We’re in this . . .

Today, one in 120 adult Torontonians are HIVpositive. That’s a staggering number, unless you consider that if we’re being honest, many of us have faced HIV risk at some time in our lives.

Together, our collective consciousness shares one pivotal moment in our individual histories. One moment that could have changed the course of each of our lives. One moment that put us at risk for HIV infection.

For the people we care for at Casey House, that moment resulted in a diagnosis of HIV. They face a lifetime of health care needs that will likely escalate as they age.

Though we have come far in treating this disease, cancer risk can be tenfold in a person living with HIV. Dementias, organ disease, chronic pain, depression… a single infection of HIV opens a person’s body up to a host of opportunistic infections and illnesses.

CASEY HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

Casey House was a pioneer in HIV/AIDS health care and in palliative care in our city. We were the first dedicated HIV/ AIDS facility in Canada, and one of the first in the world. And for as long as people in our city need HIV/AIDS care, we’ll be here, continually building on our shared knowledge and services to ensure that no one in our community has to face this disease alone.

Your generous support of Casey House is what makes the difference between a person trying to cope with HIV alone… or together.

Message from the Chair, Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer

Achieving Together Casey House was founded on the principle that we can do more together than alone and this remains the case today.

Each and every day, our dedicated staff and volunteers live our commitment to provide excellent compassionate care for people living with HIV/AIDS. And we do this together with our clients, their families, other health care providers, AIDS service organizations, volunteers, and our donors.

With heightened awareness that our care for people living with HIV/AIDS continues to be desperately needed, we’re pleased to report that the year 2011-12 marked the achievement of numerous milestones. We launched a new admissions process that speeds our 4

intake process, and formed two new partnerships that bring nursing expertise to non-traditional locations where highly marginalized people seriously need our care. Our research program took flight with the arrival of a Research Lead, funded by the Krembil Foundation, enabling us to advance collective knowledge of HIV/AIDS and to improve care.

The planning and design work for our new building received welcome news in September 2011 that Casey House is included in Ontario’s multi-year infrastructure plan. Our redevelopment

project remains on track to go to tender in 2013-14 with occupancy in 2015-16.

Given the rising numbers of people living with HIV/AIDS in Toronto, the need for our new building with the new Day Health Program exists today and will persist long into the future. Our $10 million Capital Campaign is well underway and we are very grateful for the generous gifts that will make this building a reality.

As the detailed design work begins in planning our future, Casey House’s present-day care within our four walls as well as in community clinics and in

people’s homes remains as needed as ever.

June Callwood said “It’s all about kindness.” We so appreciate the kindness of our donors and volunteers.

It is thanks to you that we can continue to address the urgent call for HIV/AIDS health care in Toronto. Together.

“ At Casey House it’s a holistic caring. They’re not just looking at one illness or one problem.

They’re treating all the needs you have as a whole person.”

TOGETHER

Casey House Home Care Program

Respect for the lives we touch Bruce has lost dozens of friends to AIDS. As a registered nurse and friend, he has seen the suffering that HIV/AIDS stigma can cause. But he says care has always been different at Casey House.

In the course of nearly 25 years of witnessing care at Casey House, Bruce says that the fundamental respect for the lives we touch has not diminished, whether in the house at 9 Huntley or in our clients’ own homes. “As a nurse myself, I can tell you that all nurses are caring in some way, but at Casey House it’s different. It’s a holistic caring.

They’re not just looking at one illness or one problem. They’re treating all the needs you have as a whole person.”

Today, Bruce is himself a client of Casey House. HIV-positive for 20 years, he’s

grateful for the treatment advances that have kept him alive. However, they come at a cost, with long and short-term side effects. “Sometimes I praise the medications, and sometimes I curse them,” he reflects. “I’m 58 years old, but my doctor tells me I have the body of someone in their seventies.” Like many long-time HIV survivors, he endures a great deal of pain due to fibromyalgia and bone loss. His memory is not what it used to be. He’s battling prostate cancer, with treatment complicated by his other illnesses.

