  • Performance. Purpose. Passion
    Performance. Purpose. Passion. BLUEWATER HEALTH 2012 – 2013 ANNUAL REPORT A Message from Stéphane Thiffeault, Chair, and Sue Denomy, President and CEO When we reflect on the past year at Bluewater Health in Sarnia and Petrolia, three specific words come to mind: Performance; Purpose; and Passion. With the building and renovation of our Sarnia facilities completed, and facility renewal in Petrolia underway, the stage was set for the next phase in our journey to exemplary healthcare experiences for patients and families every time, and these three words reflect so much of what we have achieved. In the midst of challenging economic times and an ever-changing healthcare landscape, we have much to be proud of in the fiscal year 2012/2013. Our performance continues to improve in a number of our key measures. We launched our Performance + Transformation System, and the results to date have been very encouraging. Wait times have decreased for cancer surgeries. We commissioned our new MRI, which has resulted in a decrease in wait times for that service as well. Our stroke care was recognized at a national convention. And our performance in the Emergency Department places ours in the top six EDs in the province. These performance indicators - and more - are available on our website. Bluewater Health, like all hospitals in Ontario, has had to adjust to changes in healthcare. This past year, we underwent a process to align our purpose with the expectations outlined by the province, and our community, which culminated in a new strategic plan. Bluewater Health was selected by the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario as a candidate in its very prestigious Best Practice Spotlight Organization initiative.

  • Cancer Care at Bluewater Health
    Dr. Ketan Ghate, Dr. Ken Yoshida, Dr. Evan Lilly Cancer Care at Bluewater Health The cancer program at Bluewater Health has a long history of providing high-quality care. We work closely with our own diagnostic departments and specialists along with the Regional Cancer Centers in Windsor and London to ensure all appropriate services and referrals are available to our patients. For cancer surgeries overall, Bluewater Health saw 100% of patients within the provincial target for both time to first cancer surgical appointment and time from decision to cancer surgery, compared to 93% and 91% respectively for Ontario hospitals on average. I am very pleased we were able to expand our oncology services by recruiting an additional medical oncologist, Dr. Ketan Ghate, to join Dr. Ken Yoshida in providing specialized cancer care in Sarnia. Dr. Evan Lilly is a family physician with special interest in both oncology and palliative care who works in our cancer program as well. The program also includes specialized oncology nurses, a patient navigator, and other hospital supports to help our patients. Patients get the benefit of many experts, without having to travel to another city, or potentially delay treatment while waiting for a second opinion. Our physicians participate in team reviews with our regional partners in London and Windsor. Experts in medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, nursing, and other specialists as needed come together to provide second opinions on testing and decide on the best treatment plan. When someone hears they have cancer, it’s very important they receive support and timely care.
