Dear Minister Wiseman,

On behalf of the Trinity Conception Placentia Health Foundation and all residents
of the region serviced by our foundation, we thank you for your financial support
in fiscal 2007. Your support of the foundation has been outstanding and is
certainly reflected in the support we received from all residents of our catchment
area and our hundreds of volunteers.

I
I

As you may be aware, our foundation has just completed another successful
telethon raising $279,289.00 for equipment and health care in our region.
Support came in the form of pennies from our school children,to corporate
donations representative of all walks of life and all areas of our region.
Once again, I thank Minister Kennedy and Minister Hedderson whom on behalf
of government and their districts were special hosts for a one hour segment each
of the telethon. Regrets also came from Minister John son as well', who could not
attend due to illness.
As in previous years, the Provincial Government has rnade significant
contributors to our telethon and therefore helping to provide the necessary and
vital equipment, thus enhancing the quality of life of all residents, their families
and friends in the Trinity, Conception and Placentia Bays. In light of your past
support, I am therefore, once again requesting your assistance in receiving
matching funds toward our[2008 Annual Telethon/ it is our understanding that the
Government again supports this initiative as with the Western He'alth Telethon.
Your contribution along with the Telethon donations will enable oCJr foundation
acquisition of the many equtpment requests so desperately needed an~d
identified
by Eastern Health Rural Avalon Division
.

Hon. Jerome Kennedy

Minister of HeaJth and Community Services


Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
PO Box 8700
St. John's, NL

A I B 4J6
Dear Minister Kennedy,

speakI was pleased to have recently had the


passionately and s'mcere!y on the health care needs of the people of
Newfoundland and Labrador. As President and CEO of the Health Care
Foundation. it is important that I follow the direction that the Department of
Health and Community Services takes in relation to the provision of adult
health care in this province.
lt is amazing that since Premier Williams formed the initial conservative
government in 2003 (which so happens to coincide with my time at the
Health Care foundation), I have witnessed a dramatic shift in philosophy
related to the imporcance of treatment, research and prevemion for the
people of the province. I am delighced with the government's continual
contribution to capital equipment over the last number of years. When I

started, the first capital equipment list provided to me for Eastern Health had
in excess of $90 million in immediate or prio1ity needs. Today. in discussions
with Eastern Health, related to areas of support for which the Foundation will
be engaged in the coming year. l realize that many of those needs have been
met, and indeed, we are reaching a point where we will be surpassing
immediate need. and identifying new, innovative and advanced technologies. \r
is evidenc r:hat this government, under the leadership o{ Mr. Williams, is truly

dedicated to the health and welfare of the people of Newfoundland and


Labrador. Congratulations and thank you'
With this as a premise, I want to reaffirm to you the mandate of the Health
Care Foundat-ion, in raising funds in support of adult acute care for the five
adult hospitals of St. John's. These hospitals provide specialized and tertiary
care for the entire population of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our Give (ram
the Heart capital campaign for cardiac care is at the $8 million mark, of a $1 0
million goal. Over the last three years, we have provided for a variety ~f
equipment in a number of program areas, such as ENT. Orthopedics,
Orthotics and Prosthetics, Surgery, Women's Health, Diagnostics, and
Cardiac Care. This year, we are putting some particular emphasis on a
program that we are trade marking, known as Comfort in Care.

23

(;;om(ort in Care: $150,000

Comfort in Core was che brainchild of a practicing nurse under the employ of
Eastern Health. She had an idea chac if we could provide for some basic
comfort items not normally allocated under a traditional hospital budget, we
could make life easier for patients and their families whi\e in our care. The
Comfort in Care program would allow Eastern Health to be able w enhance
the psychological and physical well-being of patients and their families, while
also providing the care giving staff che additional tools desired, while
addressing the needs of their patients and their families. For example, since
2007. we have had scaff applicacions for Comfort in Care grams from practically
.every clinical discipline unit and program in our five adult hospitals. We have
funded items such as:
sleeper chairs for the emergency department;

DVDs, TVs and TV carts for the coronary care unit;

digital hymnals for the pastoral care program:

funded a pilot project with exercise equipment for the pulmonary rehab
program;

recreational and diversion items for the mental health program:


adjustable work tables for the physiotherapy program;
furnished a family room for the long term care unit in the Dr .. Waiter
Tempeman Health Cencre:
electronic equipment for the volunteer resource program:
pocket talkers for che speech/language pachology program:
voice activated telephones for surgery:
furnishings to develop a garden for the geriatric psychiatry program;
non-invasive blood pressure machines for the orthopedic program:
furnishings for a number of quiet rooms at each of our hospitals;
workshop funding for the pulmonary rehab program:
Wii-Fit systems and TV's, along with others games and accessories for the
adult rehab physiotherapy and the Waterford hospital:
a variety of sleeper chairs and personal care items for patients and
families.

You would appreciate that from a fundraising perspective, Comfort. in Care has
not been a part of our official mandate until recently. We have created a
designated account for this program and are working with prospective donors
in establishing an endowment to fund the various projeccs and requests, We
would like to request support for this project, in the amount of $150,000,
from the Depanment of Health and Community Services. The commenC..1ry
we receive from this program has been overwhelming positive. The impact
on patients and their families has been tremendous. For example, family
members who scay with a loved one overnight, in many cases, now have che
comfort of sleeping in a chair that adjusc to a lounger, which makes their stay
in a difficulc circumscance more bearable. and the result is that they have a
more positive experience with our health care system, I have enclosed a
series of quotes from patients and s-taff of Eastern Health speaking the
accolades of the Comfort in Care program.