“I don’t know what I’d do without the nurses and social workers, and my home care worker,” says Bruce. “I would be lost. Not only is it medical issues that they deal with, but we also sit and talk, like friends. Liz, my social worker, listens to all of my problems and feelings and gives me good feedback. I don’t want to imagine what it would be like if that service was taken away, not just for me but for the others I know who need them.

We would be lost in a sea of unending sickness, and problems, and worries.

I’m just so very grateful for them all.”

The Casey House Home Care Program is made possible thanks to your generosity, which supports vital nursing, social work and homemaking care.

Additional support comes from the Toronto Central CCAC, and through partnerships with other AIDS service organizations including Fife House, McEwan Housing and Support Services (LOFT Community Services), and the Housing Working Group of the Toronto HIV/AIDS Network. Thank you for making it possible to bring respectful care into people’s homes, during the hardest time of their lives.

CASEY HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

WHY I GIVE Throughout more than a decade, Stephen Edwards received care from Casey House, both in the hospice and in the comfort of his own home.

Stephen was a committed and brave advocate for HIV/AIDS care, and was profiled in the pages of our annual report for several years until his death in 2005.

Stephen’s father Graham has never forgotten what Casey House meant to his son. “Casey House was able to provide the sort of care at home that he wasn’t able to get any other way,” says Graham. “Because of Casey House, and because of his partner Wayne, Stephen’s quality of life was manageable at home for much longer than it would have been otherwise.”

Today, Graham makes an annual gift to Casey House on the anniversary of Stephen’s death. He has also designated Casey House as a beneficiary in his will. “I know that Stephen would have given something to Casey House if he’d had the means,” says Graham. “In his own way, he did.”

Casey House Outreach Program

HIV care where it’s needed most Most of us have experienced challenges in accessing health care. But what if you didn’t have a place to sleep or food to eat? What if you were a single mother experiencing violence at home, with no family to ask for help?

For people facing obstacles such as these, health care can seem impossible to access, until crisis hits and they end up in ER. “The clients we see on the health bus face mental illness and addiction, poverty, and they may lack the support of family or friends,” says Katie Connolly, one of the Casey House registered nurses who provides specialized HIV care on the Sherbourne Health Bus each week.

The people our nurses treat on the Health Bus commonly have health issues that have been unmanaged and are

worsened by their poor living conditions.

Says Katie, “When we engage clients by providing them with a toothbrush or a pair of socks, they become familiar with our service. This means that they are more likely to come to us with a cut that requires antibiotics, for example, and allow us to refer them to a doctor.’”

Casey House nurses also provide specialized HIV/AIDS clinical support and referrals through outreach clinics for HIV-positive women as well as for former prisoners. “We work with community partners who have

developed trust relationships with individuals who can be hard to reach,” says Bill O’Leary, a Casey House social service worker who also contributes his expertise in helping people address substance use issues. The clinics help clients problem-solve and overcome treatment obstacles, without judgment.

“Health care can be so alienating for these folks. Because we meet them where they are, they begin to see us as partners, and have a much better chance of overcoming the barrage of challenges to their health.”

The Casey House Outreach Program is made possible thanks to your generosity. Your support enables us to send HIV-skilled registered nurses on board the Sherbourne Health Bus, and registered nurses and social support workers to regular clinics for HIV-positive women and former prisoners. These clinics are organized in partnership with the Hassle-Free Clinic, Prisoners’ HIV/AIDS Support and Action Network, People With AIDS Foundation and the AIDS Committee of Toronto. Thank you for your compassion.

SUN LIFE: SUPPORT FOR HIV+ WOMEN Sun Life Financial has always been a generous supporter of Casey House, helping us to open our doors in 1988. Later they helped to launch the home care program and then to develop our new model of care in 2006.

Recognizing that women continue to be one of the fastest growing groups impacted by HIV, Sun Life today supports Casey House with an annual gift of $25,000 for programs that serve HIV-positive women and their children.

“Sun Life is committed to investing in healthier futures,” says Mary De Paoli, Executive Vice-President, Chief Marketing Officer and Public & Corporate Affairs at Sun Life Financial. “We are pleased to support Casey House and the important work they do to break down barriers and make health care accessible for women living with HIV.”

But at Casey House, they help you to live again.”

