Giving News_spring_2010 - Foundation of Guelph General
A newsletter for supporters of Guelph General Hospital It’s Bedtime... INSIDE While our Medical and Surgical Units may not have the TV-style glamour of the Operating Rooms or the joyful drama of the Birthing Unit, many people in Guelph would be lost without them. People come to these units for many reasons – heart attack, hip replacement, cancer surgery, stroke and more. One thing they all have in common is the need for a bed. Calling All Foodies Rotary Dream Home Little Things Make a Difference $2 Million in Donor Dollars Culture of Philanthropy Janet Trowbridge is our Director of Inpatient Surgery. For the past few years, she has been advocating for new, specialized beds to improve patient comfort and safety, as well as care-giver safety. On March 17, Janet’s efforts paid off with the arrival of 12 specialized beds. Janet explains, “These are the first new beds in nine years. It was time to start replacing the aging beds, some of which were 20 years old.” These beds, the Cadillac of the hospital bed world, have many special features to benefit both patients and nurses. “One very helpful feature is the bed exit alarm systems that notify the nurse when someone tries to get out of bed. In addition, it is so much easier to help the patient get in and out of bed because the frame is lower to the floor, which will help prevent falls.” The beds also have therapeutic surfaces that help prevent bedsores. “For the elderly or the bedridden, every little bit helps,” Janet emphasizes. SPRING 2010 happy This is not the USUAL BEDTIME story, but it does have a HAPPY ending! Saverio Dicino who was recently a patient at GGH was enthusiastic about the new beds, pronouncing them “very comfortable”. Jackie Beaton, RN makes some adjustments to the bed just to make sure. “It’s all about creating a safer environment for the patients who need care and the nurses who provide the care,” says Janet. Over time, budget permitting, the Hospital hopes to replace a number of the aging beds, a few at a time. But these beds are costly – ranging between $9,000-$13,000, depending on the model. Suzanne Bone the Foundation’s Executive Director concurs. “We want to help ensure everyone who needs a specialized bed has one. Thanks to the generosity of many of you who responded to our seasonal mailing, we have been able to help fund these beds making a difference to our patients and our staff.” -2- Tribute Gifts We are always pleased to receive gifts in someone’s honour.

This year, to recognize 13 years of fabulous food, entertainment and fundraising, our theme is A Baker’s Dozen. Artisanale Café & Bistro, under the careful auspices of Yasser Qahawish, will be returning for the fourth time. Yasser will join nearly 50 other chefs, caterers, brewers and vintners to celebrate the best of local creative cuisine, splendid spirits and eclectic entertainment on the beautiful grounds of St. Joseph’s Health Centre. When asked why he supports Taste of Guelph he responds, “I love the opportunity to cook outdoors and to meet people. I am a people person. When I volunteer I never think why I am doing this. I just do it. I explain this to my daughter as she tags along and through my example she gets to understand all about giving, and hopefully develops a sense of community.” Chef Yasser Qahawish prepares one of his culinary delights at last year’s successful Taste of Guelph. For more information about Taste of Guelph please call 519 837-6422 ext 2425.

A session is being planned here at Guelph General Hospital, for anyone to attend. Tuesday, May 25 • 4:00pm Reid Auditorium (Just off the Hospital’s main lobby. Parking will be free.) “Health care is a complex issue,” says Richard. “I believe the more people know about their hospital’s role, the better off they’ll be. I also believe the more informed people are about the challenges and realities facing hospitals today, the more they’ll want to participate in helping us meet the community’s acute healthcare needs.” If you belong to a group or club whose members would like to know more about our Hospital, we would be happy to come and talk to you. If you are interested, please contact Ali Klaver at aklaver@gghorg.ca or 519-837-6422. “We wanted to give something back to our community, and what’s more important than health care?” So say Chris Bedard and Janice Bacon, from CIBC Wood Gundy, who are presenting the first annual Health for Guelph Golf Tournament in support of Guelph General Hospital and St. Joseph’s Health Centre. The event is on Monday June 7 at the Cutten Club. If you would like to golf, sponsor, or learn more, please call Janice at 519-823-4402 or janice.bacon@cibc.ca.

SNL/10 -5- Spotlight on FGGH Sometimes Little Things Do Make a Difference Imagine arriving at the Hospital unexpectedly in the middle of the night or, for that matter, any time. It could be the mother who goes into early labour, or an out-of-town visitor who suddenly becomes ill. There’s been no time to pack an overnight bag with essentials such as shampoo, toothbrush or toothpaste – personal hygiene items not included in the Hospital budget. A few years ago, one of our regular supporters, when told of this situation, agreed to direct her donation toward the purchase of toiletry essentials for those patients who arrive at the Hospital unexpectedly. Little did she know she was helping kick-start a meaningful new program that provides patients in need with those basic 5th Floor Unit Attendant Cheryl Cronk and Ali Klaver, the Foundation’s Executive Assistant, show off some of the items that make a difference. toiletry items we often take for granted – those items that help us feel better about ourselves. We can all relate to the therapeutic effect of clean teeth or a hair wash. Now in full swing this simple but impactful program, co-ordinated by Foundation staffer Ali Klaver, is proving to have untold benefits for those patients who need to use it. Donations Change Lives If you are in our Hospital in the next while, you’ll notice a series of four posters (see example below) that highlight the difference donations make to the care provided at GGH. Last year, $2 million of donor funds were transferred to Guelph General Hospital – dollars that help our team of caregivers change lives at GGH every day. The purpose of the poster campaign is to raise awareness about the difference a donation can make. Yes, I would like to join The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital Monthly Giving Program! I understand that at any time I can change or cancel my monthly contribution by notifying The Foundation at 519-837-6422. At the middle of each month, I would like to give: $10 $15 $20 Other $ Method of payment: I authorize The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital to withdraw from my bank account through my financial institution each month beginning: Month: Year: I have enclosed a VOID cheque I prefer to use my credit card Card #: Signature: Visa Today’s Date: MasterCard Expiry Date: Signature: You will receive a tax receipt at the end of the year. Thank you for joining the Monthly Giving Program! SNL/10 -6- $2 million!! $2 million is a lot of money. That’s how many donor dollars were given to GGH in 2009-2010 to change lives through the purchase of equipment and renovations that would not otherwise be possible. These donations – your donations – make a difference to health care in our community. As a donor, you likely know the government helps fund many aspects of health care. Yet when it comes down to purchasing new and replacement equipment like the items listed below, we rely almost entirely on donated funds. That’s why we must depend on the support of people like you - donors who know and value our Hospital. Here’s what you funded: • Final installment to pay for MRI scanner and renovations ($320,000 this year, $3.1 million total) – more than 25,000 scans complete so far • Vascular surgery equipment - $330,000 • Ultrasound unit to diagnose disease and injury and for obstetrics patients - $170,000 • Pain pumps for surgical patients and labouring mothers - $120,000 • Renovations in the Emergency Department including Emergency Mental Health Unit and ‘See and Treat’ area - $550,000 • Emergency Department equipment - $326,500 • Defibrillator for critically ill patients in the Emergency Department - $30,000 • Special phototherapy light for jaundiced newborn babies - $4,500 • And a host of other items including vital signs monitors, recliners, toiletries, special mattresses, isolation carts, commodes, TVs, dopplers, teaching aids, wheelchairs, and toys and books for hospitalized children - $100,000 Thank You!
