Recently, you may have heard one of us speak excitedly about our new hospital, proudly describing how we have moved from the planning phase to the beginning of construction. Its for real now and from this point forward, our accountability is to keep you informed as part of our team. A team that will build the best hospital and provide exceptional health care services for our community. A team comprising the Cambridge Memorial Hospital (CMH) Foundation and the CMH Volunteer Association, and CMH, your hospital. We did a lot this past year. Virtual reality was used to walk through and see the new building as it is intended. This is the first Canadian example of applying this technology to a hospitals design. We also reached out to the community to ensure the design reflects our rich heritage. Replica patient rooms were built to scale for clinicians to move around in and provide crucial design feedback. We did all of this to ensure the new hospitals healing environment will be the best for our patients. It is important for us to get this right for you and our community. Our fundraising journey has started in earnest. Our year began with our own CMH Volunteer Association contributing a remarkable $1.25 Million gift to our Foundation. Two of our leadership donors, the Lyle S. Hallman Foundation and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, were celebrated and thanked with rooms named in their honour. As excited as we are to speak about a modern, new hospital, the real story is with our people. They are the source of our strength, tackling amazing new initiatives and showing exceptional dedication to providing high quality care. Programs were expanded and we welcomed more medical staff. Our hospital ended the year in a strong financial position. We believe our future is bright and hope you enjoy these stories in our very first combined report to our community. Thank you for your continued support.

Sm all Patho log y Tea m = Big Re su lts
We are always looking for ways to improve our services, including shorter wait times for cancer diagnoses. Quick timing is critical, and can mean the difference between life and death. CCO set a standard for all Ontario hospital pathology labs to provide 80% of their colorectal cancer diagnoses within 10 days. In 2010, over 8,300 Ontarians were diagnosed with colorectal cancer. In 2012, 3,400 people died from the disease. CMH not only met that goal, but surpassed it. CMHs pathology team was named one of the best in the province, and is only one of six Ontario hospitals to help diagnose colorectal cancer in less than 10 days for 100% of patients.

FOR CANCER CARE IN CAMBRIDGE

Examining over 10,000 specimens every year, many of which are for cancer, Dr. Pamela Cyr, Chief of Pathology, and her team recognize the sooner they get a diagnosis to surgeons and oncologists, the earlier the patient can receive treatment. Receiving a timely and accurate diagnosis means that the oncology team has all of the information they need to plan the best possible treatment for the patient. When Dr. Cyr was asked what she thought contributed to their success, she responded: I am grateful to work in a small, tight knit group. Our patients are important to us and we do what we can to coordinate ourselves to provide the best possible care. With only four other pathologists, her team is three times smaller than most other hospitals proving innovation and collaboration go a long way to supporting exceptional care for patients.

Toy ota Na me s Cafet eri a

In recent years, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) has donated over $650,000 to capital equipment at Cambridge Memorial Hospital.
Our hospital cafeteria is an inclusive gathering place for staff, patients, and visitors of the hospital. It is a place to rest, to re-energize, to be nutritionally re-fueled, and to share with others. In recognition of their most recent donation, the hospital cafeteria was named in honour of TMMC. In February, Toyota representatives visited CMH to deliver cake and coffee to all of our hard-working hospital staff, and enjoy a nice break together in our cafeteria. Toyota strongly believes that we have a responsibility to give back to our communities. As a manufacturer, we understand how important it is for a hospital to replace and enhance aging equipment. Our donation to the Hospital Foundation provides our employees and local citizens with peace of mind knowing that our hospital will be able to provide quality care should they require it, said TMMC Chairman Ray Tanguay.

Toyota strongly believes that we have a responsibility to give back to our communities.

Dr. Ha rve y Dr. La wrie

Dr. Michael Lawrie steps down as chief, but continues his care at CMH. After 50 years, Dr. Milne Harvey continues his commitment to the hospital and community.
Dr. Milne Harvey was born to work. On January 1st, 1963, little did Cambridges only Obstetrician know he was at the start of a 50-year career. As Chief of Obstetrics during most of his tenure at CMH, he witnessed many changes. He was the first to do minimally invasive surgery using laparoscopic techniques and saw hospital stays go down from over a week to just a day in most cases. It wasnt only about medicine for Dr. Harvey, It is important to not just have a commitment to your hospital, but to your community too. He sat on the School Board and was involved with the original District Health Council. He is still active with the CMH Foundation. The word retirement seems to have a different meaning for Dr. Harvey. He is on the third step of a four-step retirement plan. After accumulating more than 25,000 patient charts, he stepped back from Obstetrics in 2000 to focus solely on surgery. He retired from that in 2009, but wanted to continue keeping in touch with patients and staying current within his field. To this day, he is part of CMHs medical staff, assisting in surgeries. What is the fourth step? I have yet to figure that out, says Harvey, with a quiet smile. By Kayleigh Klajnscek,

In February 2013, Dr. Michael Lawrie announced he would not be seeking another term as Chief of Staff when his contract comes to an end in June. During his four years as Chief, he accomplished a lot: recruited 56 physicians, championed for a strong family physician base in Cambridge and saw the expansion of CMH services like Mental Health and the MRI. A man of many faces, you may have seen him walking through the hallways in a white lab coat, some days a suit, and once a year in a kilt on Robby Burns day. Once in training to play for the Chicago Blackhawks, he opted to change paths and try his hand in medicine. Following his passion for people, he has proven to be a fantastic leader and an exceptional physician, which he will continue to pursue. Thank you, Dr. Lawrie. Things you may not know about Dr. Lawrie: First job: Gas attendant Favorite movie: Trains, Planes and Automobiles Favorite hobby: Skiing and Golf Biggest fear: Having no one show up at his own surprise party Describe yourself in three words: Fair, Reliable, Persistent

