new discoveries
Grants for Cancer Research and Education
Donations designated for research make it possible
for the Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation to fund
important research and educational initiatives. In
2010, the Foundation provided more than $500,000
in grants to 21 staff and researchers at Juravinski
Hospital and Cancer Centre, including the worldleading research of Dr. Theos Tsakiridis.
During the past few years, with support funding
from the Foundation, Dr. Tsakiridis and his team
have pursued studies that investigated the potential
of Lovastatin, a widely used anti-cholesterol agent,
to enhance the toxic effects of radiation on non-small
cell lung cancer cells.
Given lung cancer’s treatment-failure rates of up to
85 per cent due to its resistance to radiation, there is
an urgent need to develop new agents that improve
patient outcomes.
Recently, Dr. Tsakiridis completed pre-clinical
studies, which show the drug sensitizes these cancer
cells to radiation, work that has been accepted for
publication in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology.
Thanks to a $25,000 research grant approved in
2010, Dr.Tsakiridis will have the necessary funding to
complete his pre-clinical investigation of Lovostatin
as a radiosensitizer.
If successful, this important study will serve as an
essential step in the development of this agent as
a promising new treatment and allow for its use in
early phase clinical trials in patients with lung cancer.

Gala’s Success Supports
Fundamental Research
The 2010 Hamilton Health Sciences Gala, Bollywood Circus, took
place February 20th and raised over $213,000 in support of new
research initiatives at Hamilton Health Sciences.
Research is as fundamental to our hospitals
as patient care and education. Funds
raised at the Gala supports many vital
research initiatives. One of these initiatives
is the New Investigator Fund that was
established to foster and support a culture
of inquiry for researchers early in their
careers. Two investigators were highlighted
at the 2010 Gala; Dr. Jennie Johnstone
and Dr. Guillaume Paré. The work they
are doing today is focused on enhancing
patient outcomes in the fields of stroke
and influenza. This program has awarded
more than $4.5 million to 261 researchers
at Hamilton Health Sciences.

Juravinski Hospital Opens to Patients
Following the completion of the first phase of construction, the
new Juravinski Hospital officially opened its doors on August 3rd.
Made possible thanks to significant provincial funding and the
support of thousands of donors, including a multi-million gift
from Margaret and Charles Juravinski, the redevelopment
has significantly increased the Hospital’s overall capacity and
enabled enhanced inpatient support for the Cancer Centre and
Orthopedic programs.

“Margaret and I are honoured to be here today to see the
realization of this magnificent new facility,” said Charles
Juravinski. “When we made the decision to donate to health
care, we knew its impact would help those from all walks of life
– we are excited by the opportunity to touch so many lives by
committing to support the most basic human need.”

This beautiful, state-of-the-art facility features a 60 percent
larger emergency department, expanded Intensive Care and
Diagnostic Imaging units, as well as nine new operating rooms
and a cancer therapy suite.
To ensure a more comfortable stay, the Hospital’s 90 spacious,
new patient rooms were each designed and equipped to meet
specific needs. These bright and inviting spaces feature large
windows with picturesque views of the Hamilton skyline and
provide additional privacy, ample seating for loved ones and
more room for patients in wheelchairs.
Construction on the remaining phases of the project continues,
as do efforts to fund the equipment in the recently opened
units. Once completed, the redevelopment will rank as one of
Hamilton Health Sciences’ largest ever hospital building projects.

