PR: Songs of The Season is Tonight!
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.
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 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

Strides for Stroke Wrap Up Article
Strides for Stroke record-breaking event for foundation

“There were many athletes of all abilities at Strides for Stroke, but the true winners of this event are the patients of the York Region District Stroke Centre,” said Joseph Gulizia, chair of the Strides for Stroke committee and a foundation board member.
More than 700 participants, the largest number in history, attended the May 7 event held at Richmond Green in Richmond Hill. The event included a 1K Scamper for children under 12, 1K Hip Hip Hooray race for York Central Hospital’s orthopaedic patients and 5K run/walk.
Participants enjoyed post-race massages courtesy of Hillsview Massage and Therapy Centre and walked through the health fair, which featured several local businesses and organizations. The event’s proud naming sponsor for the second year in a row was Richview Manor, a 137-bed retirement home located on Eagles Nest Golf Club. The retirement home is scheduled to open November 2011. TD Canada Trust and Freedom 55 Financial also provided outstanding support to the event again by registering corporate teams and raising $27,000 and $12,000 respectively.
“We cannot thank the sponsors, volunteers, donors and participants enough for their outstanding support and commitment to the patients of the York Region District Stroke Centre,” said Mr. Gulizia. “A lot of effort went into planning this event and we couldn’t have asked for a better result.”
Dr. Vince Basile, a neurologist and medical director of the York Region District Stroke Centre at York Central Hospital, said funds raised from the event will have a dramatic impact on patient care.
“We try to go above and beyond the standard quality of care for patients and Strides for Stroke certainly helps us in achieving that goal,” he said.
Funds raised will go towards the purchase of vital equipment and technology including computer software that will help to rapidly identify the extent of damaged brain areas affected by a stroke. Rehabilitation software purchased will help patients regain functions previously lost or damaged from stroke including speech and mobility. The funds will also help to purchase rehabilitation equipment, fund educational opportunities for staff to enhance their knowledge and skills as well as increase access to care.
The centre provides the entire spectrum of stroke care from acute stroke reversal to stroke prevention and community reintegration. Last year, more than 750 patients were seen through the centre either as inpatients or outpatients.
“We have physician specialists in neurology, vascular surgery, intensive care, internal medicine and anti-coagulation, as well as speech language pathologists, occupational and physical therapists and a number of other allied health professionals that help to rehabilitate our patients,” said Dr. Basile. “We provide all of the care that is necessary to treat and prevent stroke symptoms right here at York Central Hospital.”
Dr. Basile noted that although the stroke centre often provides life-saving care and support to stroke patients and their families, there is something that patients can do to help themselves or loved ones further.
“If anyone has symptoms of a stroke, we encourage them to get to a hospital as fast as possible,” he said. “There’s a lot we can do to restore patients back to their normal function if they get to us within 4-1/2 hours from the onset of their symptoms. The faster patients get to us, the less potential there is for permanent brain damage. After this crucial time window the focus of care is rehabilitation and prevention.”
Save The Date! The seventh annual Strides for Stroke 5K Run/Walk has been booked for Saturday, May 5, 2012 at Richmond Green.
