LIONS’ CLUBS SET SIGHTS ON EYE CARE EQUIPMENT<br />
When Li<strong>on</strong> Glenn C<strong>on</strong>nell (President, Li<strong>on</strong>s’ Eye Care Niagara) and Li<strong>on</strong><br />
Allen Snider (First Vice District Governor, <strong>St</strong>. Davids & District Li<strong>on</strong>s)<br />
became aware of the great need for a specialized microscope that performs<br />
cataract surgeries, they jumped into acti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Local Li<strong>on</strong>s Clubs worked tirelessly and raised over $80,000! This hard work and<br />
dedicati<strong>on</strong> was recognized by the Li<strong>on</strong>s Club Internati<strong>on</strong>al Foundati<strong>on</strong> (LCIF) who<br />
believed in the cause and awarded a grant bringing the fundraising total to $148,000.<br />
Thanks to the generosity of LCIF, Li<strong>on</strong>s’ Eye Care Niagara and the <strong>St</strong>. Davids & District Li<strong>on</strong>s Club, the<br />
Ophthalmic Operating Microscope has arrived and is currently being used at the Ontario <strong>St</strong>reet site of the<br />
Niagara Health System.<br />
This new microscope means exciting changes for Ophthalmology Services! It enables our <strong>eye</strong> surge<strong>on</strong>s to<br />
perform high quality cataract surgery comfortably, safely and precisely with brilliant resoluti<strong>on</strong> and increased<br />
depth of field. The clearer image means a decrease in surgical time allowing for a greater number of cataract<br />
surgeries. Additi<strong>on</strong>ally, this new microscope will be less likely to malfuncti<strong>on</strong> and will therefore decrease<br />
surgical delays or cancellati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Li<strong>on</strong>s around the world are united by a great spirit of giving and dedicati<strong>on</strong> to helping others. Li<strong>on</strong><br />
and Li<strong>on</strong>ess Clubs from across Niagara have been generous supporters to our Hospital for many years. The<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> General Hospital Foundati<strong>on</strong> is truly thankful for their c<strong>on</strong>tinued support in ensuring we equip<br />
our hospital with the most technologically advanced <strong>equipment</strong> possible.<br />
Li<strong>on</strong> Glenn C<strong>on</strong>nell proudly held out a plaque that would so<strong>on</strong> be affixed to<br />
the microscope which read “Generously D<strong>on</strong>ated By: Li<strong>on</strong>s Club Internati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
Foundati<strong>on</strong>; Li<strong>on</strong>s Eye Care Niagara; <strong>St</strong>. Davids & District Li<strong>on</strong>s Club”.<br />
Li<strong>on</strong> Glenn C<strong>on</strong>nell and Li<strong>on</strong> Allen Snider (absent from photo) spearheaded<br />
this important and ambitious fundraising endeavor. Pictured left to right:<br />

Governor, A-2); Ellen Brochu (Charge Nurse, OR); Li<strong>on</strong> Glenn C<strong>on</strong>nell<br />
(President, Li<strong>on</strong>s’ Eye Care Niagara); and Dr. George Beiko (Li<strong>on</strong>s Member).<br />
Currently there are two sites in the Niagara Health System (NHS) that perform cataract surgeries; the Ontario <strong>St</strong>reet Site in<br />
<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> and the Welland Hospital. Last year the NHS performed 5,501 cataract surgeries. Cataract surgery is the removal of the lens of the <strong>eye</strong><br />
that has developed an opacificati<strong>on</strong> (referred to as a cataract). Metabolic changes of the lens fibers over time lead to the development of the cataract<br />
and loss of transparency, causing impairment or loss of visi<strong>on</strong>. During cataract surgery, a patient’s aging and cloudy natural lens is removed and<br />
replaced with a synthetic lens to restore the transparency of the lens.<br />
Dr. George Beiko dem<strong>on</strong>strated how the microscope provides clear<br />
images to health <strong>care</strong> providers.<br />
The SCGH Foundati<strong>on</strong> was thrilled that 30 Li<strong>on</strong>s & Li<strong>on</strong>ess Members from across Niagara joined us to celebrate their fundraising<br />
efforts and get a firsthand look at the state-of-the-art microscope. Photographs courtesy of Denis Cahill.<br />
“The Niagara Health System, al<strong>on</strong>g with the Ophthalmologists and<br />
patients we serve, are extremely grateful for the d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> made by the<br />
LCIF, Li<strong>on</strong>s’ Eye Care Niagara and the <strong>St</strong>. Davids & District Li<strong>on</strong>s Clubs”,<br />
says Jaelynne S<strong>on</strong>ke, Clinical Manager. “Their c<strong>on</strong>tinued generosity and<br />
support has benefited many people in the Niagara Regi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
The state-of-the-art Ophthalmic Operating Microscope is currently being<br />
used for cataract surgeries at the Ontario <strong>St</strong>reet site of the NHS.<br />

