Annual Report Year ended March 31, 2020 ANALYSIS OF REVENUE FROM FUND RAISING A = Annual Appeal B = Donations and Memorials C = Planned Giving D = Lotteries E = Capital Campaign A. As the Extraordinary Care Capital Campaign was the major fundraising focus for 2019-20, no annual campaign was launched during the year. Some donations continued to be received from the 2018-19 campaign, however. E. In addition to the revenues from the Employee Lottery, this year revenue was received from the NB Hospital Home Lottery in the first year of a partnership between the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation, the CHU Dumont Hospital Foundation and the Friends of TMH Foundation. F. In September of 2019 the foundation announced that the Extraordinary Care Campaign had exceeded the goal of $8 million, reaching $10.1 million in support of the new Maternity Newborn and Cardiac Care Units at The Moncton Hospital. Many donors committed to five-year pledges. $2,337,000 was received in 2019-20. 3 FRIENDS OF THE MONCTON HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, INC. Annual Report Year ended March 31, 2020 ANALYSIS: TOTAL REVENUE (Less Investment Income) The major categories of revenue as a percentage of total revenue (less investment income) for the years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019 are displayed above. 4 FRIENDS OF THE MONCTON HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, INC. Annual Report Year ended March 31, 2020 CHAIR'S MESSAGE To the Members of the Friends of The Moncton Hospital Foundation, Inc.: Because of you, thousands of patients in Moncton, and beyond, are receiving lifesaving care, the latest treatment options, powered by state-of-the art technology backed up by the very best medical expertise, in improved facilities. Together, we are advancing care for our friends, family and our community. Please take a few moments to review the tremendous impact donations in 2019 - 2020 have had at The Moncton Hospital. We have many philanthropic highlights to share thanks to our faithful donors. Our loyal donors were asked to give to the #Be the Difference 2019-2020 Annual Campaign to support sick kids and their families by funding the creation of a new Complex Care Suite in the Paediatric Department and for the purchase of an advanced ultrasound machine (first in New Brunswick) and probe that displays outstanding 3-D images of the kidneys on a high-resolution monitor during laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgery. There is no example more concrete about how community support can transform health care than the success of the Extraordinary Care Campaign (ECC) which raised $10.1 million, exceeding our goal by over $2 million. This marked the Foundation’s most ambitious campaign and one of the province’s largest healthcare campaigns. This amount, combined with the Province of New Brunswick’s multi‐million-dollar commitment, will allow for two critical areas at Horizon’s The Moncton Hospital to be brought into the twenty‐first century. The vision is to build two new state‐of‐the‐art areas of strength that will completely change the way health care is being delivered; with the creation of a Maternity and Newborn Unit (expected to break ground in 2020), and the relocation and expansion of the Cardiac Care Unit. We thank our ECC Campaign Chair, Robert K. Irving, and his team of 40 community volunteers for their unwavering commitment to meet, and then exceed, the challenging campaign goal. The annual Gifts for Life Society luncheon was held on August 15th to honour donors who have committed to making a planned gift to the Friends. The guest speaker was Dr. Patrick Phelan who spoke to the attendees about the work being doing in palliative care. We welcomed Deborah Watling and William (Bill) McRae as the newest Gifts for Life Society members. 5 FRIENDS OF THE MONCTON HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, INC. Annual Report Year ended March 31, 2020 CHAIR'S MESSAGE (continued) In addition to the generous gifts from individuals, corporations and community organizations over the past year, our numerous community-based events generated over $648,000, an increase of over $80,000 from the previous year. The 15th Annual Swing into Spring Gala held in May 2019, drew a large crowd who kicked up their heels to the Signal Hill Band and raised an impressive $110,000. Meanwhile, the 19th annual Taylor Ford Hit It Fore Health Golf Tournament at Royal Oaks in September was another outstanding success, reaching the $1 million raised milestone (over 19 years). This sold-out event yielded over $90,000 for the ECC. Also of note, in five years, the physician-led cycling fundraiser, NB Doctors Cycling Against Cancer, has raised over $330,000 to support cancer care for patients treated at the Dr. Sheldon H. Rubin Oncology Clinic and the in- patient unit. Steered by medical oncologist Dr. Mohammed Harb, 17 cyclists including TMH physicians, family, cancer survivors and pharmaceutical representatives, rode throughout the 500 kilometres around New Brunswick in a span of five days last June. Kudos to the Harrison Trimble High School Trojans who brought in $30,000, yet again raising the bar from last year as the most money generated in the history of the Trojan Trek. This student-led fundraiser, which to date has raised over $283,000 for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, continues to exemplify the community leadership of our youth. The 9th Annual C103 & New Country 96.9 Radiothon held January 25th set another fundraising level. The 2019 goal of $40,000 was surpassed, reaching over $60,000. For the

  • Waiting for Care in Canada: a Report on the State of Wait List Management for Hip and Knee Replacements from Provincial and Territorial Government Websites
    WAITING FOR CARE IN CANADA: A REPORT ON THE STATE OF WAIT LIST MANAGEMENT FOR HIP AND KNEE REPLACEMENTS FROM PROVINCIAL AND TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT WEBSITES By Jennifer Bernier, Kristen MacLellan and Barbara Clow For Women and Health Care Reform March 2010 Funding for this project was provided by the Gender and Health Unit, Health Canada through the Women’s Health Contribution Program. The views expressed herein do not necessarily represent the views of Health Canada. INTRODUCTION Substantial restructuring of Canada’s health care system in the late 1980s and early 1990s created real concern about the quality of health care, including timely access to care. Regionalization and privatization might have led to increased efficiencies – though this is far from an accepted or established position – but it had certainly increased the amount of time people spent waiting for diagnostic and treatment services. In 1997, Health Canada commissioned a number of projects designed to assess the state of wait time management and a preliminary report delivered a scorching critique. “With rare exceptions,” concluded the authors, “waiting lists in Canada, as in most countries, are non-standardized, capriciously organized, poorly monitored, and (according to most informed observers) in grave need of retooling” (McDonald, et al, 1998). Over the next few years, researchers and clinicians continued to draw attention to the need to understand and address lengthy waits for health care and in 2004, Canada’s First Ministers established an accord to reduce waiting times for key health care services, including diagnostic imaging, screening programs and radiation therapy for cancer, by-pass surgery for heart disease, total hip and knee replacements, and surgical removal of cataracts.

  • The Law of Stigma, Travel, and the Abortion- Free Island
    33.1 Columbia Journal of Gender and Law 29 THE LAW OF STIGMA, TRAVEL, AND THE ABORTION- FREE ISLAND JOANNA N. ERDMAN* In 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada decriminalized abortion in R. v.
