FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
December 9, 2011
ROBERT PILON, YCH PHYSICIANS TO SING AT HOSPITAL FUNDRAISER
Richmond Hill, ON – The voice of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables and The Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera, Robert Pilon, will be the lead performer in York Central Hospital Foundation’s Songs of the Season with Robert Pilon and Friends. The inaugural event is being held tonight at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts beginning at 8 p.m.
“I am so pleased to participate in this exciting fundraiser which incorporates two of my passions: philanthropy and music,” said Robert Pilon. “Having partnered with York Central Hospital Foundation for several events, I know how important community support is to improving health care.”
In addition to Robert Pilon’s performance, a choir comprised of York Central Hospital
“We are so grateful to all of the supporters of this event, especially National Bank and Lexus of Richmond Hill. There are many people in our community who will require the use of our hospital’s services over the holidays. The funds raised through this event will help ensure all of the patients at York Central Hospital have access to state-of-the-art medical technology to assist in their speedy recovery both during the holidays and every day of the year,” said Bill Leacy, President & CEO, York Central Hospital Foundation.
All proceeds from this inaugural event will go towards the purchase of a standardized, state-of-the-art infusion pump system for York Central Hospital. This investment in a new pump system will increase patient safety by auto-programming medications, which in turn ensures the accurate dispensing of the right medications at the appropriate time.

This extra one on-one time that the staff will spend with patients will help improve the overall care and patient experience at York Central Hospital.

Press Release - Moonlight & Magic Gala Results
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 16, 2011
ANNUAL GALA MOST SUCCESSFUL IN FOUNDATION’S HISTORY
Richmond Hill, ON – York Central Hospital Foundation’s 24th annual gala has set two records: one for the most guests in attendance and one for the highest revenue. The sold-out Moonlight & Magic themed-event was attended by more than 1,000 guests and raised in excess of $570,000.
“The event was our most successful yet and we’re so pleased with the results,” said Julie Fuda, Chair of the Moonlight & Magic Gala. “None of this would have been possible without the support of the community, donors, sponsors and our gala volunteers. Their gifts of time, talent and donations helped to make this event the best in our 24-year history.”
The event was held at Le Parc Markham and emceed by Ken Shaw, one of Canada’s most recognized news anchors. Violinist Greenville Pinto and singer Christopher Dallo entertained guests during the cocktail hour and over dinner, followed by the George St. Kitts Band. The gala featured a live and silent auction and raffle with a top prize of a diamond necklace and earring set, appraised at $22,750. For the second consecutive year, the event’s Presenting Sponsor was Bell.
“We are sincerely appreciative to each and every person who helped make this gala our most successful in the Foundation’s history,” said Fraser Nelson, Chair of York Central Hospital Foundation. “This year, the Foundation has been challenged to raise $5 million to help fund medical equipment and technology at York Central Hospital. The generosity and support we received from our community for the Moonlight & Magic Gala has helped us come closer to realizing this goal.”
All proceeds from this year’s event will help fund a standardized, state-of-the-art infusion pump system for York Central Hospital. The new pump system will increase patient safety by auto-programming medications, which in turn ensures the accurate dispensing of the right medications. Since the pumps are programmed to dispense the correct dosages, nurses and other staff caregivers will have more time to spend with their patients allowing for increased bedside attention and education. This extra one on-one time will help improve the overall care and patient experience at York Central Hospital.
“On behalf of everyone at York Central Hospital, I would like to extend our appreciation to the community for their generous support. This exciting event has increased awareness in the community and enabled the hospital to purchase urgently needed medical equipment,” said Altaf Stationwala, President and CEO, York Central Hospital.
The first Gala was held in 1988 and, since that time, the annual event has raised over $6 million for capital improvements and life-saving medical equipment in virtually every area of York Central Hospital. This includes a new Digital Mammography Unit for Breast Health, leading-edge surgical equipment, construction to triple the size of our Emergency Department, a state-of-the-art surgical sterilization unit and a Nuclear Medicine Camera with enhanced CT scanning abilities for York Central Hospital.