A New Dimension of Cardiac Care
Members of the Adrian Yaffe Society
celebrated a milestone at its first annual
reception event on September 28th.
Thanks to the generous support of its
Members, the Society announced it had
raised more than $200,000; these funds
supported the purchase of two new
three-dimensional echocardiography
machines for the Hospital.
In addition to announcing the equipment
purchase, the Society’s Advisory
Committee used the opportunity to
recognize Founding Members for
Image from new 3-D echocardiography machine.
their significant contributions and
ongoing support. This diverse group
of community members, physicians
and senior hospital leadership has been
instrumental in ensuring the Society’s
successful launch.
Members in attendance were treated
to a first-hand demonstration showing
the capabilities of the new 3-D machine
by Dr. Hisham Dokainish, Director of
Echocardiography at Hamilton General
Hospital. With access to this advanced
technology, Hospital physicians can
now more accurately image the walls
and internal valves of a beating heart,
leading to improved diagnoses for the
thousands of cardiac patients treated at
the General each year.
The Society, which honours the legacy
of Dr. Adrian Yaffe, a medical pioneer
who contributed so much to advancing
the field of cardiac care and research,
supports priority equipment purchases
for the Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke
program at Hamilton General.
Gift of Stocks, an Alternative
to Traditional Donations
Martin and Christine LaPointe from Brantford know
Mac Kids well. Their daughter, Charlotte, received
care at the hospital multiple times in her young life
including surgery and a trip to Mac Kids’ emergency
department with gastroenteritis. Thanks to the
excellent care this young family received, they have
made gifts of stock to Mac Kids every year since 2006.
In 2010, the couple also made a generous $50,000
pledge gift towards the purchase of much needed
Emergency Department equipment. Their gift will
have a profound impact on the level of care we can
provide to thousands of children every year. By
matching our equipment with the expertise of our
medical staff, children will receive the most accurate,
timely, and non-invasive treatment available.

The Connor Courtyards – a Therapeutic Environment at St. Peter’s
In appreciation for Ralph and Eileen Connor’s
generous donations, St. Peter’s has named all
three courtyards in the Alexander Pavilion The
Connor Courtyards. The courtyards are areas
in which patients can freely access the fresh air
and gardens in the Alexander Pavilion. The
heated pathways ensure patients stay safe so
that they can enjoy the courtyards year-round.
Eileen’s mother had Alzheimer’s and she has
vivid memories of the lack of care available
for her mother so she really appreciates the
value of the care that patients receive in the
Alexander Pavilion and recognize how far
care has progressed since her mother was ill.
Their long-standing history with the Hospital
also made St. Peter’s a natural place to give.
As a lifelong resident of Hamilton, and owner
of Connor Insurance, Ralph indicated that
“we decided it was time to share our success
with our fellow community members. We
don’t consider ourselves wealthy but we have
enough for ourselves plus a little extra to help
others.”
The Connors continue to support both
research and the greatest needs within
the Alexander Pavilion and through their
generosity they are making a difference for
patients who otherwise might not have the
ability to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.

Art Expression for Alexander Pavilion Patients
For 16 weeks in 2010, artist Diane Beatty-Wearing conducted an art class for the patients of the
Alexander Pavilion at St. Peter’s. Eight patients were actively involved and many others were art
patrons and supported the group.
Patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia often have deteriorating verbal skills and may find it
difficult to express themselves. Confusion and high emotions are sometimes apparent with
these illnesses. Although art does not eliminate these symptoms, it does provide an outlet for
their emotions. Through art these patients have a vehicle for communication, friendship and
enjoyment. It connects with the spirit and can enhance the lives of patients.
Donations to the Foundation enabled us to fund this therapeutic program that was designed to
provide insights into our patients’ lives so that the quality of care and life for our patients could
be enhanced.

Every Gift Counts
Every Gift Counts
Providing the best in health care takes an entire community of loyal
supporters including more than 47,000 donors which includes more
than 3,600 monthly donors.
Monthly giving is a convenient way to make ongoing donations. It
allows individuals to make a larger gift that is spread over the entire
year. This provides the Foundation with a stream of predictable and
ongoing gifts and enables essential equipment purchases.
In 2002, Mr. Birkett joined our monthly giving program. He says,
“It’s a Canadian idea that you give back for what you’re receiving. I’m
giving back for the care that I’ve been given. The hospitals and cancer
centre have expenses throughout the year and monthly giving allows
me to support Hamilton Health Sciences all year. A credit card is an
easy way to give monthly.”
A memorial gift does more than honour a life and send condolences
to a bereaved family. It makes a difference for other patients now
and in the future. Memorial gifts are used to support equipment
purchases, staff education, redevelopment of our facilities and
research. Remembering and honouring friends and loved ones is a
meaningful and lasting way to directly enhance care.
Whether you choose to honour the life of someone dear to you,
celebrate a special occasion or become a member of one of our
Monthly Giving Clubs, your donation improves the lives of others.

