Spring Appeal Underway At Rmh

Submitted by Kim Coulter

As our community grows, hospital services become even more important. So do the donors whose gifts help fund essential medical equipment and technology needs at Ross Memorial. From doctors to donors, we all play a role in patient care.

RMH Chief of Staff, Dr. Bharat Chawla is proud of the hospital team that works hard to care for our community — and he’s grateful for the generous donors who ensure the team has the tools and technology needed to give patients the best care possible. These connections are life-changing.

“At the Ross Memorial, we do our best to adapt our services to meet the needs of our community. As your healthcare needs evolve and grow, the Ross Memorial evolves and grows,” said Dr. Chawla.

“We’re grateful to be working with Dr. Chawla to raise awareness of essential technology and equipment needs from MRI and the CT Scanner to the new Clinical Information System that connects patients’ digital health records to our diagnostic and clinical tools,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “We’re mailing Dr. Chawla’s letter throughout the Kawartha Lakes to give everyone the opportunity to have an impact on patient care. By working together, we’re advancing care close to home.”

“It takes all of us to keep the Ross functioning at the level we all expect, and to ensure we as a community have access to the best medical tools in a timely fashion,” said Ryan O’Neill, RMH Foundation Board Chair. “Just as Dr. Chawla says—we all have some connection to the Ross Memorial Hospital. Whether we were born there, experienced a life changing event there, received care following an injury, work or volunteer there … we all count on the Ross.”

Please watch for Dr. Chawla’s spring appeal letter in the mail or make a gift at www.rmh.org/foundation. Together, WE ARE THE ROSS.

BIRDHOUSE REALTY –RMH CHAMPIONS

The team at BirdHouse Realty has great cause for celebration. Marking the first anniversary of the new brokerage, Brad Bird’s team has been connecting people with places throughout the Kawartha Lakes and helping residents to fulfill their dreams. At the same time, they’ve been supporting the community they call home.

Recently, Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation was a recipient of a $3,700 gift from them.

One of Brad Bird’s goals in creating this new brokerage was to do more for the community. That’s how the BirdHouse Legacy Fund came to be. With every completed transaction, selling agents contribute $50 to the Legacy Fund and that contribution is matched by BirdHouse Realty. At the end of the year, the agents select four charitable causes to support with a donation from the fund.

“As ambassadors of the Kawartha Lakes lifestyle, we know that a vibrant community includes an exceptional hospital,” said Brad Bird, Broker of Record. “Our team selected the Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation because we all know someone who has needed care at Ross Memorial Hospital, and we know that the Foundation supports the purchase of medical equipment that isn’t otherwise covered through government funding. The donations stay in our community and the impact can be seen right here at our hospital.”

“We’re honoured to be part of the BirdHouse anniversary celebration and to be selected among the community causes they’re supporting through the BirdHouse Legacy Fund,” said Erin Coons, RMH

Foundation CEO. “Their gift will impact care funding transformational technology, medical equipment and capital projects. These include the community’s new MRI and CT Scanner; the Clinical Information System that connects bedside tools, imaging and test results to patients’ digital medical records; and essential equipment including the hospital’s fleet of IV pumps.”

Donate Your Healthy Plants

The Bobcaygeon Horticulture Society annually has a plant sale. Funds from this are used in the gardens around town and the planters you used to see on the bridge but now are outside the CIBC and the Frank Real Estate office.

Organizers are asking anyone who has split plants and wishes to donate some to the plant sale to contact Carol Peters at 705-738-5652.

Med Students Get Rural Experience

Forty-two University of Toronto medical students were treated to the sixth annual Rural Medicine Community Experience Day at Ross Memorial Hospital recently. This event is hosted by the Kawartha Lakes Health Care Initiative (KLHCI) and the Ross Memorial Hospital (RMH).

The first-and-second year students participated in hands-on workshops in suturing and intubation and were actively involved in group discussions regarding rural mental health. The students also engaged in a question and answer session led by a panel of local family physicians regarding work and life in the City of Kawartha Lakes. As this group of students has already expressed interest in practicing rural medicine upon completion of their training, KLHCI is hopeful that this one-day event will encourage many of them to consider a practise in CKL.

“KLHCI cannot coordinate an event such as this without strong support from the leadership and staff of the Ross Memorial Hospital, and the physicians who take part in the workshops and panel. We would like to thank Dr. Dawn Reid, Dr. Sheila-Mae Young, Dr. Peter Petrosoniak, Dr. Baldeep Paul, Dr. Steven Kim (UofT family medicine resident), along with Michelle Way, RT and Kim Semple, RN for volunteering their expertise and passion for the day. Further thanks are extended to KLHCI board members, CKL community members and Pane Vino Trattoria,” says Barb van der Veen, Acting KLHCI President.

“On behalf of the medical students, we wish to express our appreciation to the University of Toronto Faculty Medical Society for the grant received to provide transportation and accommodations for the Rural Medicine Community Experience Day,” states Kevin Chen, Ching-Lung Huang, Jeremy Penn and Samuel Murray, organizing committee of the UofT Rural Medicine Interest Group.

KLHCI is a non-profit, charitable organization whose mandate is to recruit and retain family doctors for the City of Kawartha Lakes. KLHCI is directed through the work of a volunteer Board of Directors that is actively engaged in attracting new Board members from the community. Should you wish to support our efforts of ongoing recruitment and retention of family doctors in this manner, or through a financial donation, please contact Cindy Snider, Recruitment & Retention Coordinator at 705-328-6098 or csnider@rmh.org, or visit the KLHCI website at www.kawarthalakesdoctors. org.
