Cancer care clinic planning continues
volume 6 | issue 2 | Summer 2014 Cornerstone A Newsletter for Supporters of Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital Foundation Cancer care clinic planning continues The next major milestone has been achieved as planning continues to move ahead for the establishment of a satellite clinic of the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Centre (SMRCC) at Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) in Barrie, here at Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital (OSMH). The new cancer care satellite clinic will find itself home on the second floor of the Harvie Wing later this year. “We’ve worked closely with the regional cancer program to identify an area in our hospital that would enhance both comfort and safety of patients and families, and the clinical functionality required to meet the best practice guidelines of Cancer Care Ontario,” said Cheryl Harrison, Vice President - Patient Services, Regional Programs & Chief Nursing Executive. Currently vacant space, Harvie 2 was previously an inpatient unit for surgical patients that was recently relocated to the fifth floor of the Community Tower. Once renovations on the floor are GATHERING FEEDBACK: Pictured (from left) Elisabeth Riley, outgoing OSMH President and CEO, John Barnett, Dorothy Holenski, Rita Barnett, and Andrea Farkas, Program Director, CCC, Rehab, Surgery and Cancer Care, tour the new site for the cancer care satellite clinic at OSMH. complete, the new area will provide space for six to eight treatment chairs, private exam and procedure rooms, along with expanded waiting areas. All outpatient cancer care at OSMH including chemotherapy will be provided in the renovated space which is approximately twice the size of the current clinic. “Ensuring the needs of area cancer patients are met, safely and in a timely fashion, is our top priority,” said Lindsey Crawford, Vice President Patient Programs and Regional Vice President, Cancer Care Ontario. “The OSMH satellite clinic will continue to allow us to provide regional cancer care, closer to home for those patients in Orillia and surrounding area.” In 2012, OSMH temporarily transferred adult chemotherapy services to the SMRCC at RVH in Barrie. The move was made to ensure patients had timely access to safe, standardized, high quality cancer care as close to home as possible. Donors wishing to support the equipment and technology needs of the new cancer care clinic are encouraged to contact the OSMH Foundation at 705325-6464. INSIDE A New Era Begins Meet OSMH’s new President & CEO Meet the Board An interview with Hugh Stevenson Cornerstone Message from the Executive Director Editor: Terry Dyni Editor/Designer: Jaclyn Bucik We love to hear from you.

The two-year temporary divestment of adult chemotherapy services at OSMH will end later this year when renovations to the Harvie 2 unit are complete and the area becomes home to a satellite clinic of the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Cancer Program at RVH. With more than twice as much space as the current cancer clinic at OSMH, your donations are critical to making the unit functional for physicians and staff, but more importantly, comfortable for patients and families. I’m also excited to share that progress is being made on much-needed renovations to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at OSMH which will also create additional space, allowing for increased privacy and improved work flow. The hospital is utilizing the same planners for architectural design of these improvement projects and both are on track to begin renovations in the near future. The OSMH Foundation will officially close the books on the 2013/14 fiscal year at our Annual General Meeting on June 25, and your generous support has helped make it another big success. The total money donated to the OSMH Foundation was $2.75 million. The end of the fiscal year also marks the end of a lengthy period of volunteer service for a number of the Board members: Rick Morano, Dave Douse, John Mayo and Bill Swinimer. Each of these individuals has been a huge part of the success of the OSMH Foundation over the years, and we will truly miss their leadership and guidance. My sincerest thanks and best wishes for the future. I would also like to acknowledge outgoing Chair of the OSMH Foundation Board of Directors, Chuck Burton. Thank you for your valued leadership over the past two years. This summer also marks the end of a successful 42 year career for current OSMH President and CEO Elisabeth Riley, who retires on June 27. Elisabeth has been a force for change at OSMH for the past six years, and we are certainly going to miss having her leadership at our table. In saying that, we are also happy to welcome the new President and CEO of OSMH, who you can read more about on page 3. Here at the Foundation we had some great successes last year and its all because of your continued support. Throughout the summer we will be busy working on some new projects to lead us into next year. Enjoy your summer! Sincerely, Nicole McCahon CFRE Executive Director, OSMH Foundation OSMH appoints a new President and CEO Current OSMH President & CEO Elisabeth Riley will be retiring on June 27, 2014 Greg Gee, Chair of the Board of Directors of Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital (OSMH) announced on Wednesday, May 28, the appointment of Pat (Patricia) Campbell to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of OSMH effective July 2, 2014. “Guided by a passionate ‘patient focused’ philosophy, Pat is a senior healthcare leader who brings a wealth of hospital and healthcare leadership experience to the role,” said Gee. “She has been the Chief Executive Officer of several Hospitals and is ideally suited to lead OSMH through our future development, and will help us to meet the challenges imposed by our changing healthcare system in Ontario.” Pat is a former President and CEO of the Ontario Hospital Association, a support and advocacy organization for Ontario’s approximately 150 hospitals. Pictured is Patricia Campbell, new President and CEO for OSMH. She also served as CEO at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, and at Grey Bruce Health Services, a six site community hospital organization headquartered in Owen Sound, Ontario. She is recognized for improving health service delivery through keeping the patient experience front and centre, and using technology as a support to access, safety and outcomes. “I’m excited to be afforded this opportunity,” said Campbell. “OSMH has grown a strong reputation for excellence through its commitment to outstanding care and service, reflected most recently by its exemplary standing from Accreditation Canada. I’m looking forward to learning in detail about the hospital and continuing the forward momentum that has already been established.” Campbell has a Masters in Business Administration from York University and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Western Ontario. Campbell replaces Elisabeth Riley who retires June 27, 2014 following more than six years in the position.