the Mac Kids documentary
Miracles Big and Small.
Mac Kids Miracle Weekend is intended to raise
awareness of the work of Mac Kids, to recognize
the contribution of donors and to encourage the
community to financially support Mac Kids. In
previous years this was accomplished through a live
telethon. In June 2010, the show took on a new format
as CHCH TV showcased the hospital’s achievements
by interviewing over 30 patients, doctors and families
during its live news segments throughout the entire
day on Friday.
Patients feel the impact of Miracle Weekend every
day as this event is the culmination and celebration
of a year’s worth of giving. We opened up different
channels for giving in the 2010 broadcast including
online and mobile giving which represented 25
percent of the donations received over that weekend.
In conjunction with the live broadcasts an emotional
90-minute documentary called Mac Kids Presents:
‘Miracles Big and Small’ was produced. The
documentary aired multiple times throughout the
weekend and conveyed heart-wrenching stories of
the struggles and triumphs that the staff, patients and
families at Mac Kids experience every day.

Brantford Family Makes Major Gift
No one wants to be in the hospital being treated for
cancer, but having the right space, the right equipment
and the right people can make all the difference in the
world. The Calbeck family support this belief, making
a generous pledge of $25,000. This major gift will
cover the costs of furnishing an Oncology inpatient
room to be dedicated in the Family’s honour.
“People lose sight of the fact that this state-of-the-art
facility is still in need of donor support to ensure topquality care for patients,” said Lance Calbeck. “We
decided to give because of the long history my family
has with the cancer program here. My parents, Joanne
and Jack, were both treated at the Cancer Centre
before their passing, so we understand its regional
importance.
The Calbecks have been longtime Foundation
supporters with a donation history dating back more
than 10 years, including several gifts made through
the Joanne Calbeck Memorial Foundation.

“Scotiabank has led the way with their
endowment of the Scotiabank Chair in Child
Health Research. Their generosity has made the
vision of the MCHRI a reality.”
Dr. Peter Rosenbaum
Scotiabank Chair in Child Health
Scotiabank – A Partner in Transformation
Scotiabank’s commitment and dedication to the children in our
community, region and around the world was solidified in 2010,
with the completion of their multi-year funding commitment for
the Scotiabank Chair in Child Health Research at the McMaster
Children Health Research Institute (MCHRI) within McMaster
MCHRI brings together scientific leaders who are at the
forefront of child development research in Canada. Under the
leadership of Dr. Peter Rosenbaum, Director of the MCHRI,
and holder of the Scotiabank Chair in Child Health Research,
researchers have made great strides in better understanding
autism, obesity, childhood cancers, and neuromuscular diseases.

Many chronic diseases and disabilities share common elements.
They all affect how a child develops, interacts with their family
and loved ones, participates in the community and achieves
success in school. By working together and sharing knowledge,
researchers at MCHRI are discovering new ways of helping
children and their families to thrive.
In addition to this tremendous commitment, Scotiabank and
Scotiabankers enabled our investment in new child-appropriate
equipment in the 30-year old Ophthalmology Unit. These gifts
are just the latest in a legacy of giving that goes back more than
18 years at both the corporate and branch level through the
annual “Smiles for Mac Kids Campaign”.
This commitment is built on a tradition of philanthropy that is
focused on the future health, strength and prosperity of children
in south-central Ontario. Scotiabank’s support has made a
tremendous difference in the lives of thousands of children in
this region as their collective gifts have touched so many areas
of care.