The Tree of Lights Sparkled with Hope this Holiday Seas<strong>on</strong><br />
Hundreds of community members filled the air with<br />
Christmas spirit at the 20th Annual “Tree of Lights”<br />
in Thorold and the 26th Annual in <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> this<br />
past November.<br />
D<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong>s from generous community members<br />
throughout the holiday seas<strong>on</strong> kept our “Tree of<br />
Lights” shining brightly at <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> City Hall<br />
and <strong>on</strong> Towpath <strong>St</strong>reet in Thorold all seas<strong>on</strong> l<strong>on</strong>g!<br />
We are delighted to announce that, together, we<br />
raised $77,500 after expenses! These funds have<br />
allowed us to purchase nine Crib <strong>St</strong>retchers<br />
for the Maternal Child Care Unit at the<br />
General.<br />
Pictured <strong>on</strong> right: Santa Claus was excited to pose with<br />
the talented choir from <strong>St</strong>. Charles School who entertained<br />
the crowd with holiday favorites!<br />
Pictured above: Community members enjoyed singing Christmas Carols<br />
(led by <strong>St</strong>acey Hunt) as they participated in a candlelight stroll from<br />
Market Square to the beautiful glowing tree in fr<strong>on</strong>t of City Hall.<br />
Pictured <strong>on</strong> left: Mayor Brian McMullan helped Santa Claus do the<br />

<strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> Tree) and Roy <strong>St</strong>eadman (<strong>on</strong> the Thorold Tree)<br />
Guests were treated to a fantastic show at the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> “Tree of<br />

The Gift of Communicati<strong>on</strong><br />
The Speech Language Pathology Department has two full-time and <strong>on</strong>e parttime<br />
staff that see approximately 900 in-patients and out-patients per year.<br />
They are a small department with large hearts and they work extremely hard (<strong>on</strong><br />
a small budget) to provide the gift of communicati<strong>on</strong> to all patients who visit the<br />
General. When the <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> Singing Saints became aware of their need for<br />
new <strong>equipment</strong>, they came to the rescue with a generous d<strong>on</strong>ati<strong>on</strong> of $2,125.<br />
These funds were used to<br />
purchase two Pocketalkers and<br />
a Biofeedback Set. Pocketalkers<br />
are pers<strong>on</strong>al assistive<br />
listening devices that enable<br />
hearing impaired people<br />
to communicate effectively<br />
<strong>on</strong>e-to-<strong>on</strong>e as well as in large<br />
groups. They offer patients<br />
greater comfort, security and<br />
independence while at the<br />
General. The Biofeedback Set<br />
is a state-of-the-art piece of<br />
<strong>equipment</strong> used to treat facial<br />
and swallowing paralysis and<br />
disorders.<br />

