“The human Touch is rooTed in

sT. michael’s culTure

across every aspect of the hospital and in Dr. Daniels and his incredible team.”

A hunting accident at age 15, when a 12-gauge shotgun blast tore through

Charlie’s right foot, meant a series of painful corrective procedures and

difficulty walking as an adult. His research led him to Dr. Tim Daniels,

recognized as the top foot and ankle surgeon in Canada. Dr. Daniels performed

two surgeries at St. Michael’s that finally liberated Charlie from pain.

“While some hospitals may be shinier and others have higher profile, none offered

the patient experience i received at this hospital. st. michael’s is world class.”

Charlie knows that St. Michael’s is a leader in first-class orthopedic care.

Donors to our Inspire 2018 campaign are helping to build a new

16-bed unit in the Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower, which will connect with our

existing 16-bed orthopedic unit, enabling us to help even more patients like Charlie.

a world leader in urban healTh


St. Michael’s is a remarkable place with a long history of having the best people delivering the very best patient care – a place that I have been proud to be a part of for more than 30 years. With our Inspire 2018 campaign we will transform St. Michael’s, updating facilities and equipment to give us the tools we need to become the premier critical care hospital in Canada and a world leader in urban health.

Our exciting future is quickly becoming a reality. Thanks to the most successful fundraising year ever and investments by our largest individual and corporate donors to date, construction of the new Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower has begun. The centrepiece of our transformation, this state-of-the-art building, along with our twice-as-large Slaight Family Emergency Department and the Element Financial Atrium and Way, will improve patient care and ensure best-possible outcomes for all of our patients, saving even more lives.

Government funding pays for much of our health care costs, but not all of it. Without the support of generous

community partners and donors it would be impossible to advance the research and education necessary to innovate and deliver superior care to all our patients. Your contributions allow us to provide the very best in patient care today, tomorrow and into the future.

Your support makes all the difference, so simply, thank you. Our vision for the future of St. Michael’s is becoming a reality – please join us on our journey.

President & CEOSt. Michael’s Hospital

a Terrific year!


I am pleased to share our 2014-2015 Annual Report with you. Thanks to our friends and supporters, it has been another terrific year! Once again, our donors have demonstrated their remarkable commitment to the mission of St. Michael’s. This year has seen important contributions from Peter Gilgan and Element Financial, among others. We certainly appreciate all gifts. We are most grateful that, among a host of choices, all our donors continue to make health care, as it is practiced at this hospital, their philanthropic priority. Our skilled teams certainly could not achieve all they do without you.

I am also most appreciative of all the work done by our dedicated Foundation volunteers. Although you don’t see them when you come for your hospital visit, they are an essential part of the St. Michael’s team. Their time and energy have been integral to the continuing success of our Inspire 2018 campaign, which, with their help, I am sure will reach its target in the coming year.

On behalf of the physicians, nurses and staff of St. Michael’s, I want to say a most sincere thank you to all our donors for the wonderful support you have shown this year. Your generosity supports the care that our people provide to those in need every day. Your gifts to our Inspire 2018 campaign will help us realize our future. Thank you.

Let’s celebrate the events of this past year, as together we look forward to an exciting future!

With best wishes,

L. Alayne Metrick, FAHP

President St. Michael’s Foundation


a GreaT Team

Over the last four years as Chair of the Foundation Board, I have watched this hospital reach extraordinary milestones in its history. The ambitious goal to become Canada’s premier critical care hospital is well underway as we close in on the final $28 million of our campaign. We have made great strides in our research and education programs, continuing to recruit the best and brightest. We have a new strategic plan that will position us as a world leader in urban health. And we have done it all while maintaining the core value of compassionate care to all. Together, we have accomplished a lot. And we should be proud. Great success is not possible without a great team. Our accomplishments would simply not happen without the committed staff, dedicated caregivers, savvy fundraisers and, of course, generous donors. Because of you, we are able to make a measurable impact on the type of care we provide – meaning our patients get better sooner. What a terrific outcome to celebrate. As I pass the leadership reigns to incoming Chair

Frank Techar, I am confident we will complete Inspire 2018 and see this hospital transform into a world-class facility,

matching our world-class care. With the continued support of our exceptional executive team, led by Dr. Bob Howard, and our committed foundation team of volunteers and board members under the leadership of Alayne Metrick, the future of this hospital is in great hands. I look forward to seeing it come to life.