Timely Intervention
Saves Vision
Nothing could be more devastating for
new parents than learning that your baby
has a life threatening condition. Parents
Bruce and Nicole had to endure that news
upon the birth of their baby girl, Jasmine,
who was born with a genetic condition.
Jasmine has Neurofibromatosis type 1
which is characterized by the growth of
tumours as well as changes in skin colouring.
Overwhelmed by emotion, Bruce and Nicole
were told Jasmine needed the expertise
of multiple care providers at McMaster
It was Mac Kids’ Ophthalmologist Dr. Sabri
who first spotted Jasmine’s tumour after she
had been experiencing reduced vision in her
left eye. Often the eyes will identify problems
with the brain before other symptoms are
noticed.
An urgent Cat Scan revealed devastating
news, Jasmine had tumours growing on the
optic nerves behind both of her eyes. “All
my dreams for my little girl’s future were
now so uncertain,” said Nicole. The tumours
had caused irreversible damage to the
vision in her one eye; but thanks to the early
diagnosis, there was still time to intervene
before Jasmine lost vision in her right eye
as well.
Jasmine is undergoing chemotherapy
treatment to stop the cancerous tumours
from growing and threatening her vision
further. She still has ongoing appointments
with Genetics and Ophthalmology and
uses glasses and patching techniques to
strengthen her remaining vision. The
Mac Kids healthcare team will continue
to monitor Jasmine closely throughout
her childhood. Timely diagnosis and early
intervention at Mac Kids saved the sight in
Jasmine’s one eye, and quite possibly, her life.

equipment has helped to
transform the lives and improve
the well-being of thousands of
children and families.
In order to provide the
best possible care, we must
continually invest in equipment
used by our medical teams,
ensuring that it meets the
highest standards of technology.
The majority of therapy for
children with physical disability
relies on specially designed
equipment. Enabled by this
donation, we purchased
equipment such as a Proxtalker
which is a voice output device
used to help assess patients
and train children to use more
technologically advanced
augmentative communication
devices. We were also able to
provide support for programs
that foster integration of
children into regular activities
in the community, as well
as enhancing the Holbrook
Building so that it is a more
welcoming, child and family
friendly environment.

Children’s Miracle
Network Highlights
Each year Mac Kids works with corporate partners on a
number of exciting annual initiatives. Some highlights from
2010 include:
The Champions presented by Walmart is a program
honouring remarkable children who have triumphed despite
medical challenges. Our 2010 Champion was Dustin Berry
who overcame a devastating brain tumour. In his role, he
traveled to Ottawa and Orlando to share the message that he
is alive because of Mac Kids.
Astral Media’s National Day of Caring Radiothon took
place in April from the hospital lobby. When stories of how
Mac Kids made a difference in the lives of its patients and
their families were broadcast, listeners were encouraged to
sign-up for the monthly giving program.
TD Canada Trust encouraged customers in the region to
support Mac Kids through automated monthly donations
during their fundraising program. TD matches up to $1
million of their customer’s donations each year to give to
children’s hospitals across Canada.
Mac Kids ambassador Dustin Berry and family met with
the Governor General of Canada, His Excellency, the Right
Honourable David Johnston.

World-Class Care Close
to Home
While on vacation in Northern Ontario,
Hamilton resident Dave Zelinski had a
stroke.
“Not knowing what’s wrong with you is a
terrifying feeling,” says Dave. “One day I
was out relaxing on the lake fishing and the
next day, I was having trouble speaking. A
few hours later I couldn’t speak at all and
my wife noticed that my face had dropped
on one side.”
Dave’s wife rushed him to the local hospital
where doctors confirmed he had suffered a
stroke. As the hospital was not equipped to
deal with stroke patients, Dave was air-lifted
to Hamilton General Hospital for urgent
treatment in the Regional Stroke Program.
Though doctors were able to quickly
restore blood flow to the affected area of
his brain, Dave would spend the next two
weeks recovering at The General. During
that time, doctors monitored his progress
24 hours a day to ensure he did not suffer
another stroke and Dave worked with
physiotherapists, occupational therapists
and speech language pathologists to help
him regain function.
“You can’t prepare for things like this, they
happen unexpectedly. The best thing you
can hope for is expert help to tell you what’s
wrong and make you better.”
Thanks to the specialized interventional care
he received upon arriving at The General
and work of the dedicated staff in the
Hospital’s Stroke Rehabilitation Program,
Dave has made a full recovery.
“I’m so grateful to have an elite centre like
Hamilton General Hospital right here in my
community. The staff at The General saved
my life and, thanks to them, I am around
to provide for my family and see my kids
grow up.”

