A letter from our Chair & CEO
We are very proud to share the highlights of another
tremendous year at the Saint John Regional Hospital
Foundation. Over and over, you have shown that
your generosity plays a critical role in the success
of health care in our region. As you read the stories
and information on the following pages, please know
YOU made this happen.
And your investment in health care couldn’t come at
a more critical time.
Our community is aware of the challenges facing our
health care system. However, as individuals, we are
also aware of the stories of incredible care provided
by the health care professionals here at the Saint
John Regional Hospital.
Just like you, both of our families have had our share
of broken bones, babies who arrived too early, heart
by-pass surgery and, unfortunately, cancer diagnosis
and treatment. Our parents, children, wives and
friends have been touched by the care of the New
Brunswick Heart Centre, the Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit, the Emergency Department, the Outpatient
Clinic, the Oncology Department and the list goes
on. We are both incredibly grateful to have a hospital
that is:
“Always on. Always
awake. Here, for you.”
The fact that this hospital has impacted both of our
lives so personally just adds additional fuel to our
resolve of growing and shaping the Foundation –
YOUR Foundation – to ensure that you can continue
to enhance this great hospital through philanthropy.
Although on the surface you may have recognized
some changes at our Foundation, our purpose
remains the same. We’re here because of your
generosity – just as we always have been. Together,
we will continue to transform local health care.
With sincere gratitude,
Jason Downey, Chair

So many
reasons to GIVE
The GIVE campaign is our annual province-wide
fundraising effort to support excellence and
innovation in health care equipment, mental health,
research, education and patient comfort at the
Saint John Regional Hospital.
While past campaigns focused on fundraising for
one particular area of the hospital or equipment
investments, we are now excited to tell the story of
how support from donors impacts all areas of care
at the Saint John Regional Hospital.
Each year, donations help:
• Purchase urgently needed medical equipment
• Fund research that directly affects patient care
•Ensure doctors and clinical staff are up to date
on the most important advances in medicine and
patient care
•Fund mental health programs and research across
the province
• Provide patients with better comfort
Help make sure our hospital is always
on, always awake – here for you
when you need it most
Over the years, we’ve heard countless stories from
grateful patients, who have received world-class –
and often life-saving – treatment at our Saint John
Regional Hospital. Support from our donors makes
this high quality care possible.
Thank you for your generosity.

Personalized medicine –
it’s about time

A community rally toward faster cancer test
results, targeted care & better patient outcomes
In February 2014, our Foundation launched the GIVE 2014 – Personalized
Medicine, a campaign to raise and donate $900,000 for state-of-theart equipment that will allow our hospital’s laboratory to identify and
diagnose cancers on-site.
Many of our current cancer pathology tests are sent off-site. This new
equipment will lower costs and reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment,
saving patients precious time.
We received donations from all over the province, and thanks to the
generosity of our great community of donors, the GIVE 2014 surpassed
the $900,000 target. We’d like to extend a very special note of thanks
to the John T. McMillan Jr. Memorial Foundation, the Dowd Family and
Dowd Roofing, and our campaign hero Gwenn Bartlett and her family for
their generous support of the GIVE 2014.
The laboratory is often the unsung hero of the hospital. At the Saint John
Regional Hospital, more than 200 laboratory doctors and technologists
work behind-the-scenes to provide the information needed to treat
patients. The molecular medicine program at the Saint John Regional
Hospital has been in development since 2005. It’s crucial work. And it
needs our support.
Hospital Home Lottery
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the thousands of New
Brunswickers who helped make our 2014 Hospital Home Lottery another
successful sell out.
Our 3rd Annual
Love Your Hospital
Radiothon raised
$179,980
for the GIVE 2014
Proceeds from our 2014 lottery were over $1,000,000 and are directed to
the area of highest and most urgent need within our hospital to support
the health and well-being of all New Brunswickers.
Employee Giving
A big thank you to the many generous hospital staff that support our
Foundation. Our health care staff value our hospital, and want to ensure
it continues to deliver leading-edge care to our entire province. That’s
why many have chosen to make regular contributions to our Foundation
through payroll deduction.
Together, we all support excellence and innovation in all areas of
health care.