Casey House Inpatient Program

A place for healing and support Kassim has been HIV-positive for almost half his life. The disease has robbed him of his career, his partner, and much of his independence. But it won’t take his creative spirit.

Kassim left Trinidad when he was barely out of his teens, unable to remain in a country where homosexuality is criminalized. He ended up in Toronto, working nights as a taxi dispatcher while attending design school by day. Saving his money, he eventually opened his own east-end studio. Life was good, with a satisfying creative career that earned him a good living. He fell in love, happily settling into a decade-long relationship.

A diagnosis of HIV/AIDS changed all that.

“My boyfriend got tested and he was sick too,” recalls Kassim. “He blamed me, I blamed him. We just fell apart.” The relationship ended. The two men sought treatment separately, Kassim becoming

a patient of pioneering HIV physician Dr. Anita Rachlis. But as he struggled with medication after medication, he grew increasingly frustrated with the terrible side effects. Too sick to work, lonely and depressed, he stopped taking the pills.

The virus wasted no time, attacking his brain.

“I was so sick,” recalls Kassim. “Dr. Rachlis said I should go to Casey House, that I needed more care than she could give me. But I was terrified. I thought I would die there, for sure. ‘No, no,’ Dr Rachlis said. ‘Kassim, I promise you, they’ll take good care of you.’ And she was right, they did.” With his short-term memory compromised, the team at Casey House taught Kassim strategies

to remember to take his pills. They helped to secure supportive housing, since he could no longer live alone. In the years since, he has twice been admitted to Casey House to manage disease exacerbations.

Today, Kassim is grateful that he is not alone, knowing that his care team at Casey House will support him through the tough times, no matter how bad. He has rediscovered his creativity, as a painter. Beside his bed sits a small acrylic canvas depicting his small childhood home ablaze with Trinidadian sunshine and blooms. “When you’re so sick and alone, you can feel unworthy of living,” says Kassim. “But at Casey House, they help you to live again.”

The Casey House Inpatient Program is housed in our 13-bed specialty hospital at 9 Huntley Street. Twelve beds are funded by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, with a thirteenth bed funded by our donors. Your support also provides the skilled care of on-staff social workers, a massage therapist, a recreation therapist, and a supervisor of volunteers. Your gift enables the Resident Care and Comfort Fund to provide such essentials as toothbrushes, eyeglasses, pajamas, nutritional supplements and phone calls to distant loved ones. It is thanks to you that we provide education and research opportunities, helping to advance global strategies for treating HIV/AIDS. Thank you for your wisdom and kindness.

CASEY HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

KREMBIL FOUNDATION With nearly 25 years of specialized expertise in HIV/ AIDS health care, Casey House is engaged in research opportunities that can help to improve treatment for people living with advanced HIV/ AIDS. Recognizing the importance of this work, the Casey House Board of Directors last year identified “Research, Knowledge Transfer and Exchange” as a strategic direction.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Krembil Foundation, Casey House this year hired a dedicated Research Lead, the first role of its kind at Casey House. “We’re excited to be part of this innovative research initiative,” says Michelle Tricarico of the Krembil Foundation. “Casey House has the experience, knowledge and compassion to strive for solutions to improve the quality of life for people living with HIV/AIDS.”

White Paper

Launch of Casey House White Paper on HIV/AIDS for World AIDS Week This year, during World AIDS Week, Casey House generated significant media coverage, both locally and nationally, with a report outlining new and significant challenges for Ontario’s health care system in addressing the ongoing crisis of HIV/AIDS, particularly in Toronto. The report also released new polling data revealing that Ontarians are concerned and compassionate about the well-being of people struggling with HIV/AIDS in our province. Finally, the report outlined Casey House plans to introduce a new Day Health Program, to more than double our capacity to provide health care services for people living with HIV/AIDS. The report was co-authored by Dr. Kevin Gough (Director, Division of Infectious Diseases at St. Michael’s Hospital) and Casey House Chief Executive Officer Stephanie Karapita. Facing the Future: An Innovative Response to the Urgent HIV/AIDS Crisis in Toronto was launched at “Voices of Hope,” our annual awareness-raising concert marking World AIDS Day on December 1.

12

“The good news is that HIV/AIDS is no longer a death sentence,” says Dr. Gough.