Open Heart Open
The 19th annual Open Heart Open
took place at Sundrim Golf Course
in Caledonia on August 25th.
Approximately 140 golfers participated
in the tournament, which has raised over
$750,000 since its debut in 1992. Each
year, proceeds are directed to the Heart
Fund to help secure priority equipment
and support cardiac programs at The
General.

wish to thank Boston Scientific for their
multi-year commitment as the sponsor.
Walk of Life
The 2nd annual Walk of Life was held at Bayfront
Park on Saturday, May 15, 2010. The 6 km walk was
organized by staff at Hamilton General Hospital
to help raise awareness and the necessary funds to
replace the Cardiac Rehabilitation Centre’s aging
fitness equipment.
Former patient Mike Dowhaniuk and Lin Mataseje, Kinesiologist at the Cardiac Health &
Rehabilitation Centre, cut the starting ribbon to begin the walk.
The event attracted more than 180 participants and
raised $33,000 for the purchase of new exercise bikes,
a treadmill, weigh scale, cooling fans and a sound
system for the Centre. This modern equipment will
greatly benefit patients recovering from heart attack,
bypass surgery and other cardiovascular issues.
Second MRI at The General
As the Regional Centre of Excellence
for cardiovascular health, trauma,
neurosciences, and stroke care, timely
access to Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) scans is integral to the quality
of care provided at Hamilton General
Hospital. With the Hospital’s existing
MRI operating at maximum capacity,
the addition of a second unit is urgently
needed to reduce wait times for scans,
which are currently the longest in the
region.
In October, the Ontario government
announced it would fund additional
hours for a second MRI at the site.
The announcement however, leaves
a significant funding gap in terms of
capital equipment and infrastructure
dollars to purchase and install the new
machine.
Focused on delivering top-quality
health care throughout the region,
has committed to raising $1-million
and will direct another $1-million in
previously secured funds to support
this high-priority equipment purchase.

Donors Get A Closer Look
Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at one of the country’s
leading health care and research centres?
Hamilton General Hospital’s A Closer Look event, which took place
on November 16, gave a select group of donors a sneak peek at life
in some of the Hospital’s most restricted areas and a chance to see
first-hand how their support impacts patient care.
Those in attendance were treated to a live demonstration of the
coiling of a brain aneurysm. Other donors were taken on an in-depth
tour of either the Neuro Interventional Suite, a Cardiac Operating
Room, or the Experimental Thrombosis Lab at the David Braley
Cardiac, Vascular and Stroke Research Institute.