24

We would like to it)vite you to formally present this gift at an upcoming


Com(on in Care ceremony, at your discretion. These ceremonies receive
positive media coverage, in that it truly refiects the positive care provided to
patients through Eastern Health.

Eleganza Gala 20 I 0: $50,000


Minister Kennedy, as per our discussion regarding our Health Care
Foundation Gala this year, I would like to formally invite you to attend the
October 23, 20 I 0 Elegonzo event at the Delta St. John's Hotel. I understand
that this night also coincides with the Premiers' Dinner at the Convention
Centre. As discussed, we would be honoured if you would take five minutes
to.join us at the commencement of our evening to bring greetings on behalf of
the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and to then kick-off our
fundraising evening with a $50,000 contribution to our Gastrointestinal (GI)
initiative. This will set the stage for a fantastic evening for our patrons and
supporters, and assist the Health Care Foundation in raising the $300,000
required to purchase an electronic Image Capture System for the Gl Clinical
Program a first for the province.

The combined support requested of $200.000, will allow the Foundation an


opportunity to leverage your generosity with other potential prospects,
supporters and friends. This wlll also allow the Foundation to raise the
revenue necessary to assist Eastern Health in the provision of adult acute care
in Newfoundland and Labrador.
We would like for you to personally present the combined gifts during two
events over the next month or so (Eieganza Gala and Comfon in Care
ceremony). Minisrer Kennedy, again, a very genuine and heartfel( thank you
for your support of our orgilniz::Jtion. I look forward to hearing from you or
your Deputy Minister, Bruce Cooper, and would be happy to answer any
questions you may have.

Dear Minister Kennedy:
Please accept this letter as a follow-up from October 22, 20 I 0.
The Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation has identified an
exciting opportunity for the provinces largest cancer patient population prostate cancer patients. This year, an estimated 510 men will be
diagnosed with prostate cancer in this province.
Through a generous gift of$135,000 from the Fry Family Foundation to
the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation, we have purchased a
High Dose Rate Remote (HDR) Afterloading System needed to help
launch a Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy Treatment Program in
Newfom\dland and Labrador.
With prostate brachytherapy, thin catheters are first placed in the tumor.
The catheters are then connected to the afterloader or permanent
radioactive seeds are inserted into the prostate. Brachytherapy can be used
for a wide range of prostate stages, PSA values, and tumor grades.
The Cancer Care Program of Eastern Health has secured the necessary
Operating Room time in the Health Sciences to insert the catheters
necessary to perform prostate brachytherapy.

There are two remaining critical pieces to be purchased in order to


officially launch the Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy Treatment
Program.
I. VariSeed is a dynamic dose planning system required to plan a
prostate cancer patients' treatment. This program will allow higher
dose delivery to the tumour and will enable the team to treat
challenging cases. Cost: $72,000
2. An OR Bed is required for the HDR treatment space at. the
Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Centre to help with proper patient
positioning. Cost $40,000.
Through our partnership with Motorcycle Ride for Dad, the
Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation has provided over $150,000
in funding fot prostate cancer research at Memorial University's Faculty
of Medicine and participated in their highly successful awareness
campaign.
The launch of the Prostate Cancer Brachytherapy Treatment Program
would be the complement to investments made in research, education and
awareness in Newfoundland and Labrador.
We invite the Department of Health and Community Services to partner
with the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Foundation with a gift to
provide this leading edge technology for the benefit of prostate cancer
patients in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Hello Premier Dunderdale,

Let me start by saying Thank you for your vision and


overwhelming
support of the Health of Newfoundlanders and
Labradorians since assuming
the leadership of our Province. You live what you speak
and I admire
that immensely. My name is Paul Snow and I am humbled
and honoured to be
the President of the Health Care Foundation. You would

be aware that we
are the fundraising arm of the 5 adult hospitals of St.
Johns,

supporting tertiary care for every Newfoundlander and

Labradorian in the
province. We are governed by a Volunteer Board of
Directors, Chaired by

Mr. Frank Fagan, member of the Order of NL and the Order


of Canada and
Supported by various volunteer activity and oversight
committees. We are
currently in the process of ~inishing a $10,000,000.00

capital campaign,

"Give from the Heart" for cardiac care - which was well
supported by Our
Government, Thank you!

Our

Foun~ation,

through wonderful Philanthropic support

of individuals,
businesses and the corporate community has raised
millions in support of
health care over the last decade. We have funded
programs and equipment
in areas such has Cardiac Care, Womenrs health, Mental
Health and
Addictions, Orthopedics, Diagnostic Imagining, Internal
medicine,

Dialysis, Orthotics and Prosthetics, ophthalmology, ENT,


and our
Laboratory program by purchasing state of the Heart
Equipment, as well
as providing Research and Education graQts. And over the
last two years
our trademarked 11 Comfort in Care{tm}" program, has
funded items for the
staff and patient continuum and provision of care such
has tvs, sleeper
chairs, blanket warmers, ice machines, diversion tools
for mental
health and dementia patients and exercise equipment. We
are currently
working on the creation of a lifestyle planner for
patients in our
cardiac program. This will be a preventative medicine
tool to be used
for patients who have Cardiac or cardiovascular issues.
It will include
information about the illness, but will be personalized
and likely
regionalized showing. available government services
throughout the
province for recreation and active living. It will also
provide
information on the importance of your medications usage,
physical
activity,and heart healthy recipes. (We had the NL

Chef's Association
create 26 traditional NL dishes, then we had the
dieticians of Eastern
Health and Sobeys take out the excess sodium, sugars,
fats, etc. , and
gave the recipes back to the Chefs association and asked
them to make it
taste the same! Believe it or not, they did!) These
Healthy Newfoundland
and Labrador Recipes are also a part of this
preventative package; I
will have a set dropped to your office for your own
personal use, I am

certain that you will enjoy them.