“Today, if people have access to treatment, HIV/AIDS can be more like a chronic disease that waxes and wanes in severity throughout their lives. That’s terrific news. But we’re seeing that as people age with HIV/AIDS, their health care needs frequently escalate and can become very disabling.”

Notes Stephanie Karapita, “The Day Health Program will be an innovative response to the expanding demand for chronic care management in our province, which currently claims 55 percent of direct and indirect health care costs in Ontario. Not only is this program a targeted means to address the expanding and deepening need for complex HIV/AIDS treatment in Toronto, but it’s also an effective way to reach out to marginalized populations who are not currently getting the range of health care services that they need to stay healthy and out of hospital.”

1 IN 120 ADULTS IN TORONTO ARE HIV POSITIVE. Let’s face the future together.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REPORT The HIV/AIDS epidemic continues to grow in Ontario • More people live with HIV/AIDS in Toronto than ever before, with 1 in 120 adult Torontonians estimated to be HIV-positive.

• The number of people living with HIV/AIDS in Ontario grew by 31 percent from 2003 to 2008. This trend is continuing.

The challenges of HIV/AIDS are growing in complexity for Ontario’s health care system • The face of HIV/AIDS is changing: although gay men continue to make up the largest group of people living with the disease, new infections continue to grow among women and within the Aboriginal community, as well as for new Canadians.

• Deep stigma, poverty, and marginalization continue to accompany a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS,

creating additional barriers to the provision of effective health care.

•T he new phenomenon of the “Greying of AIDS” will have widespread impact on the health care system: by 2015, half the HIV+ positive population in Ontario is expected to be older than 50, with health care needs escalating as they age.

Ontarians remain concerned and compassionate about the health of people living with HIV/AIDS: •N ine out of 10 survey respondents agree that society has a “moral obligation” to provide compassionate treatment to people living with HIV, no matter how they contracted the disease.

•N ine out of 10 Ontarians also agree that Ontario needs new options for HIV/AIDS health care services that will reduce hospital stays.

Friends InDeed Legacy Society

WHY I CHOOSE TO SUPPORT CASEY HOUSE IN MY WILL Paul Gauthier has been supporting AIDS charities since the emergence of the disease in the mid 1980’s. As a volunteer and union organizer with the flight attendants’ union, he successfully helped to rally union membership to call for public and financial support for the cause, despite the terrible stigma of the time. He also became a peer support volunteer with the AIDS Committee of Toronto but found this work physically and emotionally exhausting as years went on. No longer able to help in this way, Gauthier decided to make regular donations to Casey House. “I thought, what I could no longer do physically, I could do financially.”

Since those first days, Gauthier has been a regular donor to Casey House, first as

CASEY HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

an annual donor and then adjusting his gift to be a monthly one. “I know that with a monthly gift, I can more easily plan my budget so I don’t get a big hit at the end of the year. And it also means that money comes in regularly to Casey House, so they can plan their budget better.”

In 2000, Gauthier decided to leave gifts in his will to Casey House and two cancer charities that have touched his life. “I don’t have family, aside from some distant cousins and friends who don’t really need my money. I hope that my gift can help Casey House to keep up the wonderful work they’re doing. To me, Casey House is so forward thinking. It’s proactive in the way it helps people with this horrible disease, as opposed to

reactive. They know how to get their help to all people who are affected and infected. I’ve seen with my own eyes how Casey House helps, and I trust they will use my money wisely.”

A legacy gift to Casey House Foundation is an inspiring and joyful way to ensure your values and dreams for the future of HIV/AIDS treatment become a reality.

Every legacy gift, regardless of the amount, is important and cherished. For more information on how you can build your legacy, please contact Tracy Hatten at 416-962-4040 ext. 233.

Events & Awareness

Signature Events Casey House signature events raise funds for our vital community programs, which rely almost exclusively on donor support. Thank you to our generous sponsors, volunteers, artists, galleries, and attendees—you’re bringing health and hope to people living with HIV/ AIDS in Toronto.

Art with Heart, presented by TD Bank Group, was October’s hottest ticket in town. Tickets were sold out well in advance, proof of the event’s continued reputation as Canada’s most exciting auction of contemporary art. The collection once again broke all previous 16

sales records, continuing the growth of this highly successful art event.