HE LP Prog ra m
It is known that patients who are elderly are more prone to mental and physical decline when they are in the hospital. When this happens, it can result in longer hospital stays with more complications. To lessen these effects, CMH launched the regions first Hospital Elder Life Program (HELP) in 2012. HELP volunteers are the backbone of the program, making a real difference in the lives of elderly patients. While in hospital, geriatric patients receive specially designed interventions, performed by volunteers who have gone through extensive training. In collaboration with CMH staff, they keep patients engaged through communication, socialization, mental stimulation, exercise, and companionship in efforts to preserve their cognitive, physical, and emotional well-being. Since it began, over 135 patients were enrolled in the program and our volunteers performed over 5,200 interventions. Last year, CMHs HELP was supported by 30 volunteers providing more than 2,200 volunteer hours. It is the largest HELP program in the Waterloo Wellington region.

HELP volunteers are the backbone of the program, making a real difference in the lives of elderly patients.

Bu ilding Diverse Pa rtn ers hip s
Cambridge Memorial Hospital is part of a diverse community made up of groups with many different backgrounds. As an organization committed to learning more about our community and engaging it into our activities and fundraising, we invited cultural and religious leaders to have dinner with us.
In April 2012, several community-based organizations and CMH met over an inspired menu, representing our diversity at the Galt Country Club. President and CEO, Patrick Gaskin, provided leaders with a hospital update, shared our vision for the future, and answered questions. Feedback from this initial meeting suggested it was a good use of time and an excellent way for everyone to learn about our community's cultural heritage. It was also a lot of fun! A second meeting was held in October at the Armenian Community Centre, which provided the Armenian Community a perfect opportunity to present their fundraising proceeds from their annual golf tournament. We plan to continue this partnership in 2013, with an event hosted by our friends from the Islamic Centre of Cambridge. We are growing this unique model of engagement, with TD Bank Financial Group joining us as a sponsor of our Diverse Partnerships initiative. We believe our hospital needs to reflect our community and this is an excellent opportunity to live our values of caring, collaboration and respect. It is an invitation for our neighbours to participate in our vision: To provide exceptional healthcare by exceptional people.

Tre es of Ca rin g
Each year, thousands of community donors honour a loved one by lighting a bulb on our Trees of Caring. This tradition spans several decades and continues to be one of our substantial fundraisers each year. Many local businesses are also involved through our Coronation Banner program, or through Angels of Caring. This past year, our Trees of Caring donations were designated to help expand our Emergency Department.

Throughout the year we hosted several other special event fundraisers, including Best Bites A Taste of Las Vegas, the Spring Classic and Presidents Invitational Golf events, as well as the Physicians Community Gala in March. Look for many of these events in 2013, including Best Bites A Taste of the Derby on September 8.

On June 11, 2012, CMH opened up its interim Schedule 1 Mental Health program. It marked a significant expansion of acute care services for our community, growing from 10 to 20 beds. Before it opened, patients needing hospitalization without consent, were transferred as far away as St. Thomas, ON almost a 1 hour drive from Cambridge. Now our patients can be seen and treated close to home, with access to their loved ones and with better coordination of services with our community agencies. CMHs Mental Health program also added a Day Hospital to provide patients with flexible treatment options. Admission to the Day Hospital makes it possible to avoid hospitalization for some, while for inpatients, they may experience speedier discharges. The Day Hospital provides assessment, support, treatment and discharge planning that enhances a patients stability, while facilitating suitable follow-up care.

Lette r fro m th e Fou nd ation

Dear Friend of CMH,
All hospital services provide care in your time of need, yet the one that defines an acute care centre is surgery. Except for a few clinics, full service operating rooms are seldom found in spaces outside of a hospital. CMH has a highly skilled surgical team that is unique to Cambridge and North Dumfries. When surgery is the best option for treatment, saving a life or relieving pain, our teams spring to action. In 2012-13, they performed 12 000 surgeries thats 33 times, each and every day! Last year, you supported our purchase of the MRI and generously donated to our Emergency Department to assist us with our increased patient volumes. This year, we are focusing on the next piece of our hospital transformation: Surgery. With your ongoing support, we plan to build more operating rooms that are larger and can hold the latest surgical equipment. We are also completely renovating the outpatient Surgical Day Care Unit and will increase number of beds. It is just a matter of time before the new hospital is built. It is up to our community to furnish and purchase the surgical equipment to help our exceptional people provide exceptional care. Please consider a gift to help build and equip our new Surgical Suite.

Our Volunteers continue to have a huge impact on Patient Care
Announced at the Trees of Caring celebration last November, the Cambridge Memorial Hospital Volunteer Association pledged an incredible $1,250,000 for our Transformation CMH Capital Campaign, supporting our new expansion. This is a generous donation from our CMH Volunteer Association. It reflects how deeply our organizations are connected and the confidence of the Association has in our hospitals direction. These funds will allow us to transform our hospital and enhance patient care, says Patrick Gaskin, President and CEO, Cambridge Memorial Hospital. When asked how the VA came to this remarkable decision this year, Chuck Snider, President of the CMH Volunteer Association responded; We felt that it was so important to show our support of the CMH Foundations fundraising campaign, because this truly is our hospital. We volunteer here, and for many of us, our volunteer journey began with a personal or family experience with the Cambridge Memorial Hospital. The CMH Volunteer Association comprises 400 members who provide volunteer services to the hospital and fundraise to purchase equipment through their Tim Hortons location, the Red Poppy Gift Shop, the Recovery Room and with HELPP ticket sales. Success at these retail opportunities over many years, as well as some personal gifts from members, allowed for their leadership donation to the campaign.
