CAMPAIGN RESULTS TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
Sunnybrook trauma patient happy to be alive Suppor t our
closer to recovery. The number of injuries sustained alone makes
Garth’s case unusual. That they were all treated at one facility,
Sunnybrook, makes it exceptional.
“Without the air ambulance program and the trauma centre’s
amazing staff, my chances of survival would be next to nothing,”
explains Garth. “I had multiple injuries – many of them life
threatening. No other hospital could have handled that kind of
emergency.”
While Garth has healed amazingly well, he continues to require
the care of our multidisciplinary team of specialists.

Four years ago, Garth Holding and his wife Joanne were returning
from a shopping trip in Organeville when their SUV was struck by
another vehicle in a head-on collision. Joanne escaped with minor
cuts and bruises, but Garth sustained multiple life-threatening
injuries.
It took emergency crews two-hours to free Garth from the
wreckage. To save his life, he was airlifted to Sunnybrook’s John &
Liz Tory Trauma Centre for emergency surgery. Sunnybrook is part
of the provincial base for the Land and Air Ambulance Program;
the Tory Centre receives the majority of air ambulance transfers,
making it the first source for trauma care in the GTA and Ontario.
“Sunnybrook is equipped and staffed to handle difficult cases like
mine,” notes Garth. “The level of care offered to me would not
be possible without the support of the wonderful donors to the
Trauma, Emergency & Critical Care Program.”
Sunnybrook is doubling the current capacity of the trauma and
emergency department to offer our patients and their families
the greatest comfort and care. The expanded facility will provide
a technologically advanced environment for staff to perform their
lifesaving work.
