    UNIVERSITY HEALTH NETWORK- TORONTO REHABILITATION INSTITUTE VOLUNTARY INTEGRATION BUSINESS CASE CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT May 12, 2011 Submitted by: _________________ ___________________ Dr. Robert Bell Mr. Mark Rochon President and CEO President and CEO University Health Network Toronto Rehabilitation Institute 1 1. Executive Summary On June 30, 2011 Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (Toronto Rehab) and University Health Network (UHN) plan to voluntarily integrate their clinical, research and education programs and support services to become Canada’s premier academic hospital. This integration will create a world leading health sciences centre that provides integrated programs in acute, rehabilitation, complex continuing and long-term care for adults. The goal of integration is to improve the experiences of patients and residents through novel models of care across acute, rehabilitation, complex continuing care and long term care continuum in a wide range of clinical programs. This voluntary integration will also provide a rich environment to further Ontario’s focus on interprofessional education and teaching. Toronto Rehab is home to one of the largest rehabilitation research programs in North America. Research strengths of Toronto Rehab will be joined with those of UHN to advance research ranging from outcomes research and evidence based practice across the care continuum to technologies that improve therapeutic interventions and support people at home. A major emphasis on rehabilitation research will continue into the future. 2. Principles and Commitments The hospitals intend to effect the proposed integration in a manner that is as close as possible to the features of a statutory amalgamation. As such, given that in these circumstances UHN is a Special Act Corporation (University Health Network Act, 1997) and Toronto Rehab is a Letters Patent corporation, an asset transfer will be used to complete the integration.

    Queen Banda de rock británica formada por Freddie Mercury (voz), Brian May (guitarra), Roger Taylor (batería) y John Deacon (bajo). El grupo gozó de gran fama a finales de los setenta y durante toda la década de los ochenta, y sus discos fueron superventas incluso después del fallecimiento en 1991 de Freddie Mercury, víctima del SIDA. 1. Historia 1.1. Orígenes Sus orígenes se remontan al inicio de los sesenta, cuando el joven guitarrista Brian Harold May (nacido en 1947) comenzó a tocar en un grupo semiprofesional llamado 1984. Brian, experto conocedor de varios instrumentos de cuerda, diseñaba incluso sus propias guitarras, conocidas posteriormente como el modelo Red Special. Brian May pasó después a formar parte de otra banda, llamada Smile, con la que editó un single. Inesperadamente, Tim Stafell, el cantante de la banda, abandonó el grupo; para buscar su sustituto, los miembros de Smile decidieron hacer una prueba al cantante de Sour Milk Sea, que no era otro que Freddie Mercury, y fue rápidamente admitido. 1.2. Freddy Por aquel entonces Freddie Mercury ya estaba acostumbrado a aparecer en público y sobre el escenario con vestimentas llamativas y atrevidas. Freddie contaba con una prodigiosa voz y sobrados conocimientos de piano. A esto se unió una base rítmica firmada por John Richard Deacon (nacido en 1951) al bajo y la batería de Roger Meadows Taylor (nacido en 1949). 2. Carrera musical 2.1. Primer trabajo El grupo comenzó a grabar maquetas y la compañía discográfica EMI, después de verlos actuar en el Marquee de Londres, se interesó por ellos.
