GRATITUDE REPORT 3
Message from the CEO & Chair The support from across Saskatchewan has been awe-inspiring. With the new Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan being built to help our province’s moms-to-be, babies, children and teens, the feeling is one of optimism. This is especially true to those who are witnessing this hospital come out of the ground and grace our prairie horizon. Do you remember when we spoke of how Saskatchewan was one of the last provinces in Canada, besides PEI, without a dedicated children’s hospital? It is thanks to your generous spirit that our new hospital will be opening in 2019 and will include all the necessary special enhancements to ensure families will be able to focus on their loved ones. In addition, because we cannot wait for the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan to open, our Foundation provided over $1M for immediate maternal and pediatric needs this past year. You gave us the opportunity to purchase equipment, provide education, enhance patient care, and begin homegrown research projects that will assist in recruiting and retaining specialists to Saskatchewan. Babies, children, teens, and moms who require treatment today need us to fulfil those high priorities as well as outfit the new Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan. Two jobs with one purpose; together we are healing and helping Saskatchewan kids and families, today and in the future. Look through these pages to see what you have done to save lives with your undesignated dollars of support. We also tip our hat to Garth Brooks, who shared his talents by donating special performances in Saskatoon and Regina. The result is a new space within the children’s hospital for a Child Life program, uniquely commissioned by Mr. Brooks at no cost to us. You read this correctly; Garth Brooks travelled, entertained, and is providing his own architect to equip this space with NO expenses charged to our Foundation. Over and above, Mosaic came on board to support the programming for this healing therapy. A first in Canada! Our treasured donors, sponsors, and individuals; please accept our genuine thanks in allowing our Foundation to reach new heights in a year that has seen economic challenge. To our volunteers and community organizations, we extend our sincere appreciation for helping us reach others through events and socials you work so hard to coordinate. Each commitment makes a positive impact in the lives of Saskatchewan families. Your funds touch many lives. We simply could not have done this work without you. Thank you all.

Message from the Minister of Health
Message from the Saskatoon Health Region
On behalf of the Government of Saskatchewan and the Ministry of Health, I am pleased to recognize the work of the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan. Our government was proud to see construction of the main building of the children’s hospital begin last fall. This was the culmination of a lot of hard work by many, including the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan (CHFS) and its donors, who believe that the people of Saskatchewan deserve a state-of-the art children’s hospital.
We have spent a year watching the Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan (CHS) rise out of the ground. What was once an empty space is now a massive structure that will one day help us keep the children, pregnant women, mothers and babies of this province healthy. It’s taken a lot of hard work to get this hospital to where it is today, and it will take even more to get it finished.
Thanks to the support of the people of Saskatchewan, as well as the contributions of our many generous corporate and individual donors, we will have a children’s hospital in this province. The Children’s Hospital of Saskatchewan will enhance both quality of care and the care experience for children and their families, while assisting in the recruitment and retention of pediatric specialists of the highest caliber.
I want to thank the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan for its leadership, enthusiasm and belief in this project. Your commitment to fundraising $75 million will ensure that the children’s hospital is a special place for children and their families. Exceptional donations by Saskatchewan philanthropists will ensure that medical professionals have access to the best equipment, technology, and research.
This hospital would not be possible without the efforts of the Children’s Hospital Foundation staff and board. We are thankful to have such strong partners like the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan and the provincial government on this journey. The road until now has been a long one, and it has not been without its challenges. But we have faced these challenges together and our commitment to realizing a maternal and children’s hospital in Saskatchewan has never been stronger. We can’t wait either! Together, we will make it happen.
We are grateful for your commitment to this project and wish you continued success.
The Honourable Jim Reiter Minister of Health Government of Saskatchewan
Dan Florizone President and CEO Saskatoon Health Region
GRATITUDE REPORT
The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan | 2016
As of September 2016 the new Children’s Hospital was approximately 25 per cent complete, and is on track to open in 2019. Our Government, the Foundation, the Saskatoon Health Region, and other project partners have the same goal: to build an efficient modern hospital that exemplifies patientand-family-centered care and meets the health needs of mothers, babies, children and teens within Saskatchewan.
While the construction crews work on the ground, and Saskatoon Health Region physicians and staff prepare for operations in the new hospital when it opens in later 2019, the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan remains steadfast in its dedication and commitment to this new facility and is creating excitement for it across our province. Last year, the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan committed to raise additional funds for the new maternal and children’s hospital. And this year, staff, board members and generous donors have helped the Foundation get closer to reaching its $75 million capital campaign goal. From lemonade stands to birthday money donations to large corporate supporters, you are building this new facility and ensuring it has all the equipment and furnishing it needs to feel like home for Saskatchewan families, no matter where home may be. Given that, while the words seem inadequate, we aren’t sure what else to say but simply thank-you.

