We Dedicate With deep respect and abundant gratitude, we dedicate this report to our donors. 2012-2013 Report to the Community 1 2 A Day in the life of the Royal Alexandra Hospital President & Chair’s Message Welcome to the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation’s 2012-2013 Annual Report. This year’s theme – A Day in the Life of the Royal Alexandra Hospital – showcases a typical day at our amazing and dynamic hospital. The Royal Alex is many things to many people, but first and foremost, it’s a place where hope and healing carry on 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We’re pleased to share some snapshots of the diverse activity – surgery, therapy, research, planning sessions, and more – that is made possible by strong community support. We hope that our donors and supporters will appreciate how much the Royal Alex offers to the 300,000 patients a year who seek treatment here and how your support plays an important role in building better patient care at our hospital. This year sees us embarking on new and exciting fundraising endeavours, including our We Deserve da Vinci and Inner City Health and Wellness campaigns. One of them will help bring the life-saving technology of the da Vinci Surgical System – already employed with great skill by the Royal Alexandra’s urology department – to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women. The other campaign is an innovative pilot program, aimed at better serving the healthcare needs of Edmonton’s most vulnerable citizens. On behalf of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation staff and its volunteer board of directors, thank you for your support over the past year. Sincerely, Hon. A. Anne McLellan, PC, OC Andrew Otway, CFRE Chair, President and CEO, Royal Alexandra Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation Hospital Foundation 2012-2013 Report to the Community 3 Lois Hole 4:32 Hospital for Women AM 4 A Day in the life of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Addy Wozny, RN Registered Nurse While most of the city is still sleeping, nurse Addy Wozny is starting her shift and checking on one of her patients in the Antepartum Unit at the Lois Hole Hospital for Women. “Today’s the day,” says Addy. “This patient is pregnant with twins and has spent the last several weeks with us. It’s been a long road, but this morning she’s going in for a caesarean section and will finally get to meet her beautiful babies.” The Lois Hole Hospital for Women is a national leader in the treatment of high-risk labour and deliveries, offering specialized care for complicated pregnancies and multiple births. In many cases, women will spend weeks and sometimes months in the hospital leading up to their delivery. “Many of these women come from out of town, so they miss their home and their families. I often tell my patients that as hard as this time is, it will all be worth it when their baby or babies finally arrive.” While living in a hospital is never easy, the Lois Hole Hospital for Women is designed as a place of beauty and comfort, with natural lighting and pleasant décor. The staff at the hospital makes an extra effort to create a positive atmosphere by hosting fun activities like group movie nights and monthly tea parties. “We really become like a little family in this unit,” says Addy. “When a woman has been with us for such a long period of time, she often bonds with our staff and the other pregnant moms who are going through a similar experience. At the end of the day, we’re all here for the same reason – to send healthy mothers and healthy babies home.” Leah Johnson-Coyle Patient “I was admitted to the Lois Hole Hospital for Women at 22 and a half weeks pregnant because I was going into pre-term labour. We were extremely worried because only a year earlier I had delivered twin boys at 23 weeks, and they did not survive long after birth. We had already experienced so much pain losing our boys – I couldn’t imagine going through it again. I spent nearly six weeks in the hospital because of my high-risk pregnancy. I’ll never forget how wonderful all the nurses and physicians were, and how they helped to reassure me that everything would be alright. I called the Lois Hole Hospital for Women home for those weeks, and the beautiful facility – especially the Ted and Lois Hole Healing Garden – made my stay so much easier. This was a stressful time but also a hopeful time. On August 20, 2012 Finley James and Molly June were born by cesarean section at four o’clock in the morning. Today we’re all healthy and doing great. Without the Lois Hole Hospital for Women, it could have been a very different outcome for our family. We will be forever grateful for the care we received.” 