~ut I digress, the reason I shared the aforementioned


was that I wanted
you to know what our organization does so that you may
wish to consider
the request I am now making.. The Health Care Foundation
has teamed up
with the Royal Canadian Legion NL to build a Dementia or
"Wanderingn
Garden at the Miller Centre on Forest road for our many
Veterans and
troops who served in honor of our Freedom, our Province
and our Country.
This project is projected to cost approximately $250,000
and our goal is
to raise thesefunds over the next number of months, so
that the Garden
can be built next year. A Volunteer committee is in
place with
leadership being provided by staff of the Miller Centre,
lleterans
Pavilion, and staff from our organization as well as
members of the NL
Royal Canadian Legion. The funds are being raised
through a variety of
means - one such is a signature Ride for our troops and
support for our
vets Motorcycle tour starting at the Veterans Pavilion,
travelling

thro~gh Conception Bay area with stops along the way and
ending at the
base. (Details to follow) We are in negotiations with
General Hiller (a
Campbellton boy like me) and Heather Ireland of 11 Biker
TV" to be a part
of this event. This will bring some high and national
profile to the
ride. We would be honored if you would consider joining
us for the ride
On September 17th, 2011 as well! If you do not ride
yourself, we would
be delighted to escort you on a lead bike as a passenger

ensuring you
are a member of the team lead and ride champions in this

wonderful
event. We would be further honored if perhaps a gift or
a fundraising
match from the Provincial Government could be considered
and announced
that day and then it could be included in our marketing,
11
Supported by
The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador". I have
included two artist
renderings of the Garden as well as a copy of our
sponsorship proposal
for your perusal. I have also left a message for The
Minister of Health,
Jerome, through Tony Wakeham, inviting him to attend.

This will be a tremendous feel good opportunity with


many meet and
greets and we would be delighted to have the Honorable
Premier
Dunderdale along for the ride. I would be thrilled to
chat personally or
through your staff about this opportunity in more
detail. Please feel
free to call me anytime at 777-5905 or 682-2919.

Reaching out to

Introduction
: Hril!"do you thank someone for your freedom?
Every year the Canadian Army Veterans Motorcycle Group has promoted a motorcycle
ride to support Newfoundland and Labrador's troops and the aging veterans at the LA
'.Miller Center's Veterans Pavilion. In this their fifth annualride, they have joined with the
.Health Care Foundation and the Harley Owners Group offllewfoundland to raise funds
to support the building of a wandering garden for residents of the Veterans Pavilion.
About Caribou Memorial Veteriu1sPavilion at the Leonard A. Miller Centre
. The Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion at the LA Miller Centre houses Second World
War'and Korean War Veterans and includes a specialized Dementia Care Unit.
,Canada has a rich milit;~ry legacy, one in which we can b~ proud. Canadian Veterans,
who have worn the uniform, have been prepared to place!'themselves in harms way to
strive to uphold the values Canadians cherish, and they.deserve our honour and
grati,tqde for their service. They also deserve to be taken care. of in their later years. The
Caribou Memorial Veterans Pavilion strives to provide that care and wishes to also
provide joy and contentment to those who have severed thgir country. In that spirit
they are endeavoringto build theJim Shields Memorial Garden to be located outside of
. the Veterans Pavilion at the Miller Centre site.
The goal of the Support the Troops Ride, Reaching out to our Veterans, is to raise
$,20,000 towards the development of this special garden, specially designed for those
veterans with disabilities and who are suffering with dementia.
The Jim Shields Memorial Garden includes:

Locked access to provide a secure location for veterans to stroll


A meditative Memorial Garden complete with a railed oval section for repetitive
circular walking, often soothirigto those with dementia.

A more social central court with seating, bird b~ths andfeeders.


An active open space.highlighted with smooth concrete and an open lawn.
An enabling horticulture Therapy Garden with a wheelchair accessible planter as
well as moveable planters for gardening.

About the Event

Support our Troops Ride, Reaching out to our Veterans will be held on September 17th
starting at 8:00a.m. The route will see riders leave from the Canadian Forces Base in
Pleasantville drive to Holyrood and return to the Veterans Pavilion. lt is anticipated that
bikers will participate in this event.

ioo

The highlight of the event will be the Closing Ceremonies which will take place following
the ride at 2:00p.m. at the Veteran's Pavilion. This will be an opportunity for the
veterans to thank the sponsors and the participating riders.
About the Health Care Foundation
The Health Care Foundation was formed in 2002 with a mandate to raise and steward
funds for the advancement and enhancement of patient care and comfort, capital
projects, equipment, research and teaching at our five adult hospitals in St. John's:
l3eneq:ll Hospital (Health Sciences Centre), St. Clare's Mercy Hospital, Waterford

'
. H<?spital,
Dr. leonard A. Miller Centre and Dr. Waiter Templeman Health Centre. These
hospitals fall under the authority of Eastern Health, which provides health care services
to more than 290,000 residents of Eastern Newfoundland and specialized health care
for a.ll. residents of our province.
The Health Care Foundation fundraising efforts help mitigate the wide gap between the
funding that Eastern Health receives from government versus the actual needs
experienced by our hospitals. In an average year, Eastern Health receives approximately
one-tenth of the funding that they have requested ft)>m government to purchase
priority medical equipment and .technology. The fundirlg Eastern Health receives from
th.e Health Care Foundation is not only appreciated; it is vitally needed.