Support for those who need
it most – in body and mind
The impact of a breast cancer diagnosis reaches far
beyond the physical.
During treatment, so much of a patient’s energy is focused
on their physical health that their mental and spiritual
needs can be overlooked.
That’s why Horizon Health Network created a 12-week
Breast Cancer Survivorship Program, a multi-disciplinary
program that increases awareness of breast cancer
patients’ mental health as they move through treatment
phases.
Dr. Margot Burnell is the Clinical Department Head of our
hospital’s Oncology Department. She says the survivorship
program takes a holistic approach to addressing patients’
needs by providing educational sessions on nutrition,
physiotherapy, spirituality, sexuality and psychological
discussions about the impact of malignancy – all areas
that patients and their advocates indicate are gaps in the
treatment process.
“Survivorship begins the moment a patient is diagnosed
and is an ongoing process from that day forward,” she
said. “Diagnosis not only impacts the lives of patients, but
also those around them – family, friends, colleagues, care
providers – due to changes in roles and routines, as well as
their anxiety and concern for their loved ones.”
Dr. Burnell explained that for patients dealing with breast
cancer diagnosis and treatment, it can be difficult to get
back to a normal lifestyle. And that’s exactly what this
program aims to help them do.
“For patients, the stress is extreme,” she said. “They’re not
only concerned about how they will physically respond to
their treatments, but also a number of practical, everyday
necessities like child care, house cleaning, missed work,
out-of-pocket expenses and more. Psychologically, they
are no longer as independent as they were before the
diagnosis – partners and family members must step up
to care for them. They’re dealing with a change of body
image – potentially losing hair and going through
a mastectomy – it’s a very emotional time.”
The program also involves a screening process to assess
what tools can be used to address patients’ mental health
needs. Next, because studies have shown that many
patients who undergo physiotherapy during treatments
benefit from the physical activity and feel better, the
program involves a physiotherapy component through
the YMCA.

Mental
Wellness
“The feedback to date has been excellent,” Dr. Burnell said.
“What began as a pilot program for breast cancer patients
is now being rolled out to other oncology patients.”
Thanks to $107,000 in funding from MindCare, they’re
now collecting the results they need to make the program
sustainable. Dr. Burnell thanks MindCare for helping to take
the program to the next level.
“I’ve been in this business for a long time and it’s very
rewarding to see how patients are reacting to this
program,” she said. “These patients are very courageous
and brave. Sometimes they just need help with the next
step of their treatment, so it means a lot if we can be a part
of providing that support.”
Healthy minds. Healthy lives.
This year, our Foundation’s MindCare
New Brunswick granted a total of
$357,000 in funding for mental health
programing throughout the province
of New Brunswick.

Our “Journey to Becoming
Truly Patient Centered”
Supporting professional and personal
development for those at the heart of
health care
A nurse’s job is multi-faceted. They are both the lead
clinical caregiver and the main point of contact for families
and caregivers.
It’s a fundamental and challenging role – one that often
goes uncelebrated.
But thanks to the support of our Foundation and a
committed team of volunteers, 170 nurses from the Saint
John Regional Hospital came together for two days of
networking and learning about one of our hospital’s new
strategic directions: the journey toward patient centered
care.
Brenda Kinney is Executive Director of the Saint John Area
with Horizon Health Network.
“Patient centered care is one of Horizon’s strategic
directions over the next five years,” Brenda said. “We as
nurses think that we provide patient centered care, and
that we’re advocates for patients, but we’re in a different
climate now with different expectations from patients
and families. A lot of our processes are actually provider
centered, so there are certainly things we can do to further
incorporate the patient and their family into the care.”
Sue Ness has a long history with Horizon Health Network,
once serving as Executive Director of Region 2 in Moncton.
Education
She was hired as lead facilitator of the “Our Journey to
Becoming Truly Patient Centered” conference.
“One participant in the conference said it best in their
evaluation: that patient centered care is not a project –
it’s a way of being,” Sue said. “When you’re a professional
providing care, you’re busy with lots of tasks – from
documentation to procedures and treatments – so we
tried to increase the understanding of what it looks like
from the other side of the bed rest.”
Sue says that part of the new reality nurses face is the
abundance of information now available to patients, largely
thanks to technology and the internet.
“Health care providers are expected to be on top of
best practices, and translating all of that information
and research into how we care for patients is a new
expectation,” she said.
Of the conference’s 120 participants who completed the
post-conference survey, 100% gave a positive response.
25% of participants described the experience as “very
good” while 75% said it was “excellent.”
Rosanne Thorne is our hospital’s Nurse Manager with
Internal Medicine.
“One participant said thank you for the past two days,
because it reminded her why she became a nurse,” she
said. “Everyone who attended those two days felt valued as
a nurse, as an employee, because we had acknowledged
them for what they were already bringing to the
workplace. And it wouldn’t have happened without the
generosity of the Foundation.”
“Any nurse naturally puts the patient at the forefront,”
said Patti Gallagher, a Clinical Nurse Specialist in
Neurosciences. “The key part is to acknowledge that for
the nurses that are present, these values are near and dear
to their hearts. This conference was an opportunity for
them to share and shine – it was nourishment for their
nursing souls. It reinvigorated them.”

