REPORT OF THE CHAIR JANUARY 2012 OPEN SESSION REPORT

New Year Greetings 2011 proved to be a year of great challenges, opportunities and accomplishments at HSN. In the past twelve months we both honoured our past and charted a new course for our future. We launched new innovative programs, increased our research activities, saw groundbreaking surgical procedures performed, and recruited record numbers of health care providers, all while providing vital front-line care to our patients. This year will see us continue to expand the range of services we provide. We will increase our research and teaching activities, and make further strides in our goal to provide effective, efficient and timely care in a manner that is transparent and accountable to all of our stakeholders. I look forward to many more successes at HSN this year, thanks to the quality of our people and the strength and support of our community.

REPORT OF THE CEO JANUARY 2012 OPEN SESSION REPORT HSN Employees Honoured by Greater Sudbury Police Service Congratulations to HSN nurses Jill Riva-Patey and Debbie Casera who were honoured for their community service at this years Greater Sudbury Police Services Board Annual Awards Banquet. They both received Police Assistance Awards for their roles in helping victims of two separate vehicle collisions this past year. Jill Riva-Patey is a Registered Nurse who is the Manager of CQI, Risk Management and Special Projects in the Mental Health and Addictions Program at HSN. She has been an employee at HSN for 20 years. Debbie Casera is a Registered Nurse and the Clinical Leader of the Functional Assessment and Outcome Unit at the Sudbury Outpatient Centre of HSN. She has worked at HSN for 32 years. Were very honoured to have Ms. Riva-Patey and Ms. Casera as part of the HSN family. HAVEN Program Celebrates 20th anniversary this month This month, the HAVEN Program is celebrating its 20th anniversary. HAVEN (HIV/AIDS Extended Network) provides clinical care, counselling, and social support to people with HIV/AIDS. Since HAVEN started in 1992, it has helped over 800 patients with HIV/AIDS. Congratulations to the multidisciplinary team at HAVEN, and we look forward to its ongoing success. Good Catch Recognition Program The Good Catch Recognition Program is a pilot project running from December 1st, 2011 to February 29th, 2012. The program aims to encourage the reporting of Good Catches throughout the organization allowing us to create a culture of learning and continuous improvement. A Good Catch is defined as an event or situation that could have resulted in an accident, injury, illness or damage to a patient, client, visitor, staff or physician. To date, the program is already beginning to show results. In the month of December, there were more good catches reported than in any previous month. These good catches have provided us the opportunity to put corrective actions in place to prevent any harm to patients and staff. KICX For Kids Campaign In 2011, HSN launched a five-year campaign with radio station KICX 91.7 FM to raise $250,000 for our Family and Child Program and Pediatric Centre of Excellence. The first goal of the KICX For Kids campaign is to raise funds to purchase three new ventilators in our Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit. The KICX For Kids campaign enjoyed a successful holiday season, with such promotions as an all-day on-air auction and fund-raising giftwrapping booth at the New Sudbury Centre. Staff Food Drive Through the efforts of many willing staff members who volunteered their time to make this time of year a little brighter for their colleagues, the HSN family was able to collect, package and deliver over 400 food boxes to confidentially identified staff members in need. I would like to thank our staff and physicians for their continued generosity and to the many other programs and services who held their own food and toy drives to help their patients and clients in need.