On March 31, 2012, the NL Sports Centre will be the venue ofthe first annual Bust a Move'" event. This

emotionally uplifting, personally rewarding and distinctly unique event will provide six hours of
choreographed exercise designed for every fitness level from beginners to fitness buffs. Plus, the grand finale
will be led by Hollywood fitness guru, Richard Simmons!
We would like to invite The Government of N'ewfou.ndland and Labrador to consider a mutually beneficial
sponsorship opportunity with Bust a Move'" .;The support of the Province will assist with the purchase of
state-of-the- art medical equipment that will provide physicians within Eastern Health better diagnostic and
reconstructive surgical tools. By becoming. a Silver Sponsor, Bust a Move'" would provide considerable
recognition and business value as outlined in the attached proposaL
The event will deliver an engaged audience and make a positive impact on a devastating disease that affects
families in our communities across our province. We hope you will join the movement. I will touch base with
you next week to discuss this opportunity further. In the mean.time, if you have any questions please contact

Mr. Paul Snow

Dear Mr. Snow:

I am replying to your request for support to the Health Care Foundation with respect
to its Bust a Move event which is scheduled to take place on March 31, 2012 at the NL
Sports Centre in St. John's. I am pleased that the Foundation is continuing with its
fundraising efforts and building upon its past successes.
As you are aware, the Department has been very supportive in the past of the many
fundraising events which the Health Care Foundation has undertaken and has contributed
significantly to many of the past initiatives. While the Department supports the efforts of the
Foundation in promoting its Bust a Move event, the Department has a limited budget from
which it can provide financial support to such initiatives and unfortunately is not able to
provide any fmancial support to this event at this time.

