<strong>The</strong> <strong>World</strong> <strong>Is</strong> a <strong>Better</strong> <strong>Place</strong> <strong>Because</strong> of <strong>The</strong>m<br />

Throughout the Tree of Lights Campaign,<br />

we were proud to feature a few of the many<br />

donors, volunteers and friends who<br />

continuously support our Foundation.<br />

Year after year, we are overwhelmed by the<br />

level of creativity and commitment from<br />

members of our community. <strong>The</strong> list of<br />

support is endless and includes all kinds<br />

of exciting ways to raise funds for our<br />

local hospital.<br />

Please take a moment to meet a few<br />

“Friends of our Foundation”.<br />

Terry Colburn & Wayne Welsh<br />

For 20 years, <strong>The</strong> <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> Professional Fire Fighters’ Association has<br />

organized Magic n’ Miracles Christmas Magic Show - a tradition which has raised<br />

$450,000 for the Paediatric Department. A little magic goes a long way...<br />

John Boychuk<br />

As champion of children’s causes and former President of <strong>The</strong> SCGH Foundation<br />

Board of Directors, John has demonstrated unparalled commitment to a number of<br />

hospital initiatives including ER ReDevelopment, Maternal Child Centre &<br />

Breakthrough Health.<br />

Sam, Murray & Auby Walters<br />

In an effort to raise funds to purchase Niagara’s First Breast Coil in memory of Sarah<br />

Walters, Sam, Murray and Auby have mailed over 350 letters to special friends.<br />

<strong>The</strong>ir efforts will touch women for generations to come.<br />

Linda & Paul Hamm<br />

Whether its providing clerical support, selling HELPP lottery tickets or volunteering<br />

with Tree of Lights, Catfish Derby, Run for the General or On the Move, the Hamm’s<br />

are there. Linda and Paul are true givers in every sense of the word.<br />

John G. Bullivant<br />

Known as the Father of <strong>The</strong> Foundation, John was elected the first President of our<br />

Foundation over 21 years ago. Since then it has been John’s mission to make his<br />

community a better place.<br />

SCGHF Secures Funds for Fluoroscopy Unit<br />

Over $850,000 raised in support of Diagnostic Imaging<br />

<strong>The</strong> Digital Fluoroscopy Unit is essential in diagnosing cancer in<br />

gastrointestinal tumors and other abnormalities of internal organs<br />

such the esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines as well as<br />

assessment of the kidneys and bladder. This vital piece of equipment is<br />

used to obtain quick, accurate images and immediate diagnosis of<br />

strokes, cancers, croons, colitis and the evaluation of veins joints and<br />

clots.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Fluoroscopy is a painless, non-invasive X-ray exam that allows<br />

radiologists to use "real-time" imaging techniques. Unlike traditional X-<br />

rays, which produce still pictures, the Fluoroscopy can capture full<br />

motion. This technique is often used to examine the entire<br />

gastrointestinal tract, specifically to diagnose tumors and other<br />

abnormalities. Contrast media, such as barium, iodine, and air are used<br />

to visualize internal organs as they work.<br />

One of the most important benefits of this procedure is that it allows the<br />

doctor to view the body's inner systems while they are actually<br />

functioning. A doctor can watch a patient's stomach as it digests food or<br />

the esophagus can be visualized while a patient is swallowing. This<br />

procedure allows the doctor to obtain valuable diagnostic information<br />

that may not be available without the use of this sophisticated<br />

equipment.<br />

Today, radiation exposure is an<br />

important safety consideration.<br />

<strong>The</strong> way this machine was<br />

designed enables the<br />

equipment to produce high<br />

quality images with very little<br />

radiation. <strong>The</strong>se extremely low<br />

radiation levels are much safer<br />

for our physicians and patients<br />

then traditional X-rays.<br />

FLUOROSCOPY BENEFITS<br />

* Help our Diagnostic Imaging team provide<br />

patients with a more accurate less intrusive x-ray<br />

* Provide expansive diagnosis and intervention<br />

services for gastrointestinal, cular, orthopaedic,<br />

urologic, respirology, skeletal and thoracic<br />

procedures.<br />

* Help us recruit and retain additional Diagnostic<br />

specialists and allied health professionals.<br />

Thank you to all our donors for<br />

supporting this urgent initiative!<br />

Tree of Lights Exceeds Goal<br />

Our largest crowd ever joined us to celebrate our 16th Annual "Tree of<br />

Lights" in Thorold and the 22nd Annual in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> in<br />

November. <strong>The</strong> beautiful trees were dedicated to the memory Bob Allan,<br />

Bluma & Bram Appel, Alfie LaVigna and Mel Swart.<br />

Guests enjoyed hot chocolate, coffee, delicious food and cookies, while<br />

Olympic Bronze Medalist, Claire Carver-Dias and representatives from the<br />

Niagara Ice Dogs signed autographs for their fans. Young children and<br />

guests were kept busy at the craft tables, posing for photographs with<br />

Father Christmas and listening to the amazing entertainment.<br />

We are thrilled to announce that we have exceeded our goal for the 2007<br />

"Tree of Lights" campaign and Christmas Appeal by raising a grand total<br />

of $150,000. Funds will be directed toward the purchase the Paediatric<br />

Pigg-O-<strong>St</strong>at Immobilizer for the Diagnostic Imaging Unit and the ECG<br />

Management System for the Cardiac Investigative Unit at the <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Catharines</strong> General Hospital. Thank you to the hundreds of people who<br />

supported this campaign!<br />

air as they kicked off their North American tour in Niagara.<br />

It is with great sadness that we announce the tragic<br />

death of physician Dr. Ken Park, age 41, on<br />

November 20. A Family Practitioner and resident of<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong>, Dr. Park joined the Medical <strong>St</strong>aff at <strong>St</strong>.<br />

<strong>Catharines</strong> General Site in 1992 in the Departments<br />

of Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine.<br />

“Dr. Park was an exceptional physician with a unique<br />

ability to care for critically-ill people, and his passing<br />

is a great loss to the Emergency Department and the<br />

patients he cared for with great skill and<br />

compassion,” said Dr. John McAuley, NHS Chief,<br />

Department of Emergency Medicine.<br />

In Memory of Dr. Ken Park<br />

“He was a compassionate and highly-skilled physician,<br />

who was very well liked and highly regarded. <strong>St</strong>aff in<br />

the ED are taking his loss very hard.”<br />

Thank you to Dr. Perossa for organizing a Memorial<br />

Service in January for friends, family, colleagues and<br />

patients to reflect and celebrate Dr. Park’s life.<br />

To date, over $9,200 has been donated toward the<br />

Emergency Department in memory of Dr. Park.<br />

On behalf of the SCGH Foundation Board of<br />

Directors, we would like express our condolences to<br />

family, friends and colleagues.<br />

It's been truly heartwarming to see the nominations<br />

the random acts of kindness found at the General.<br />