The urban anGel

I’m extremely proud to be part of this great place. In my five years as a Director on the Hospital’s Board, I’ve seen first-hand how remarkable St. Michael’s is. It’s not just a great hospital, but also an essential part of the fabric of Toronto. It is the only hospital located downtown founded to serve the needs of the inner city and is also a major centre of critical care for patients. As a leader in urban health and critical care, this hospital is often caring for the sickest of the sick. No wonder it is affectionately known as the “Urban Angel.”

St. Michael’s is home to a world-class team. But what makes care in St. Michael’s so great goes further than the medical expertise of its staff. When patients come to St. Michael’s, they are more than just a waiting room number: they are genuinely listened to and treated with respect and compassion.

St. Michael’s also contributes significantly to medical innovation. An important facility for research and education with an affiliation with the University of Toronto, it’s counted among the top research hospitals in Canada.

With the new Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower as the centrepiece of our Inspire 2018 campaign, we are poised to take ‘great’ to a new level. Once completed, it will be one of the best hospital campuses in the country, providing even faster, safer and better care for Toronto’s growing population and beyond.

Under outgoing Chair Michael Norris, the Foundation has achieved two of its most successful years ever. Please join me in thanking Mike for his inspiring leadership. As the new Foundation Board Chair, I encourage you to join us as we strive to complete Inspire 2018 – help us continue to provide great care for patients, today and in the future. Donor support enables us to truly make a difference – simply, thank you.

This year, donor generosity and the efforts of our dedicated volunteers enabled us to establish the term chair in voice Disorders research.

Many donors make gifts as investments to support quality care today and tomorrow. They are investing in the future of the St. Michael’s Hospital. Endowed gifts are invested by the Foundation and the accrued interest

supports care, research and education through Chairs or Funds. Here are some examples:

“it was like sixpeople standing

on my chest.”

It could happen to anyone. When paul had a heart attack at age 60,

he came to St. Michael’s where he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation,

three major blockages and a weakened heart, possibly from previous minor

heart attacks. He was treated by our cardiology and cardiac team with an

angioplasty and triple bypass surgery. debra, his wife, was impressed

by the staff: “That first night I could sleep because I trusted the nurses

to look after Paul. I can’t say enough about St. Michael’s.”

“thanks to the immediate and expert care from st. michael’s, including dr. akshay Bagai

and dr. david latter, i’m still here!”

Many donors like Paul and Debra know the importance of great cardiac care.

That’s why they’re supporting the construction of the new Coronary Intensive Care

Unit in the Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower, the centrepiece of Inspire 2018.

“it was terrifying: my face had

doubled in size.

Dr. Thomas was calm and very reassuring during a moment of real stress.”

aysa has worked at St. Michael’s for more than 17 years. Recently, however,

what turned out to be hives on her cheek on Thursday became an urgent

and frightening problem by Saturday. Naturally she sought care in a place

where care is unparalleled. At our Sherbourne Family Clinic,

she was treated by resident Dr. Hana Susan Thomas –

immediately things began to return to normal.

“i’ve always known st. michael’s offers great care, but now i speak from

personal experience.”

Staff members like Aysa know first-hand that St. Michael’s delivers the

very best in compassionate care. That’s why she – and 100% of our physicians –

are supporting Inspire 2018.

“when people say they need back surgery, i say

‘go to st. michael’s.’”

Imagine playing soccer one day, and the next you’re in a wheelchair.