1 would like to thank the Health Care Foundation for their continued commitment and
fundraising efforts on behalf of the residents of the Province and wish you every success in
future endeavours.
Sincerely,

~~~Jc--SUSAN SULLIVAN

Minister

The Trinity Conception P!ocenlia HealthF_oundation will be hOidirig i_ts 2J 5t Annual Auction on Saturday, June 9,

2012. The aucfion has become one of the major fundralsers for the foundation and health care in our region.
The provincial Government suppOrted our auction last year with a generous donation of $50,000. The-funding
for last year went towards the purchase of_ an Integrated Operolihg Room System, the first of its kind in the

province of Newfoundlahd. With the success of last years fLnidraising_ event the foundalion also made a
commitment of a second ln!egrdted O.R. System.
Eastern Health has asked the FoUhdatiOn for support this year in its purchase of a C-Trak Galaxy System. This is a
major piece of equipment used to deteCt radiation in pOtients._lt is used in a procedure caiiBd a Sentirlal Node
BiopsY to determine whether a tumor has metastasized or spread to new location. The biopsy is common for
stag_ing breast cancer and melaitorna i::lnd has become inCreasingly popular in staging other .forms ot cancer.

This Olong with the opening of a third Integrated O.R. System will see the Foundation raise approximately
$400.000 for this much needed equipment. Again, this equipment allows for advance medical technology fOr
the ~esidents of Trinity, Conception and Platentia BOys.
Your generous donation of $50,000 at lost years auctiori waS greatly appreciated and assisted the Foundation

Dear Minister Su!livan:

2012 marks a significant year for the Health Care Foundation. Not only-is this the 101h anniversary of the
Foundation, it is also the 25 1b anniVersary_ of E/egania-, a _si8:nificant fund raising event thaf pre-dates the
amalgamation of the hospital foundations. Since 1987, Eleganza has raised more than $2.5 million to
purchase vital medical equipnient in support of adult health care in Newfoundland and Labrador. I am
sure you would agree that this is. an amazing accomplishment.
To mark this milestone year; _we set our sights high aMare poised to raise $1 million dollars for our
cause, Comfort In Care"". The Health Care Fo\Jndation's Comfort In Care"" program supports the
enhancement of patient comfort and safety. In the -pas-t, this program fOcUS-ed on items si.Jch as blanket
Warmers, sleeper-chairs, specialized stretchers <ind so on; items th.3t are may be small in cost, but
enormous in value._ This year, our Board of Directors has approved to expand the Comfort in Care""
program to include larger projects such as the renovation of patient wait areas, emerge !icy. rooms and
health centres lik~ LeMarchant House, a community-based mental health centre.
The .characteristics 6f the immediate surroundings can have a profound effect on the psyche of the
patient. Studies show the design of-health care fadlitiescan increase patient safety, retnove patient
stress, improve_ medical outcomes and improve overall health care quality.
we respectfully ask for a commitment of $50,000 from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
for this vital work. We.have _extended an invitation to P-remier Kathy Dunderdale to attend Eieganza'on
SatUrday, October 2.0 ~md we would be lionored if you Were available to attend as v.iell.
Minister Sullivan, I offer a sincere and heartfelt thank you for the support your-government has shown
the Health Care Foundation in the past and for our future collaborative efforts. I look 'forward to your
resporise and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.

fall under the authority_ of Eastern Health, which provides health care
services to more than 290,000 residents of Eastern N-ewtoundtand -and

The Health Care FoundatiOn's mandate is to raise arid steward _money to


Support our hospitals through the purchase of mediCal- equipment --and
technolog_y,_ funding for ite_ms that enhance patient comfort- and cafe, and

t~ support health research and. education. V':o{e are led by a dediCated

Board of oirectors who report to the Boatd. of trustees of the Eastern


Health authority.

We establish o.ur fund raising priorities iii consultation

with the management of Eastern Health to ensure that donor mOney is


used efficientiy and effectively to support the arSas of greatest need within
these hospitals.

The Health .care Foundation raises funds through a combination of


~orporate

ind1vid~al

giving efforts through major gifts, "mail appeals,

planned g_iving, employee giving and special events. Our fundraising


efforts help in the purchase of advanced technologies and state of the art
equipment_. The funding Easterri Health receives from the Health Care

The famous Greek fabulist; Aesop, one~ saki, "No act of kindness, no

Every day, oUr. health care

The Health

FoundatiOn's Com(O'rt iiJ Caie initiative- is in _support_

of the enhancement of patient comfort and safety in the a"dult hospitals


in St. John's.

We recognize that quality health care extends beyOnd

medical i.ntervention and that the "little things" can m.ean a great deal to
patients. As a result, Comfort in Care r~ generates funding td provide for
the bask comfort needS of patients -that are currently not funded
through .operational or capital equipment budgets of Eastern Health
such as ice machines, blanket warmers, dia_lysis chairs and comfortable
seating for families visiting their loved onEk

Comfort in Care TM is also expanding its mandate to include larger, special


projects.

In -the coming months, the Health Care Foundation will be

working closely With Eastern Health to fimiiize a -list of ''special _project


Comfort in Care" items. One such example is the LeMarchant Hou-Se

Dear Mr. Wakeham,


During the 2010 2011 fiscal year the Central Northeast Health Foundation has committed to provide a
new Wheelchair Accessible Bus for the long term care residents at the Fogo Island Health
Centre. Based upon our most recent estimate, this vehicle will cost $87,476.
Our charity is fortunate to have $43,313 which it has held in trust for several years, from the former
Fogo Island Ambulance Committee. In 2002 these funds were reserved in hopes that at some point in
the near future a wheelchair accessible bus would be provided for the benefit of the long term care
residents at the Fogo Island Health Centre.
Our Foundation has earmarked an additional $21,663 from our donor funds to support this very
important initiative. We are now requesting a matching grant of $22.500 to complete the funds
necessary to go to tender for this bus.
Thank you for your anticipated consideration of our request. Should you require any further
information, I would be pleased to provide the same and may be contacted at (709) 256-5493 or

Dear Mr. W:akeham,


Thank you very much for your past support of our Foundation's goal to place a new Wheelchair
Accessible Bus in Gander/Lewisporte as well" as in Fogo Island. I am pleased to inform you that
both buses have arrived and are being utilized to enhance the quality of life of long tem1 care
residents.
For the last quarter of fiscal year 2010 - 2011 the Central Northeast Health Foundation has
committed to provide three significant pieces of healthcare equipment for 'use by healthcare
professionals at James Paton Memorial Regional Health Centre:

1. VAC- Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy Unit for wound care. this is a portable unit
which uses negative pressure to aid in the healing process for serious wounds. For some
patients the VAC has provided hope when no other method to enhance healing has been
successful. Our Foundation purchased a VAC in 2005 which is still in use today; however,
it is not as portable as the newer technology. The VAC is now available in a very portable
model, which can be strapped to a patient, so that they can move around, exercise, etc.
Demand for this item is great within Central Health and the Authority often has to rent a
VAC at a significant expense. Cost: $32,000.
2. Lifepal{ 2D Monitor with defibrillator for General Surgery. This area.of James Paton
Memorial does not presently have a dedicated defibrillator within the department. General
Surgery serves many children from oui region and there is a need for such equipment with
pediatric specific capabilities to be readily available. Cost $14,000.

3. Narrow Band Phototherapy Cabinet. This equipment provides phototherapy treatment to


clients. with dermatological conditions including: psoriasis; eczema and vitiligo. Current
equipment is broad band and over 20 years old (also purchased by Foundation). This new
piece of equipment utilizes a specific range ofn1diating light that has been shown to be the
most beneficial therefore it provides better results forthe patients receiving treatment. This
modern phototherapy cabinet is recommended by our Deimatologist. Cost $32,000.
These healthcare items have a total cost of $78,000. We arc requesting
$39,000 from the Department of Health

& Community

a matching grant of

Services to assist our charities in

providing these valuable items for patients in Central Newfoundland.


Thank you for your anticipated consideration of our request. Should you require any further
information, I would be pleased to provide the same and may be contacted at (709) 256-5493 or

Dear Mr. Wakeham,


On behalf of the South and Central Health Foundation (SCHF), I would lil<.e to thank you and
the Department of Health & Community Services for your support of our charity's efforts to
enhance healthcare programs and services in Central Newfoundland.
In the remainder of fiscal year 20 l 0 - 20 !I the SCHF intends to provide the following iter]1s
for the benefit of patients, residents and clients served at the Central Newfoundland Regional
Health Centre:
Pediatric Probe for Echo Services

$14,500

A Pediatric Probe will be used to support the visiting Pediatric Cardiology clinics run at the
CNRHC in conjunction with the Janeway. These clinics run twice a year in Grand FallsWindsor. The clinics provide a tremendous service to the region, by minimizing the amount of
travel the families and children must do over the course of a year. The new Echo machine at
the CNRHC does not have a pediatric probe and software._
BladderScanne':
S21,500
This equipment will benefit surgical and emergency patients at the Central Newfoundland
Regional Health Centre. It is used to help diagnose urinary retention and evaluate many
common urological conditions. It is important for measuring bladder function through the use
of 3D Ultrasound and helps to prevent unnecessary catheterization.

Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Equipment

$50,000

Biopsies, especially breast biopsies, within Diagi1ostic lmaging are currently done with a
standard "needle biopsy gun" which has many limitations. There is a newer "vacuum assisted"
solution in which the suction allows for more accurate and successful completion of the biopsy.
(For example fewer needle insertions for the patient to endure). This newer "vacuum assisted"
will greatly enhance the services provided to women who may discover a lump in their breast.
The total cost of these three remaining ,projects is $86,000. _We are iequesting that the
Department of Health and Community S_ervices provide matching funds of $43,000 in
support of these specific projects. Our Foundation will partner with our donors to raise the
remaining $43,000 to provide this vital healthcare equipment as quicKly as possible in the
current fiscal year.
Thank you for your anticipated consideration of our request. Should you require any further
information, I would be pleased to provide the same and may be contacted at (709) 256-5493
or Raelene. White@centralhealth.nl.ca. I look forward to your response .

Dear Mr. Wakeham,


Thank you very much for your most recent support which provided matching funds for three
significant pieces of technology for patients served at James Paton Memorial Regional Health
Centre. The Vacuum Assisted Closure Therapy Unit and the Lifepak 20 Monitor with
defibrillator for General Surgery have both arrived and the Narrow Band Phototherapy Cabinet
is now on order and should arrive early in 2012.
As you may be aware the Central Northeast Health Foundation has been working towards the
establishment of a patient healing garden at James Paten Memorial Regional Health Centre,
with a ground breaking anticipated in the spring of2012. (The Lakeshore Healing Garden)
Our Board and staff are confident that a patient garden at James Paton Memorial will not only
beautify our grounds and our community in general, it will provide a wonderful, natural space
for patients, visitors and staff to focus on their personal health and well-being, without the
institutional feel of a typical hospital. It will provide a safe haven for people dealing with some
of life's most difficult issues and allow them to reconnect with nature and the beauty of life.
Our rehab therapy specialists are also very excited about the introduction of a therapeutic
garden as they plan to utilize the garden during many of their physiotherapy, occupational
therapy and speech therapy sessions with patients and families. The garden will be wheelchair
accessible and will feature a raised planting bed. It will also provide a welcome refuge for our
medically discharged and alternate level of care patients who are often within our acute care
facility for prolonged periods of time.
Proudly Serving:

We have approached Central Health staff and potential volunteers regarding our planned
patient garden and have met with overwhelming support. Several people have already
volunteered their gardening services and expertise to our Foundation to help keep the garden
maintained after its initial implementation. Our Foundation Board of Directors has also
approved a budget for annual maintenance of the garden to ensure longevity and sustainability.
As you can imagine, this is a significant project with an associated budget of $250,000. Over
the last six months we have hosted a Radiothon to support this project and approached major
donors and private foundations. I am pleased to inform you that to date we have pledges and
donations totaling $130,000.
I am requesting that the Department of Health & Community Services aid in this

important initiative with a matching grant of $50,000. When carrying out a single project of
this magnitude, I am often asked if our provincial government is supporting the project.
Although our staff and Board are very aware of your continued investments in our charity, and
in healthcare in Central Newfoundland, it would be wonderful to inform donors that your
department is once again making a contribution to assist in our fundraising goals for this