Bone Marrow Transplant
Brings New Hope
When Anthony Moccio found out he had Acute
Myeloid Leukemia, it was not news he was
expecting. The rare blood cancer was picked up
by his doctor after blood-work from a routine
check-up showed an unusually low white blood
cell count.
“I was completely blown away,” says Anthony. “I
felt like I was in perfect health, but was being told
I had a disease that had only a 50 per cent survival
rate for someone my age.”
Requiring highly specialized care that was not
available in his home town of Niagara Falls,
Anthony was referred to the Hematology Unit
at Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre for
treatment. Though doctors were successful at
bringing the aggressive disease under control using
a series of high-dose chemotherapy treatments to
induce remission, Anthony suffered a relapse less
than a year later, leaving a bone marrow transplant
as his best chance at survival.
As an exact donor match could not be found,
Anthony underwent a haploidentical transplant
using bone marrow from his brother Matthew, who
was a half match. To bolster his weakened immune
system, Anthony later received an infusion of
manipulated immune cells from his brother, the
first time such a procedure had been performed in
Hamilton. The trial procedure isolated select cells
that were best matched to Anthony, reducing the
chance of graft-versus-host disease.
“When something like this happens people want
to help, but aren’t always sure how. When my
brother found out he could be my donor he was
elated, because it was a specific way he could make
a difference.”
Following the successful transplant, which took
place in December 2010, Anthony is doing well
and is hitting milestones in his recovery.
Moved by the passion and dedication of the staff at
the Hospital, particularly the nurses, with whom he
formed a close bond during his hundreds of days
spent as an in-patient, Anthony made a donation
to the Nursing Education Fund.
“I am extremely grateful for the care that I have
received, it was important for me to give back and
help provide hope for others.”

Hummingbird Ball
On May 8, Latin Fiesta, the 9th Annual
Hummingbird Ball, was held at the Hamilton
Convention Centre. Once again, the evening
was a huge success, raising approximately
$100,000 in support of the CIBC Breast
Assessment Centre. More than 400 guests
attended the gala, enjoying the elegant Latin
inspired menu, entertainment and décor.
The event recognized the contributions
of two incredible groups dedicated to
improving the overall quality of care for
patients with cancer. Honoured that night
were the Zonta Club of Hamilton 1 for their
commitment to raising funds in support of
the CIBC Breast Assessment Centre and a
group comprised of several Hamilton Health
Sciences groups including the Oncology Unit
Staff, Palliative Care Team of Physicians and
Advanced Practice Nurses; JCC Supportive
Care Staff and HHS Decision Support Team
of the Juravinski Cancer Centre who were
recipients of Cancer Care Ontario’s Quality

Lasting Impact of a Legacy Gift
People give for different
reasons. For some, it’s
the personal satisfaction
that comes from the act
of giving itself while for
others it is a way to show
appreciation for the care
that they, or a loved-one,
has received.
Marianne had been a loyal
supporter of Hamilton
Health Sciences since
Marianne Litwiniuk, 1923-2009.
the death of her husband
John in 1986, making a series of increasingly large gifts
to the Foundation in recognition of the care she and
her husband had received over the years.
Born in Poland in 1923, Marianne emigrated to
Canada with her husband, a Polish army veteran,
following the second world war. The couple settled
in Hamilton and on modest incomes bought a small
home downtown and built a life together.
Though the couple never had children of their own,
Marianne loved children and included in her more
than 50 donations were numerous gifts to McMaster
Children’s Hospital. The Hospital needed her support,
she said, because oftentimes young families don’t have
the means to give at higher levels.
In 2005 Marianne was diagnosed with breast cancer
and following her treatment made a major gift to the
Juravinski Cancer Centre in gratitude of the care she
received as a patient.
Sadly, Marianne’s cancer returned four years later and,
at the age of 86, was unable to fight off the disease
a second time. As a testament to her dedication to
healthcare across the region Mariane left a legacy
gift in her will that was received by the Foundation
in 2010. Her generous donation was shared, as she
wished, between the Juravinski Cancer Centre,
Hamilton General Hospital and McMaster Children’s
Hospital.
Through her gift, Marianne’s legacy lives on, and it is
making a difference in the lives of patients today and
into the future.