President's Corner - Gala Wrap Up
On Friday, November 4th, a magical, record-breaking event took place: our 24th annual gala.
The Moonlight & Magic themed-event, held at LeParc Markham, was filled with great music, delicious food, spectacular entertainment and a lot of inspirational support for our hospital, York Central.
Our gala broke not one, but two records this year: one for highest revenues at $571,000 and the other for the most guests in attendance. More than 1,000 guests, sponsors, volunteers and donors attended the sold-out event.
This year’s funds will go towards the purchase of a standardized, state-of-the-art infusion pump system for York Central Hospital. The new pump system increases patient safety by auto-programming medication dispensing. This allows nurses and other staff to provide more beside attention and education to our patients and their families. This, in turn, results in greater interaction and recovery planning, improving the overall patient experience. York Central Hospital is one of only three hospitals in the region that has this standardized pump system, which was a safety compliance rating of 99.6%.
The impact of this pump system are resounding: it frees up precious time for our staff to spend with their patients, it provides life-saving medications and pain relief to seven out of every 10 patients and importantly, one standardized pump system decreases the costs associated with having several systems throughout the hospital. It is through your generosity that this investment is possible and we are incredibly grateful.
As President & CEO of the Foundation, I’ve learned that as much as we try to inspire our donors, in fact, our donors are the ones who inspire us. It is so rewarding to see events like the Moonlight & Magic Gala come to life because of the generosity, support and dedication of volunteers, sponsors, donors and guests like each of you. We are especially thankful to Bell, who has been our generous Presenting Sponsor for the past two years.
An event of this magnitude takes hundreds of hours of planning from dedicated volunteers and donors. We are so fortunate to have such an incredible group of volunteers who have worked over the past year to ensure this gala’s success. Under the leadership of Gala Chair Julie Fuda, our volunteers have worked day and night, along with our Foundation staff, to collect auction items, set up the venue and ensure the finishing touches were in place. We cannot thank you, our volunteers and donors, enough for everything you have done for our Gala, and everything you continue to do moving forward.
York Central Hospital’s vision is to become the “finest community hospital in Canada”, and through your incredible generosity, we are well on our way to realizing this goal – thank you!
We sincerely appreciate your ongoing support of our hospital. Your gifts of time, talent and donations are truly making a difference in the lives of our grateful patients.
Wishing you the best of health,
Bill Leacy
President & CEO
World Diabetes Day - November 14, 2011
November 14 is World Diabetes Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of and funds for this disease. More than 9 million Canadians are affected by diabetes and thousands are right here in our region.
To help patients in our community manage this disease, York Central Hospital established a Diabetes Education Centre in 1992.
The goal of the centre is to provide adult pregnancy induced (gestational) and pre-diabetes patients, with the tools, support and education they need to self-manage their disease. Although the goal for each patient is the same, the way they get there can vary.
“Every patient is treated independently,” said Gillian Burley RN, one of 11 Diabetes Educators working in the centre. “Each patient’s program is tailored to their specific needs.”
The Diabetes Education Centre is staffed with Registered Nurses, Registered Dietitians, a coordinator and a visiting Chiropodist. All of the Educators are experts in diabetes education.
Patients can self-refer or can be referred to the centre by a health care provider. The centre offers comprehensive diabetes care including individual initial assessments with regular follow-ups to assist with monitoring and self management of blood sugars, medication adjustment, diet education, insulin pump therapy and a foot care clinic. More than 700 patients were seen through the centre last month alone.
In order to meet the needs of our diverse diabetes patients, the Diabetes Education Centre staff offers education in a variety of languages including English, French, Cantonese, Mandarin, Italian, Farsi, Urdu, Punjabi and Hindi. Cooking classes are also part of the program and include sessions tailored towards several ethnic groups and taste preferences.
The Diabetes Education Centre is an important part of our hospital services and requires the support of our community.
Your generosity in helping to support this program will help ensure this dedicated team of diabetes experts has the equipment and technology they need to continue serving this specialized patient population.
To find out how you can support this program, please contact the Foundation office at 905-883-2032 or donate securely online at http://yorkcentral.on.ca/donate.htm.