In case of emergency,
rely on world-class research
The ER.
One way they’ve managed to continue their work has
been through funding from the Saint John Regional
Hospital Foundation. The Foundation recently donated
funds to cover half the salary of a Research Coordinator
for two years.
It’s a place no one wants to visit, but at some point in our
lives, nearly all of us will.
Luckily, there are highly trained specialists tasked with
finding ways to keep our emergency departments
running as efficiently and effectively as possible, all while
maintaining a focus on people.
“Without that contribution, we wouldn’t have been able to
get off the ground,” Dr. Atkinson said. “The Foundation was
pivotal to getting this program going, and it will be pivotal
to keeping it going in the future.”
Dr. Paul Atkinson is one of those people. He is the
Research Director at the Saint John Regional Hospital’s
Department of Emergency Medicine.
During his tenure at the hospital, the department has made
some significant advances in its work – including the
publication of more than 20 peer-reviewed articles and
recognition through a handful of national and international
research awards.
But while the research is important, Dr. Atkinson says it’s
even more important to ensure the research links back to
improvements in clinical care – inside the ER itself.
The Foundation has also funded the acquisition of new
simulation equipment for Dr. Atkinson’s research team,
which one team member used to win another national
research award.
Dr. Atkinson says that when someone donates to research
through the Foundation, that funding supports projects
that improve the skillset of physicians working in the
hospital’s ER, treating that very donor’s neighbours, friends,
even family.
“Pretty much everyone uses the ER at some point in their
life, and we’re here to make sure people get the best, most
efficient and high quality care possible, every single visit.”
“We’ve shown that research is relevant to the care our
doctors and nurses provide. It really can improve the way
they treat patients,” he said. “It doesn’t happen instantly,
but we’re also not talking 20 years down the road. Real
change can happen in just two or three years.”
Learn more at sjrhf.ca/research.
One of Dr. Atkinson’s recent projects – which he coauthored with Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick student,
James Milne – won a national award, putting the research
team on the radar of the best emergency medicine
researchers on the planet.
Meanwhile, a difficult reality Dr. Atkinson and his research
team faces is the constant search for funding to support
their work.
“Some of our major funding sources have dried up in
recent years, so our work is threatened by budget cuts,”
he said.
Dr. Paul Atkinson
In 2014, we awarded over $250,000 in
scholarships to New Brunswick Medical
Students. Our winners may study at the
university of their choice, but after graduation,
they will return and practice in New Brunswick.
We’re investing in the future of health care in
New Brunswick – one doctor at a time.