specific project.
Thank you for your anticipated consideration of this request. Should you require any further
information, I would be pleased to provide the same and may be contacted at (709) 256-5493
or Raelene.White@centralhealth.nl.ca. !look forward to your response.

Dear~ham,
The South and Central Health Foundation (SCHF), greatly appreciates the ongoing support of
the Department of Health & Community Services. As you may recall, the recent contributions
of your department have played an integral role in the purchase of a Pediatric Probe for Echo
Services, a BladderScanm::r for the OR, Vacuum Assisted Biopsy Equipmeot for Diagnostic
Imaging services, as well as a Wheelchair Accessible Bus which is shared between North
Haven Manor and Lakeside Homes.
[n the coming lllQnths our charity also intends to provide additional medical equipment which

is vital for the health and well-being of the residents of Central Newfoundland. These items

include:
A Sentinel Node Detector (Geiger Connter)

Approximately $45,000

This is a radiation detection device needed to perfoxm Sentinel Node Biopsies. It is a technique
used by general surgeons to detect breast cancer cells in the sentinel lymph node in the a:xilla.
The sentinel node is the first lymph node in which breast cancer spreads. During the procedure

..

the node con be pinpointed by using a hand-held gamma probe (Geiger counter). The sentinel
~e technique offers women with early breast cancer a reasonable alternative to unnecessary

mastectomy.

Six Speciallud Mattresses for Stroke Patients


Cost $34,000
OUr Foundation intends to support the Pro\@.cial Stroke initiative and related activities at the
Central Newfoundland Regional Health Centre with the purchase of six specialized mattresses
for the distinct needs of stroke patients. AI; many stroke patients are essentially bedridden for
up to ten days, it is critical to provide a mattress which helps prevent the development of
wounds, while at the same time providing an adequate swface to conduct necessary rehab
therapy. In the coming months six beds, in two rooms, will be dedicated for stoke patients at
theCNRHC.

Otoscopes/Opthalmoscopes for Exam Rooms


Cost: $9,000
The Emergency Department and AmbulatorY Clinic currently have very old scopes within their
exam rooms, some of which are over 25 years old. Sometimes patients have to wait while ER
staff locates a function.ing scope from another part of the hospital. The Foundation intends to
replace six of these scopes at a total cost of$9,000.
Cost 10,000
Air Pressurized Mattresses for the ER
These specialized air mattresses are made to fit stretchers. With our aging population and the
increased number of paraplegic and quadriplegic patients in our region, combined with longer
periods within the ER, these mattresses help to maximize body weight displaceroent and
minimize pressure areas. This helps to prevtmt skin breakdown and promote patient comfort
wlule in the ER. Six mattresses are needed for a total cost of$! 0,000.
The total cost of these four projects is $98,000. We are requesting that the Department of
Health and Community Services provide matclling funds of $49,000 in support of these
specific projecb. Our Foundation will partner with our donors to raise the remaining $ 49,000
to provide this vital healthca.re equipment as quickly as possible.

'I'IIllllk you for your anticipated consideration of our request. Should you require any further
infonnation, I would be pleased to provide the same and may be contacted at (709) 256-5493

Dear Minister Wise.ri:lan:

MINISTER'S OFFICE

I am\.vriting on behalf of the West~rri Regional Hospital Foundation to reSpectf~llY ask


for your continued support of the Western Region of our Province. To date, with the
GoverrimE:nt's assistance, the Foundation has raised over 7.5 million dollatS ai'id has
made signific::ant impioverhents to.healthcare in the WesterQ. -Region,.
This year, the Foundation is prepared to take. on the; sec.ond Capital Campaign in its
twenty-two years of operation. This Campaigri will satisfy a vast; number of.critical
needs for the Western 'Region of our province. These needs. include a Urology Table,
which is a very specialized piece of equiprne:ntthat is a very high priorityfor our
Region and one that would.- greatly enharice the level of serviee in this area as, well as
the ability to ~ttract urologists~ to the Western Region of oUr province.

The Capital Campaign also include's a wide variety of Ultrasound equipment for
various disciplines including:
o Poitable Ultrasound (Maternal Newborn)
o Ultrasound Uhit (Main O.R)
o Ultrasound Unit {Echo& VaScular Appiicatioiis)
o Ultrasound Unit (Diagnostic Imaging)
o Portable Ultraso"und (Eniergency)
This equipment will positively affect the level of healthcare provided to patients ac.ross
a nUmber of diSclplines and will enable Weste:rn Health to provide better diagnostic
serviCes, riduCed wait times, and more efficient use of machinery than is currently the
case.
The bottom lfue orthis proposed Capital Gampaign is $1,358,100. Although it . is a
large price tag, the Foundation is prepared tO work diligently to rilake this importa,nt
project a reality, and are respectfully requesting the Goverrt.ni.ent to show their Support
of our Project by providing a grant of $600,000. thiS figute represehis 44% of our
total goaJ., just shy of the 50% that has been provided in past years.

The Foundation has received several significant Planned Gifts/BequeSts that have
been: set aside for an important project when the time arrived. We belieVe that this
time has arrived, and the Board of DirectorS have decided to UtiliZe these funds to
supplement our annual fundraising campaign, combined with Government's
contribution to make this very important healthcare need a reality. It will also proVide
the Foundation with the unparalleled opportunity to promote its Planned Giving
initiatives, which will ensure the longevity of the Western Regional Hospital
Found.ation_and its ability to support Western Health and the all-patients in the region
of Western NL.
In the past, the Provincial Government haS been a tremendous supporter Of the
Foundation in the form of a pledge of matching dollars for amounts raised at our
Annual Radiothon. This eVent is planned for October 2 & 3, 2009 at CFCB. Matching
dollars durirt.g the CFCB Radiothon has always been a very effective form of
rcontribution, since it stimulates people to climate at this time to double the impact of
their contributions. It also provides the Foundation \Vith ample opportunity
throughoutthe two days to show our appreciation for the Govemrnent's commitment
to ou:r piovince.
Minister Tom Marshall has jolrt.ed us at the CFCB Radiothon several times and has
always found it a very rewarding experience .. I take this opportunity to invite you and
. the Prenllerto drop by or call into our broadcast during the two-day event.
The decision on the upcomirig year's Case. For Support is cuStomarily made .by the end
of our fiscal year (March 31) and announced in April. Since this decision largely
depends on Government's ability to suppOrt. us ih tl:;le requested capacity, we are
requesting that your response is communicated at your earliest convenience~ Thank
you for your time ~d -attention to this very important request.

Attention: Honorable Paul Oram
Dear Minister Oram:
I am writing with an amendment to a request that was sent to the Honorable Ross