2012-2013 Report to the Community 5 Dr. Michael Hobart, MD, FRCS(C) Urologic Surgeon It’s still quiet in the polished hallways of the Royal Alexandra Hospital’s Diagnostic Treatment Centre as Dr. Michael Hobart prepares for his first surgery of the day, a laparoscopic prostatectomy, using the state-of-the-art da Vinci Robotic Surgical System. Dr. Hobart will sit at a console, getting a 3-D view of the inside of his patient as he guides the nimble robotic arms to carry out the operation. Rather than a large, painful surgery scar and weeks of recovery, Dr. Hobart’s patient will only have a few small incisions and be able to go home in a matter of days. The da Vinci Robotic Surgical System has been a real game-changer at the Royal Alexandra Hospital since it arrived in 2007. Since that time, skilled surgeons like Dr. Hobart have made the Royal Alex the busiest sector in Canada for robotic surgery. “The da Vinci gives us the ability to do meticulous procedures in a small space and then reconstruct the area that was operated on,” says Dr. Hobart. “It allows us to work with great precision, which is why the outcomes are so good. The volume of surgeries that we do at the Royal Alex is quite well known, and very reassuring to patients that go through our program.” In October 2012, the Campaign for Prostate Health celebrated the successful conclusion of its $30 million campaign It’s About Men, It’s About Time. A partnership between the Alberta Cancer Foundation, the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation, and the University Hospital Foundation, the Campaign for Prostate Health raised money for better clinical treatment, important new technology, and ground-breaking research. The campaign supported the creation of the C.J. Woods Prostate Health Clinic, a specialized, rapid-access facility that is part of a consolidated urology centre in the new Kaye Edmonton Clinic at the University of Alberta Hospital. “The advances we’ve seen in diagnosis and patient care for men dealing with prostate disease is very encouraging,” says Dr. Hobart. “The future of men’s health in Alberta is certainly looking a lot brighter.” Matteo Piscopo Patient “I had a couple of uncles who passed away from prostate cancer in their sixties, so I knew that I too would be at risk. Sure enough, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last summer. We caught it early, which was good. I went into surgery feeling pretty confident that the outcome would be positive, and we could beat the cancer. I had my robotic surgery in November, and experienced a really good recovery thanks to the da Vinci and the skill of my surgeon, Michael Hobart. I feel better than ever now. I tell a lot of friends about my experience, because I think it’s important to talk about prostate cancer. Us boys, we can be bullheaded! I give credit to my wife, who thankfully pushed me into getting checked. If it hadn’t been for early detection, I might have been a statistic.” 6 A Day in the life of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Diagnostic Treatment 7:36 Centre AM 2012-2013 Report to the Community 7 Dr. Carlos Eduardo Solarte, MD Assistant Clinical Professor, University of Alberta It’s just before 9:00 AM, but Dr. Carlos Solarte is already attending to his fourth appointment of the day. A patient with strabismus (misalignment of the eyes) has travelled from Northern Alberta for diagnosis and treatment.

    July 4, 2006 Newly completed Lois Hole Memorial Garden ready for visitors Edmonton...Albertans can now pay tribute to the late Lois Hole by visiting a new garden created in her memory on the grounds of the Alberta Legislature. The Lois Hole Memorial Garden was dedicated during a ceremony July 4 by the Honourable Norman L. Kwong, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta; Premier Ralph Klein and members of the Hole family. "Mrs. Hole was a dedicated public servant and a real champion of Alberta and Canada," said Lieutenant Governor Kwong.

In addition to serving as Lieutenant Governor, Mrs. Hole was a successful businesswoman, author, university chancellor and champion of many community projects. "We wanted to create a place that honours Lois Hole's memory and pays tribute to her passion for horticulture," said Premier Ralph Klein. "This garden adds to the beauty of the Legislature grounds and creates a wonderful haven to reflect on the life and accomplishments of a great Albertan." The Lois Hole Memorial Garden is located in the northeast corner of the Legislature's south grounds. The terraced garden features a bronze plaque with an inscription and a raised likeness of Mrs. Hole. The plaque is mounted on a boulder and set in a round seating plaza.