Helping patients live their
lives, in their space
Extra Mural Program provides holistic
circle of care
Known by many as the “hospital without walls,” the New
Brunswick Extra Mural Program (EMP) works to prevent
hospitalization and, when hospitalized, helps get patients
discharged and safely home.
It’s a vitally important piece of our health care system,
because for many patients, being able to receive treatment
at home makes all the difference.
Danny Jardine is Therapeutic Services Manager with the
Extra Mural Program. His team covers six disciplines:
social work; respiratory therapy; occupational therapy;
physiotherapy for mobility, safety and independence;
dietary needs and speech language pathology.
“With our aging population and demographic shift, we’re
seeing many more seniors with health issues and chronic
diseases,” Danny said. “We help them manage that in their
home environment instead of the hospital. And that’s
important, because let’s face it, people would rather be at
home.”
The EMP’s standard services are funded by Horizon Health
Network. But for services that go beyond the basics, there
is the Saint John Regional Hospital Foundation.
“Technology is starting to have an impact, and that’s a
big role the Foundation plays – to help us purchase key
tools for staff,” Danny said. “We recently purchased a new
pressure mapping system to help prevent bed sores or
wounds. It’s already relieving pressure for those clients.”
Patient
Comfort
“It’s all about helping transition people back to normal
life,” Colleen said. “They are able to be in the comfort of
their own home, where things are familiar. That way, their
condition or treatment isn’t such a disruption in their lives.”
The EMP works with numerous community partners – in
social development, mental health, public health, veterans’
affairs, homecare agencies, hospital services and more.
Andre Jobe-Mackenzie is another EMP team leader. She
says providing this holistic approach to health care at
home is not only good for the system, it’s best for the
patient too.
“It’s better for them health-wise to be at home,” she said.
“It helps keep families and spouses together. When a
spouse is missing, that feeling of safety is often missing
too. It results in a less clinical, more personal type of care.”
The demands on EMP services grow each year. Saint John
is the biggest EMP unit in the province, with more than
100,000 cases from more than 7,000 patients in 2013.
Andre says the EMP often uses funding from the Saint
John Regional Hospital Foundation for education, which
is crucial to the team’s ability to provide world-class
service.
“The staff is the heart of the program – the face and the
front-line,” Andre said.
“We just manage the work, but they’re the ones doing this
vital work in the community,” Danny added. “They certainly
deserve our support.”
He says there’s also a broader cost implication, when
considering the value of the EMP.
“From a provincial perspective, it’s cheaper to keep people
at home too,” he said. “Each dollar invested in community
care goes directly into care – there’s no overhead. I’d say
that’s a great impact.”
Colleen Smith is a Manager with the Extra Mural Program.

Every “shingle” dollar counts
Bruce Dowd is a Saint Johner, born and raised, and he
knows what it means to give back to his community.
Growing up in a family of eight children, he and his siblings
were no strangers to the local hospital – and the hospital
was always there for them when they needed care.
As he took the reigns of his family business, Dowd Roofing
Inc., Bruce saw the need to give back to the hospital – and
community – that had given he and his family so much.
“I think it’s an obligation for businesses to give back,” he
said. “This community and our customers have been so
good to us, so we want to do our little part.”
Bruce says he’s impressed by the spectrum of worldclass care being provided at our hospital, but of
particular interest to him is the stem cell research work of
Dr. Comeau. He attended school with the physician’s
father and says he wants to contribute to further building
this expertise in Saint John.
Bruce’s contributions to our hospital have been incredibly
generous – not only in their own right, but in the way
they have encouraged others to give through his habit
of matching donations. This year, he helped kick-off the
GIVE 2014 campaign with a leadership gift of $125,000
which was matched by the John T. McMillan Jr. Memorial
Foundation. He then matched proceeds of the 3rd Annual
Love Your Hospital Radiothon, bringing the day’s total
to $179,980 – enough to successfully close the year’s
campaign.
For Bruce, a well-equipped local hospital means patients
can receive the care they need without having to travel
elsewhere. For many, healing near home and family is
the best medicine, and he firmly believes that everyone
deserves that comfort during times of illness.
Bruce is humble about the difference he’s made within our
hospital, and says he plans to keep giving.
“We want to do what’s right, and when the time comes,
we’ll be there again.”
“We all live here and we all need care here,” he said.
“The hospital staff have built a great facility with
wonderful care and expertise here in Saint John, and
we need to support it.”