state-of-the-art Biofeedback <str<strong>on</strong>g>set</str<strong>on</strong>g>. In this exercise, she is using the<br />
ic<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the computer to retrain her muscles to smile.<br />
The Singing Saints have stayed true to their motto “We sing that they shall speak”<br />
and we are truly grateful for their c<strong>on</strong>tinued support over the past 16 years.<br />
A Magical Gift for our Youngest Patients<br />
Our Fire Figher friends have d<strong>on</strong>e it<br />
again! The 23rd Annual Magic n’<br />
Miracles show, held December 2010, was<br />
a great success and raised $20,000 for the<br />
Maternal Child & Paediatric Department.<br />
These funds allowed us to purchase two vitally<br />
important pieces of <strong>equipment</strong> for our youngest<br />
patients: a Cardio Respiratory M<strong>on</strong>itor (Labour &<br />
Delivery) and a Crib <strong>St</strong>retcher (Paediatrics).<br />
The <strong>St</strong>. <strong>Catharines</strong> Professi<strong>on</strong>al Fire Fighters’<br />
Associati<strong>on</strong> has informed us that they raised another<br />
$20,000 at the Magic Show this past December, 2011.<br />
This is exciting news for the Department…stay tuned<br />
to discover what patient <strong>care</strong> <strong>equipment</strong> we were able<br />
to purchase!<br />
We are ecstatic to announce that over the past 24 years… $550,000 has been raised<br />
from the Magic n’ Miracles show!<br />
Members of the Singing Saints are proud to show off their recogniti<strong>on</strong> plaque and certificate as<br />
well as a pocketalker and the biofeedback <str<strong>on</strong>g>set</str<strong>on</strong>g>. Pictured left to right: [fr<strong>on</strong>t] Erick Albrecht; Peter<br />

Lifesaving Equipment Arrives at the<br />
General… Because of YOU!<br />
When Niagara residents learned of the great need for two state-ofthe-art<br />
Vigileo M<strong>on</strong>itors, they generously opened their hearts<br />
and their wallets.<br />
Sepsis is a deadly illness that affects 18 milli<strong>on</strong> people worldwide.<br />
Comm<strong>on</strong>ly known as a blood infecti<strong>on</strong>, sepsis is a severe illness in which<br />
the bloodstream is overwhelmed by bacteria. When people are septic,<br />
this <strong>equipment</strong> m<strong>on</strong>itors their various organs (heart/lung) enabling the<br />
Doctor to diagnose and treat promptly and aggressively.<br />
“We have made great progress in our fight against sepsis” says Kathy<br />
Willis, Regi<strong>on</strong>al Sepsis Coordinator. “In the past year, we have decreased<br />
mortality rates by almost 25%, thanks in part to new protocols, increased<br />
awareness and educati<strong>on</strong>, and also, the use of the Vigileo m<strong>on</strong>itors<br />
d<strong>on</strong>ated by the Foundati<strong>on</strong>.”<br />
Until the Vigileo M<strong>on</strong>itor<br />
arrived in July, 2011, the<br />
closest cities with this stateof-the-art<br />
<strong>equipment</strong> were<br />
Tor<strong>on</strong>to, Mississauga and<br />
Buffalo. YOU, our “Friends<br />
of the Foundati<strong>on</strong>” made it<br />
possible for our community<br />
to acquire this <strong>equipment</strong>,<br />
THANK YOU!<br />
<strong>St</strong>eve Latham (Nurse, Emergency)<br />
and Kathy Willis (Regi<strong>on</strong>al Sepsis<br />
Coordinator) were thrilled that the<br />
new Vigileo M<strong>on</strong>itors had arrived.<br />

Big Move Cancer Ride has BIG NEWS<br />
$1.18 milli<strong>on</strong> raised since 2009<br />
Sunshine, blue skies and bright<br />
smiles greeted our riders as they<br />
began their journey at the 3rd Annual<br />
Big Move Cancer Ride <strong>on</strong> Sunday,<br />
September 11, 2011. Cyclists stood<br />
proudly at the start line as they joined<br />
al<strong>on</strong>g in the singing of our Nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
Anthem by Andrew Mammarella.<br />
After a few inspirati<strong>on</strong>al speeches by<br />
local heroes, the riders <str<strong>on</strong>g>set</str<strong>on</strong>g> off <strong>on</strong> their<br />
journey of a 50k, 100k or 100 mile ride.<br />
Al<strong>on</strong>g the route, cyclists were treated to drinks and healthy snacks at rest stops<br />
and were kept safe by our dozens of volunteers and members of the Niagara<br />
Regi<strong>on</strong>al Police. As cyclists crossed the finish line they were cheered <strong>on</strong> by local<br />
cheerleaders from the Niagara Ice Dogs; Brock University and <strong>St</strong>. Paul Catholic<br />
High School.<br />
These cyclists showed incredible commitment to the Ride through their training<br />

Thank you to the 200+ volunteers whose assistance during the Big Move made it possible for this event to<br />