During the rest of his tenure on the Board, Hugh is looking forward to participating and assisting in the planning of the Foundation’s annual special events that promote and raise funds for the continuing needs of the hospital. Hugh is currently Rank Superintendent, Director of the Ontario Provincial Police Academy, OPP General Headquarters. He is also a Sessional Professor at the University of Guelph Humber, Lakehead University, and Georgian College. Hugh and his family call Orillia home.

McHappy day serves up support for OSMh On Wednesday, May 7, all three Orillia McDonald’s restaurants took part in the annual McHappy Day. $1 from every Big Mac, Happy Meal and McCafe beverage sold on May 7, helped raise $7,516 for the Paediatric/Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Renovation at OSMH. Thank you for making McHappy Day a huge success. Endowment funds a priority for Foundation Ensuring that funds are available for years to come is an important piece to a foundation’s success. An endowment fund ensures that dollars are available to hospital’s on an annual basis for capital projects or purchases, such as renovations, equipment and technology needs and ongoing continuing education support - expenses that are not covered by hospital operating budgets. “An endowment fund is great investment for a Foundation as they provide a steady stream of revenue to help the hospital with capital support on an annual basis,” said Lisa Stanley, Director, Development and Finance at the OSMH Foundation. The OSMH Foundation Board of Directors has recognized the need to continue to invest in endowments and build up the principal of the funds each year. One of the current priorities for the Foundation is the establishment of a $2 million education endowment fund. Right now we are half way to our goal of building a fund that would support the ongoing education needs of staff and physicians in order to ensure our patients continue to receive exceptional care. To help reach our goal, over the past two years the Foundation Board contributed over $600,000 from a few estates, including $500,000 from the Dora Noy estate, to support the general Education Endowment Fund. “Continuing education is a priority for our hospital,”explained Mary Catherine Masciangelo, Director, Human Resources at OSMH. “We are committed to lifelong learning for our current staff and physicians, but we also want to continue our role as a campus of learning for the next generation.” To help support the continuing education needs of our staff and physicians, please contact the Foundation at 705-325-6464.

Charitable Registration BN 88932-1998-RR0001 ASK AN EXPERT OSMH achieves Exemplary Accreditation standing Barbara Jones, Director, Performance Excellence, explains the Accreditation process and why it’s important for hospitals to participate in the voluntary exercise. Q A Why are hospitals accredited? Accreditation is a voluntary process that most hospitals in Canada choose to participate in as a means of independently assessing the quality and safety of the services it provides. Typically, a hospital undergoes accreditation every 3 to 4 years which involves a team of surveyors from Accreditation Canada coming into the hospital for about a week to complete their assessment on a wide variety of performance standards. Accreditation Canada is an independent, non-profit organization that surveys more than 5,700 sites and services across the country and internationally. Q What does it mean to be accredited with Exemplary Standing? A OSMH achieved Exemplary Standing in 2013, it marked the first time in our hospital’s long history that we achieved 146 Mississaga Street West, Orillia, ON L3V 3B3 the highest possible standing. We met or exceeded the vast majority of nearly 2,000 standards, including all 31 Required Organizational Practices (ROPs). It’s an indication of OSMH’s commitment to quality care and continual improvement, which has been a big focus here at the hospital for several years. Q A When will OSMH be surveyed again? While our next Accreditation survey isn’t scheduled until 2017, our efforts toward improving quality and safety are continuous. The standards we must meet are always changing and we must adapt to ensure we are providing best care possible to our patients. During our four year Accreditation cycle, we continually assess our performance and implement actions to improve.
