We Are Grateful For You
Behind every number is a story, and these are just some of the numbers that capture the impact you had on Niagara Health this past year. They represent the thousands of people and lives your donations have touched. Each of them has their own story – one that would have gone very differently if it weren’t for you.
At a time of fear, hope, or pain, they had a local hospital to turn to; a place that, because of you, is equipped with the tools that healthcare workers need to help our loved ones. We are sharing this report with you today because we are immensely grateful for you.
Because of you, our team in Women and Babies was equipped to bring 3,484 babies into this world.
Because of you, our Diagnostic Imaging team was able to perform 19,198 MRI scans to help diagnose and treat patients here in our region.
Because of you, 82,824 cancer patients could get treatment close to home.
When you see these and many other numbers and stories in this gratitude report, we invite you to take a moment to reflect on your part in their journeys. Your gifts have made an incredible difference for so many people in our community, and we are grateful for you.
Thank you for your unwavering support.
With gratitude,

Andrea Scott

Thank You for Bringing Life-saving Equipment to Our Local Hospitals

Scopes for Endoscopy
The Gastroenterology team performs up to 100 endoscopic procedures each day.
Because of you, the entire fleet of scopes and monitors has been replaced.
“The equipment is cutting-edge and we are lucky to have these new tools,” says Dr. Neel Malhotra, Head of Service of Gastroenterology. “I want to thank our Niagara Health Foundation donors so much for improving the quality of care for patients in the region.”
$119,302 WAS RAISED FOR Six new SCOPES

hematology Analyzers
Because of you, Niagara Health replaced aging laboratory equipment with brand-new Hematology Analyzers last year.
“These are the best analyzers on the market,” says Senior Medical Laboratory Technologist Myuran Sivarajah, who is grateful for the new equipment. “Doctors make major decisions based on lab results, so having a laboratory that can provide accurate results in a timely fashion significantly impacts patient care.”
$757,980 WAS RAISED FOR three HEMATOLOGY ANALYZERS

Cardiorespiratory Monitors
As Niagara’s population grows, so does the need for neonatal and pediatric care, says Laura Harsevoort, Manager for Niagara Health’s Children’s Health and Neonatal Intensive Care Units.
Because of you, these units received 10 new state-of-the-art cardiorespiratory monitors this year.
Harsevoort and her team are grateful for you. “The generosity of Niagara Health Foundation donors has enabled us to buy this life-saving equipment.”
$119,302 WAS RAISED FOR Six new SCOPES

SURGICAL C-armS
Niagara Health also purchased two new surgical C-Arms this year. They are specialized real-time medical imaging devices.
“We are grateful for all donors who support this work. The new equipment will benefit thousands of patients,” says Susan Kinnear, Manager of Diagnostic Imaging.
Because of you, these units will increase Niagara Health’s capacity and decrease wait times for surgical interventions.
$512,501 WAS RAISED for Two NEW SURGICAL C-ARMS

hematology Analyzers
Because of you, Niagara Health has replaced an aging linear accelerator at our Walker Family Cancer Centre, and a second one is currently being installed.
“Our team of highly skilled professionals is dedicated to delivering safe and effective cancer care,” says Dr. Adrian Ishkanian, Physician Lead, Radiation Medicine at WFCC.
“This technology allows them to do what they do best – provide compassionate and high-quality treatment for patients.”
$6,944,897 WAS RAISED FOR two new LINEAR ACCELERATORs

Patient Beds
Our Complex Care Units play a crucial role at Niagara Health. Because of you, 13 beds and mattresses have been replaced for these units.
“I want donors to know that their gifts make a huge difference,” says Alex Janus, Registered Nurse at Port Colborne’s Complex Care Unit.
“These new beds improve the patient experience and are easier and more ergonomic for our staff to use. Thank you so much!”
$183,885 WAS RAISED FOR 13 NEW BEDS