Wiseman on February 18, 2009. The Western Regional Hospital Foundation was
originally planning to take on a capital campaign for this year to fund several specialized
items that were greatly needed for this area. However, thanks to government funding, a
few of these times have been purchased and as a result we have revised our goal. The
2009/2010 Case for Support is Ultrasound and Fundamental Diagnostic Equipment that
will include:
o Ultrasound Unit (Main OR)
o Ultrasound Unit (Medical Imaging)
o Portable Ultrasound (Emergency)
o Video Gastroscopes and Colonoscopes
o Boom Arms and Monitors [OR)
This equipment will positively affect the level of healthcare provided to patients across a
number of disciplines from the unborn baby to the senior citizen. It will enable Western
Health to provide improved diagnostic services, reduced wait times, early diagnosis of
many types of cancer, and more efficient use of machinery than is currently the case.

,,

___

The total cost of this Campaign is $623, l 00. Although it is a large price tag, the
is prepared to work_diligently to make this important project a reality. We are
respectfully requesting the Goveni.ment to show their support of our project-by proviO.iriiC
a matching grant of $300,000. This figure represents 48% of our total goal, just shy of
the 50% that has been provided in past years.

EQU.I!c!i~o1Jop

The Provincial Government has always been a tremendous supporter of the Foundation
in the form of a pledge of matching dollars for amounts raised at our Annual Radiothon.
This event is planned for October 2 & 3, 2009 at CFCB. Matching dollars during the
CFCB Radiothon has always been a very effective form of contribution, since it stimulates
people to donate at this titr1e to double the impact of their contributions. It also provides
the Foundation with ample opportunity throughout the two days to show our
appreciation for the Government's commitment to our province.

The Sir ThOmas Roddick Hospital Foundation is charitable organization that was
established in 1987 in Stephenville, NL- withthe primary purpose of raising funds for the
purcha"se of mediCal- equipment for the SiT Thdmas :Roddick Hospita.l. The Fmmdation,
now more than ever, remains COmmitted to its initial mission of raising funds to procllre
inbdem medical equipment. Historically, the--Board of Directors has accompliShed its
fundraiSing goals through bequests, public campaigns, corporate sponsorship and other
i:hi_tiatives. The rnedical equipment tha:.t the Foundation has purchased has indeed assisted
our facility, medical professionals and patients within our" own district and ultimately h_~
iniproved our Health Care SyStem overall.

Our mission is to:


(a) act -as a fundraising body in support of the charitable-objectives <ind progiamsof
the facility;
(b) increase ptiblie awareriess ofthe activities of the facility including)_ where
applicable, their Regional and Provincial wide application;
(c) encourage increased eridowments and bequests from former patients, their
families, and the community in general to supplement fullding for medical related
equipment;

162

(d) condlict public Campaigns in support of particular or_ general equipment needs of
the facility;
(e) provide ad9-itional fundraising thiit may be outside the objectives outlined, but
may come through a request by the Board of the Western Regional Health
Authority.
The Health Care system is extremely Cosily to operate and additional funding iS
necessary_for the purchase of new equipment if our facility is to continue to maintain and
improve its leV_el of care for all residents of the Porl au Port/Bay St. George district and
beyond. In addition, teChnically advanced equipment provides incentive for the
recruitment and retention of medical professionals to our rural cOmmunities. Waiting
periods for patient~ and the length of the waiting period are dramatically reduced with the
installation of modern equipment while there is an increase in the number of patients who
,are able to partake of these services.
The Sir Thonias Roddick Hospital FoundatiOn is currently campaigning for the following
pieces of medical equipment: a Scalpel for the Operating Room at a cost of $40,000, 2
Cardiac Monitors/Defibrillators with Arrest Cart valued at $34,000, a Colposcope for
Obstetrics/Gynaecology at a cost of$30,000 and Sleep Study eqUipme'nt valued at $4,995
fora grand total of $.108,995 in medical equipment for the Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital.
We shall hold our annual Radiothon broadcast on Friday, OCtober 1st and Saturday,
o-ctober2nd at-the CFSX Radio Station to appeal for donations for this year's medical
equipment campaign. On behalf of the Follndation, I respectfully request a financial
donation froril the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador in support of our
upcoming Radiothon event. With your assistance we will continue to maintain and
improve Health Care serviceS at the Sir ThOmas Roddick Hospital for many yearS to
come.
Please find enclosed a copy of our recent mail appeal that was circulated to' all residents;
organizatioris and businesses requesting assistaiice throughout the Bay St. George region.
I thank-you in _advance 'for your support to our annual appeal.

Dear Minister SulliVan,
The Western Regional Hospital Poundation haS worked for nearly 25 years to
improve health care in our region. Through the work of our volunteers, the
support of the general public, and the generosity of our corporate and service
partners, we have purchased over nine million dollars of priority medical
equipment. The iiripact is enormous including decreases in wait times, wider
diagnostic and th~r?lpeutic services, arid increased recruitment df physicians.
Each year we go through a collabOrative process with the local Board and
Senior Administration to build a Case for Support. This year is no exception.
WesternHealth has_.asked us to raise funds amounting to $495,500.00. This
will be applied-to tl;.Le Pl.l.rchase of 13_ separate.pieces of much needed
equipment.
Through this campaign we will affect multiple areas of health services
including:
: Maternal/ Newborn Care
: Acute Patient MonitOring
! OrthOpedics
: -Medical Imaging
.! Re~al ;Hemodialysis
Our largest fundraiser each year is our Annual Radiothon.- This is. happening
on SeptCmbet 28th, 2012 at our local S'teele Communication station, CFCB. In
past years we haVe enjoyed phenomenal- success, clearly indicating the support
people have for our cause. The Provincial Government has been one of our
most consistent and generous supporters.

Our Foundation sent a letter to you on May' 8, 2012 regarding the Western-Regional
Hospital Foundation's Annual Radiothon. This event is scheduled_to take place on
Friday, September 28th on CFCB, a part of the Steele Communications netwoik.

In past years, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has pledged matching
dollars for this event. This generous contribution_has been much appreciated- and
announcing a-matched-contribution has certainly increased the response to Our appeal
exponentially.
In order to plan for this year'S event we-were hoping for a response at your earliest
convenience. I have enclosed a copy of the original letter to help with your review.
Thank you for the support you have provided in past years an:dyour consideration of
our cause once again this year.
Sincerely,