CIBC Breast Assessment Centre
Coinciding with the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in
October, The Juravinski Cancer Centre Foundation launched
its public fundraising campaign for the CIBC Breast Assessment
Centre.
The campaign is built around the message of One Day, One Centre,
One Team, which is the Centre’s promise to women concerned
about the possibility of breast cancer.
This model of care will help reduce the anxiety felt by patients and
their families as they wait for appointments and test results, while
allowing those found to have breast cancer to begin treatment
sooner.
In addition to the campaign’s public components, a women’s
advisory group was formed to help champion the cause in the
region. This group consists of Anne Bermingham, Sunni Genesco,
Dr. Nicole Hodgson, Keltie Law, Ruth Liebersbach, Nancy
McMillan, Yvonne Turner-Moss and Carol Rand.
Adding to the campaign’s momentum, a number of community
groups supported the project by running events in support of
the planned Centre, including several large events such as:
Boobapalooza, Climb for Cancer, February Fever and the Madge
Golf Tournament.
Thanks to the support from many donors and community groups
the campaign is halfway to its target of $5 million. We have another
$2.5 million to raise in preparation for the Centre to be built in 2013.

Cornerstone Awards
An annual tradition honouring leadership, achievement
and commitment to Hamilton Health Sciences was held
on June 24, 2010 as we presented the 2010 Cornerstone
Awards. Held in the atrium of the newly opened David
Braley Cardiac Vascular and Stroke Research Institute,
more than 130 guests attended.
The Cornerstone Awards are presented to exemplary
leaders who have demonstrated a commitment to advance
health care in our community. The three winners in 2010
were:
A group of 17 Nurse Practitioners from the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit at McMaster Children’s Hospital. The
backbone of this unit, these nurses specialize in the care
of sick newborns, including extremely premature babies.
Their program is a beacon of excellence and they pursue
it with an enormous resource of skills, energy perspective
and sensitivity.
Dr. Christopher J. Patterson is a physician with a 28-year
career in Geriatric Medicine. As a practicing physician, a
researcher, academic and healer, Dr. Patterson has been
an unfailing and passionate advocate for elderly patients,
and this advocacy has extended into our local community,
region and beyond.
Senator David Braley has made numerous significant
contributions to our community and region having a positive
impact by inspiring others to take pride in and give back to
our hospitals and community. His extraordinary generosity
supported the construction of a new state-of-the-art
research institute at Hamilton Health Sciences named in
his honour.

Donor Appreciation Event
On October 7th, over 150 people joined the Foundation
at our Annual Donor Appreciation Event. This annual
event was held in the Garwood-Jones Auditorium at St.
Peter’s Hospital. The event is an opportunity for us to
formally thank donors who continue to make a significant
financial contribution and those donors who have increased
their level of support. The event featured a video that
highlighted the impact that Donors have had on our sites,
physicians, patients and their families. Additionally, each
Council nominated an honouree who was acknowledged
during the formal program: “Walk of Life” on behalf of
Hamilton General Hospital; Mischa Weisz and SC Johnson
Canada on behalf of Juravinski Hospital and Cancer
Centre; Scotiabank on behalf of McMaster Children’s
Hospital and District A, B and C Masonic Beef and Corn

Reggie “The Roadrunner”
Reggie “The Roadrunner” – a title bestowed
upon her by her St. Peter’s healthcare team.
At 90 years old, Regina Gallo has seen it
all. But after suffering with end-stage heart
disease, a leg infection and chronic renal
failure, Reggie was diagnosed as needing the
services of St. Peter’s Hospital.
When Reggie first arrived at St. Peter’s, she
was not mobile and was unable to take care
of some basic needs. The St. Peter’s health
care providers have a multidisciplinary team
approach to people experiencing any life
threatening illnesses. Reggie’s care providers
include physicians, nurses, social workers,
occupational therapists, physiotherapists,
dietitians and a chaplain. They are there
for Reggie and her family to ensure their
physical, emotional and spiritual needs are
addressed.
Luckily for Reggie and her family, there
is a place like St. Peter’s, a hospital that
provides a vital role within the region for
its commitment to seniors and complex
continuing care patients.
Reggie’s physician Dr. Hattersley says
Reggie has exceeded all expectations and
she attributes that to Reggie’s determination
and the excellent care provided by her team.
“It is the efforts of the entire team working
together to help our patients bloom to the
best of their abilities,” says Dr. Hattersley.
“We view them, not just as patients, but as a
member of our family.”
Every time I visit, I witness first hand the
genuine caring capacity and consideration
that goes on there,” says Connie, Reggie’s
daughter.
“We were very fortunate to have found the
comfort, compassion and care our mom
needs at St. Peter’s,” says Connie.

