In 2013, we contributed more than $2.36-million to a broad range of research programs across our supported sites, bringing our five-year contributions to nearly $12-million. According to Pearl F. Veenema, President and CEO, Hamilton Health Sciences Foundation, “we are proud of our contributions to advancing the world-class medical research that takes place across Hamilton Health Sciences, and are appreciative of our donors who understand the importance that research plays in the prevention and treatment of disease.” This support takes many forms including the development and funding of eight Academic Vera Tomlinson and Dr. Alexandra Papaioannou at the official opening of Research Chairs. With the support of our donor the GERAS Centre. partners, endowed chairs enable leading researchers to pursue critically important areas of study. At the Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre’s Escarpment Cancer Research Institute we continued our support for the ArcelorMittal Dofasco Research Chair in Experimental Cancer Therapeutics in addition to supporting a Grant Distribution program that has continued to grow since it was first launched. (Please see the related story on page 4). The McMaster Children’s Hospital Research Collaborative also received funding support for operating grants to both established and emerging research programs. Internationally recognized pediatric programs with expertise in mental health, neonatology, developmental disabilities, neuromuscular disorders, childhood obesity and surgical care benefited from The Foundation’s support. In 2013, St. Peter’s Hospital celebrated the launch of the Geriatric Education and Research in Aging Sciences Centre (GERAS), within the Juravinski Research Centre on Aging. GERAS aims to improve the quality of living for seniors with chronic diseases through innovative research, education for health professionals, and health promotion strategies for seniors and their families. Our funding support enabled Post- Doctoral Fellow Janet Pritchard to continue her research on improving care for seniors through increasing osteoporosis awareness and fracture prevention among family physicians and patients. At Hamilton General Hospital, we provided funding support for a Stroke Fellowship Program led by world-recognized stroke experts. This Fellowship is designed to train physicians to become expert clinicians in the prevention of stroke and in the management of acute stroke care, stroke rehabilitation and recovery. Currently, this Fellowship program is home to the largest concentration of stroke experts in Canada.

  • The History of the Department of Anesthesia Historical Timeline - Manuscript
    The History of the Department of Anesthesia Historical Timeline - Manuscript 1812 The Burlington Heights and Emigrant Hospital is a temporary military medical barrack established in 1812 (due to the absence of any municipal hospital in Hamilton at this time) that treated the military, arriving immigrants, and poor residents of Hamilton. Temporary buildings for medical treatment for the most common illnesses such as smallpox, cholera, and typhus were also set up along the bayshore; however, these primitive medical centers were closed in 1849 due to the opening of Hamilton’s first municipal hospital in 18481. 1844 Nitrous Oxide is introduced into the medical community as an anesthetic agent by a Connecticut Dentist by the name of Horace Wells; however, its anesthetic properties were not recorded to have been put to general surgical use until twenty years after its discovery. Nitrous Oxide and its dependency on oxygen to function, leads to the development of an intermittent flow nitrous oxide and oxygen anesthetic gas machine in the 1910. The first successful use of the gas machine and nitrous oxide in surgery is attributed to Dr. E.I. McKessen.2 1846 The City of Hamilton is Incorporated. Ether is introduced into the medical community as one of the first anesthetic agents in 1846; however, the earliest recording that points to its anesthetic properties were made in 1540 by a German botanist named Valerius Cordus. Cordus synthesized ether and discovered its (similar) anesthetic effects via inhalation, when he would use it to enliven recreational parties, or as they have been nick named, “ether frolicks”.3 Historically speaking, there remains debate and contention over who the first discoverer of ether is as Crawford W.

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is a family of hospitals serving the 468,000 citi- zens of the city of Hamilton and the more than two million residents of Central- South Ontario, Canada.