Third Party Event - Joy of Aging Raises $30K for YCH
On Sunday, October 23rd 2011, more than 350 women gathered at Copper Creek Golf Club to raise funds for York Central Hospital, learn about fitness and healthy aging and build new friendships at the Joy of Aging event.
The fundraiser was organized by financial advisors, Tina Tehranchian and Janine Purves and their team at the Richmond Hill Branch of Assante Capital Management Ltd. Ms. Tehranchian is also Board Member at York Central Hospital Foundation.
Tracy Moore, the host of CityLine on Citytv, hosted the third annual event. The morning started with the beautiful sounds of Dave McLaughlin's saxophone, followed by a speech by Vivian Risi, owner of Royal LePage Your Community Realty, Director of York Central Hospital Foundation and the Platinum Presenting Sponsor of the event. Ms. Risi spoke to the guests about her history of philanthropy and her special relationship with York Central Hospital.
Next, financial advisors, Tina Tehranchian and Janine Purves, also the Platinum Presenting Sponsors, delivered a fun and entertaining presentation about women and money followed by a money quiz.
Mysterion, the mind reader, dazzled and intrigued the audience with his ability to read minds. The keynote speaker, Susan Sommers, inspired the audience with her life story, recounting how she ran her first marathon at age 61 and her second at age 63, and offered useful tips for women on fitness and staying in shape. With the engaging and informative keynote speaker, fun activities, an energizing fitness break sponsored by Vive Pilates and interesting sponsor booths to visit, the morning proved to be enjoyable and entertaining for the attendees.
“We are thrilled with the end result of this event and are pleased to be able to support a worthy organization like York Central Hospital,” said Tina and Janine. “Our guests, sponsors and volunteers of the Joy of Aging are helping to make a difference for the patients at our community hospital.”

President's Corner - Beginning of a New Season
It’s hard to believe the last long weekend of the summer is beginning in a few short days. The past eight weeks seem to have flown by for us here at the Foundation!
As a new season starts, I am pleased to announce that our annual Report to Donors is hot off the press and will be mailed in the coming days. In it, you will find stories about the numerous projects that you have so generously helped to fund that are improving patient care as well as a list of the donors who have inspired us.
We are also extremely pleased to report we exceeded our revenue goal for the 2010/2011 fiscal year thanks to your incredibly commitment and dedication. As a result, we were able to fulfill our commitment to fund leading-edge technology and equipment throughout York Central Hospital.
Moving forward, we have several exciting challenges this year including funding standardized infusion pumps hospital-wide. These auto-programmed pumps deliver fluids, blood products and medications to patients in nearly every department of the hospital. Since they are programmed to dispense dosages at the appropriate times, nurses and other care givers can spend more time with patients and their family members, improving the overall quality of care.
Fundraising has already begun for this exciting project: the 2008 York Central Hospital Foundation Gala, Stardust Ball, raised more than $530,000 towards the purchase of the pumps.
Additionally, the Casino and Hold’em Poker Tournament, held on May 12, 2011, raised $133,000 towards the purchase of infusion pumps in the Nick & Rosanne Cortellucci Family Emergency Department. This annual event, hosted by Foundation Board Member Joseph Sgro, has raised nearly $300,000 for York Central Hospital’s priority projects over three years.
Lott & Company, Chartered Accountants also purchased an infusion pump in December 2010.
While many pumps have been generously funded, the need is still great. Our goal is to purchase 401 Symbiq infusion pumps and raise $1.2 million this year towards their purchase.
In addition to the pumps, we’re raising funds for life-saving medical equipment and technology including urogynaecology equipment in our newly opened Paul B. Helliwell Foundation Minimally Invasive Surgery Suite, an ultrasound machine, automated dispensing cabinets for medication, patient ceiling lifts for the recently renovated Intensive Care Unit and adult ventilators to name a few. All of these investments will have a dramatic impact on the care that is provided at York Central Hospital.
We look forward to continuing to partner with you and your family as we work towards helping York Central Hospital realize its vision of becoming the ‘finest community hospital in Canada’.
Wishing you the best of health,
Bill Leacy
President & CEO

Mock Surgery
Last night, a Mock Surgery event was held in the Paul B. Helliwell Foundation Minimally Invasive Surgery Suite.
Dr. Rohan Shahani, a Minimally Invasive and General Urologic Surgeon at York Central Hospital along with Pam Richards, Manager, Surgery Program at York Central Hospital, provided guests with an informative and interactive evening. Sally Rogers, Operations Director, Surgery and Woman & Children Program also attended the event and provided assistance.
Guests were invited to try the surgical equipment, which is a sample of the equipment used to suture patients in the operating room. Dr. Shahani made the demonstration seem easy but everyone was surprised to learn it was much harder than it looked when they each took a turn!
Equipment for the demonstration was generously provided by Jim Dean of Johnson & Johnson.
All of the guests asked great questions and enjoyed refreshments after the demonstration.
A very special thank you to Dr. Rohan Shahani and Pam Richards for their interactive demonstration and for providing our guests with informative answers to their questions. We sincerely appreciate your gifts of time and talent and look forward to the next Mock Surgery event!