December 1, 2010 marked St. Peter’s 22nd Annual
Festival of Lights and this year’s event was sponsored
by Investors Group. Patients, donors and the
community came together to celebrate the holiday
lighting of the trees in the courtyard at St. Peter’s
Hospital. Following the community event, a special
dinner was held for donors and friends. They enjoyed
a festive meal with the goal of raising funds in support
of the Alzheimer Research Fellowship at St. Peter’s
held by Dr. Monica Marchese. Keeping in line with the
holiday theme, 11 beautifully decorated, and donated,
trees were auctioned off.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, eleven beautifully decorated trees were auctioned off during
the evening. Trees were custom decorated and donated in support of St. Peter’s including one
made by St. Peter’s patients.
The evening was spearheaded by Ralph and Vicki
Weekes with sponsorship by Investors Group. Both
individually and through Investors Group, Ralph and
Vicki have been tremendous supporters of Hamilton
Health Sciences Foundation, and their contributions
have been critical in the ongoing support of the
research fellowship.
A Lasting Legacy
Two separate estate gifts
enabled the construction of
a new Palliative Care Family
Room at St. Peter’s created
specifically to enrich the lives of
palliative care patients and their
families while at the hospital.
Gifts from the estates of Sam
and Edith Horrill and Rosalie
Katherine Franks made this
special area possible. Designed
as a homelike space for patients
spending their final weeks
in the palliative setting, the
importance of having a flexible
space for patients and their
families during this difficult
time was important to both
Edith and Rosalie. Both were (Above left) Inside the new Palliative Care Family Room - the kitchen and dining areas. (Above right) A children’s nook is also
available for younger visitors.
patients in the palliative unit,
and they wanted to leave a legacy so that other patients and their families would have a space that could be open 24 hours a day 7
days a week, for visiting, resting, or just a quiet place for private discussions and phone calls.
Among the many comforts provided is a large and fully equipped open kitchen and dining area, a living room area with entertainment
and fireplace, laundry room, children’s play area and two quiet rooms with pullout couches and a private phone.
Carol McKenna, Clinical Manager of Palliative Care and Dave McDade from Engineering both were integral to the success of the
project. With input from her staff, Carol was able to determine the elements for the room that would be most beneficial for patients
and their families. Funds were able to be stretched even further by using internal resources such as Dave’s construction abilities.
Lifelong Care, Transformed.

Saying Goodbye to a Visionary
Architect and Special Friend
Trevor Garwood-Jones, 1928 - 2011, shown with his daughter, Alison at the
opening of the Garwood-Jones Family Auditorium at St. Peter’s Hospital.
In the final stages of this report’s preparation, a long-time supporter
and friend of St. Peter’s passed away – Trevor Garwood-Jones.
While Trevor’s reputation as an exemplary architect had become
widely known and respected, he was known at St. Peter’s for his
compassion for others and sincere desire to enhance the quality of
their physical space.
He left his mark on many buildings in Hamilton but St. Peter’s
Hospital stood out as one of his most personally fulfilling
achievements. When redesigning the Hospital in 1970, elements
such as floor to ceiling windows and wide hallways were included
to accommodate patients in wheelchairs. This innovative thinking
led to a building that could be enjoyed by all patients being cared
for at the Hospital.
More recently, he was the lead architect on the Alexander Pavilion
which is acclaimed throughout the region for its design, and
St. Peter’s named the auditorium the Garwood-Jones Family
Auditorium after receiving a $100,000 donation from Trevor and his
family. A great friend of St. Peter’s Hospital, Trevor will be missed.