Remember to mark this must-attend auction in your calendar for October 17, 2012.

Voices of Hope for World AIDS Day was once again a beautiful evening of song, candlelight and fellowship. The pay-what-you-can event is a yearly demonstration of our community’s support for people living with HIV/ AIDS, and an opportunity to remember the many precious lives lost. Casey House once again collaborated with Vancouver’s Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation

and Montreal’s La Maison du Parc to present this trio of concerts. Our deep thanks to National Presenting Sponsor M•A•C AIDS Fund for its generous financial and volunteer support for this unique national collaboration.

In February, event co-chairs Tommy Smythe, Suzanne Dimma and Mark Challen hosted SnowBall 2012 – ELEMENTAL, a very special gala and lounge party presented by BMO Financial Group. Luxury design showroom AVENUE ROAD was transformed into a living, breathing theatre of the senses, in which guests

dined amidst soaring architecture as Jonathan Gushue of Langdon Hall prepared a unique dining experience.

Following dinner, the party vibe kicked in as environmental design by artistdesigner Barr Gilmore transformed the venue into the hottest club in town. The evening also featured acrobatic performances, a live auction, and the presentation of The Casey Awards, celebrating the pioneering vision and social justice activism of Casey House founder June Callwood.

CASEY HOUSE CAPITAL CAMPAIGN We know that you agree: Nobody should have to manage HIV/AIDS alone.

Together, our community has helped to build Casey House as a centre of compassion and excellence, supporting us for almost 25 years as we continually evolve to meet the changing and expanding need.

TOGETHER

Casey House Capital Campaign

Putting HIV/AIDS on the map: Mark S. Bonham Mark S. Bonham is an active community supporter and philanthropist in the areas of sexual diversity, education, amateur sport and HIV/AIDS. In 2000 Bonham made a transformational $2.5 million gift to Casey House.

The largest single gift ever made by an individual to a Canadian HIV/ AIDS charity at the time, this donation allowed Casey House to purchase the mansion at 571 Jarvis Street, with additional support to launch the Casey House Capital Campaign, leading to a greatly enriched and expanded home for specialized HIV/AIDS health care.

Bonham continues to be actively engaged in the planning process, as a member of the Casey House Campaign Cabinet.

Can you tell us about your decision to first support Casey House?

I had reached a point in my life when I had achieved some business success, and I wanted to give back. I had already established a charitable foundation that supported youth scholarships, but I had just come out as a gay man and I knew that I also wanted to focus my support on the LGBT community. I got connected to Casey House, and soon met CASEY HOUSE ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012

with June Callwood. And once you got to meet June–well, she could be pretty convincing. She was very passionate.

Why are you excited about the plans for the Day Health Program and the new facility?

There are a number of opportunities that excite me. I like that we’re taking a bold step forward to deal with the ongoing issue of HIV/AIDS. The fact that this disease has slipped from public consciousness is a terrible shame because many people in our community continue to really suffer. I’ve seen the drug side effects and the related illnesses that affect people living with HIV/AIDS. People are facing significantly deteriorating health and quality of life, and they need support.

I also like that this particular site, with a very prominent location on Jarvis, will be a significant landmark in Toronto to raise awareness and continue the fight against HIV/AIDS. People are really

suffering, and this prominent location will bring the issue back into public consciousness. This will be critical if we’re going to prevail against HIV/AIDS. Also, I like that this project will put Toronto on the map in the international medical community, demonstrating our city’s continued commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS. This bold new move will hopefully open the door to additional resources to address the international AIDS problem as well.

What would you say to others who may be considering making a campaign gift?

I hope that they’re as inspired as I am by the promise of moving forward in addressing the issue of HIV/AIDS. For too long we’ve been avoiding the issue and hoping it will go away. But this isn’t going to happen, unless we take significant and bold action together.

We are, of course, grateful for every gift we receive.

There are gifts that allow us to continue our work. There are gifts that allow us to do more.

And there are gifts that fundamentally transform what we are able to do.

Mark’s gift kickstarted the transformation of an entire institution.