Only 25, nicole came to St. Michael’s with two herniated discs and early

degeneration of two vertebrae. The pain got so severe that Nicole resorted first

to using crutches and then a wheelchair to get to her classes at York University.

Dr. Sunit Das and his team swung into action. Standing up after surgery,

Nicole felt no pain: “I had the biggest smile on my face at that moment.”

“dr. das was phenomenal. he treated me as if i was his own

daughter. thank you, st. michael’s!”

Nicole and patients like her know that great surgical care is critical.

That’s the reason they’re supporting the creation of five new hybrid operating

rooms in the Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower.

in memory ofpatrick j. keenan

In May 2014, we mourned the loss of patrick (pat) J. Keenan, one of our

dear friends and most generous benefactors. His relationship with the

hospital spanned nearly 30 years, and included important roles as hospital

Board Chair, dedicated volunteer and advocate, philanthropist and friend.

We remember Pat with great gratitude and thank his wife Barbara and the rest

of the Keenan family for their continued commitment to St. Michael’s.


creating a new“main street”

With its investment of $15 million, Element Financial has established itself as

a leader in philanthropy by making the largest single investment by

a corporation in our history. This donation will help people navigate

St. Michael’s more easily by creating the element Financial Way and a new

public meeting place and hub for information and retail services called the

element Financial atrium in the new Peter Gilgan Patient Care Tower.

Take Me To ST. Mike’Scampaignthe phrase Take me to St. Mike’s appeared as a temporary tattoo on people doing every day activities that could be potentially dangerous. this year’s holiday campaign reminded people to “take care… but if you need care, St. michael’s is where you want to be.” it highlighted our leadership in the care of the critically ill, those who need care within the hour to survive.

staff spiritthe Funraisers, a group of St. michael’s staff and volunteers, have successfully held numerous events, including a Holiday Bazaar. in December 2014, for the second time, they arranged this popular event with more than 20 vendors of holiday gifts and specialty food items participating.

new Brain surgery chairour first chair in cerebrovascular and Brain tumor Surgery is held by dr. Julian spears, co-director of our neurovascular program.

“coming to canada, i was told the best

hospital for glaucoma was st. michael’s.”

Diagnosed with glaucoma as a boy in Poland, chris had the help of

Dr. Neeru Gupta when his condition deteriorated later in life and when he

developed cataracts. Because of family history, Dr. Gupta also investigated

the eye health of Chris’s daughters. Chris now considers Dr. Gupta his family’s

guardian angel. Two generations of the Polis family, Chris and his daughter

Natalia, have now been treated at St. Michael’s.

“we will never be able to adequately thank st. michael’s or dr. gupta for the quality

of life they gave my daughter, now studying to be a lawyer.”

Grateful patients like Chris and his daughter have had life-changing experiences

at St. Michael’s. That’s why friends like them are supporting Inspire 2018

and the new Donald and Nita Reed Ophthalmology Centre.

and renovations that will nearly double the size of the Slaight Family emergency Department. construction of the tower is expected to take three years, during which time the hospital will remain

open. Dr. Hoskins with shovel in hand said that St. michael’s is “the heart and soul of the city. this bold redevelopment project will touch the lives of many. this project is visionary.”

“st. mike’s is where you want to be.

you’ll get the best care there.

You’ll fly in, but you’ll walk out.” That’s what the air ambulance paramedic told

police sergeant Kelly when her cruiser was hit head-on by a pick-up truck.

The accident broke both her legs, her wrist and several bones in her neck and

back, injuries that could have kept her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

At St. Michael’s, Dr. Michael McKee and his team got her back on the road to

recovery. The consideration shown by physicians and staff meant she never felt

alone and never had to wonder about the next steps in her recovery.

“i’m blessed that i was taken to st. mike’s. it’s a world-class hospital

with amazing staff.”

Airlifted to St. Michael’s, Kelly knows the benefit of receiving expert care.

Donors to our Inspire 2018 campaign who, like Kelly, have been treated here are

making sure that St. Michael’s is equipped to serve its patients into the future.