6 EXTRAORDINARY THINGS YOU MADE POSSIBLE THIS YEAR While we continue to work on bringing your new maternal and children’s hospital to life, we are also committed to providing hope and healing today by funding some of our most urgent needs and most promising research.
1 2
You helped care for kids with brain injuries A four-day Acquired Brain Injury Youth Camp brought together children with moderate to severe acquired brain injuries (ABI) from across Saskatchewan. Held at Camp Quest at Christopher Lake, the educational camp helped reduce barriers for ABI patients, and taught participants how to overcome challenges while also including fun activities like swimming, crafts, tubing, campfires, archery, pontoon rides, laser tag, wall climbing, and nature walks.
You kept sick kids closer to home Remote “doctor-in-a-box” technology is changing the face of pediatric acute care in the northern community of Pelican Narrows. The remote presence is providing extraordinary 24/7 access to provincial pediatric specialists, reducing the perilous ambulance drive on gravel roads for further assessment for many young patients.
3
You helped kids sleep better
4
You gave hope to kids with chronic pain
Breathing problems are the leading cause of chronic illness and hospitalization in children. New portable sleep study monitors for children as young as two ease the serious diagnostic challenges of obstructive sleep apnea, one of the most common breathing problems in kids. With sleep studies running 7 days per week and a 6-8 month wait list, the existing monitors will be used to reduce wait times and expand service to Prince Albert.
Kids with chronic pain will soon see new research into pain medicine, genetics, and psychology, thanks to the creation of the Chronic Pain Network. The national collaboration with internationally respected researchers will help improve pain management and build links between national and Saskatchewan-based researchers.

You brought new treatment to Saskatchewan
6
You reduced painful needle pokes for moms
Tissue Plasma Exchange is a new lifesaving therapy offered only through the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, thanks to last year’s purchase of a Pheresis Machine by the Foundation. This year, further team training and education is contributing to previously limited pediatric research in the area and is improving the vital service, allowing more children to be treated right here at home.
A new portable ultrasound machine in Maternal Services in Saskatoon is making intravenous (IV) access easier for pregnant women. The new machine is used when IV access is difficult, a common occurrence amongst pregnant women. Funded in partnership with Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation.

CHAMPION CHILD The Children’s Miracle Network Champions Program, presented by Walmart Canada, honours remarkable children who have triumphed despite severe medical challenges. Each champion acts as an ambassador for his or her Children’s Miracle Network member hospital.
Derek and Vicki only had a moment to touch their daughter’s hand through the isolette before she was rushed to NICU. What followed was a 2 month roller coaster ride of unknown equipment, terminology, and feeding difficulties before Calla was healthy enough to go home. Calla’s medical challenges continued, including a diagnosis of mild cerebral palsy, a seizure, ankle braces, physiotherapy, and multiple hospital trips for respiratory issues.
GRATITUDE REPORT
Fast forward twelve years, Calla Gross of Saskatoon is this year’s Saskatchewan Champion for the Champions Program presented by Walmart Canada. She is always looking to give back to the hospital that saved her life. Since she was 4, Calla has donated her allowance, birthday and piggy bank money to help kids like her lead healthier lives.
The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Saskatchewan | 2016
It’s the kind of news that strikes fear into the heart of any parent-to-be. Derek and Vicki Gross were no exception when, at 27 weeks into her pregnancy, Vicki was told she was going into labour. For five long days, medical staff did everything they could to delay labour, but Calla came 3 months early, weighing only 2 pounds.
