Dr. Melanie Fortune and Jodi Lee were presented with Guardian Angel pins by Erin and her family.

“I am so incredibly grateful to Dr. Fortune for her care in both our sons' births but especially during my first son's birth. When things started going wrong during labour, Dr. Fortune was incredibly kind and calm, explaining what she was doing and what they were monitoring. When things really took a turn, Dr. Fortune's quick decision making, and expertise ensured my son was born immediately and alive. I can't thank her enough for her actions and care, even postpartum as recovery continued to be difficult. Also, for being present for the birth of our second son, going above and beyond when she wasn't even supposed to be working at the time. Her support and kindness in the hospital and in the community will forever stay with me. Almonte is incredibly fortunate to have her!”

“After a very difficult birth, postpartum was full of many complications. Jodi immediately noticed when I returned a few days later for a follow up that something was wrong. She quickly requested what was required and reassured me every step of the way. I'm grateful for her attentiveness, patient advocacy and ensuring I understood what was going on in terms I understood. Having Jodi as my nurse for almost 2 weeks straight, I always looked forward to the morning in such a dark time, hearing her laugh and knowing she was on her way to check in on me. Without Jodi, I don't believe things would have been as quickly red flagged and will forever be grateful for her.”

Erin also thanked the entire obstetrics team, Dr. Yacoub, Dr. Matei, Dr. Fadare, Dr. Awaad, Dr. Stewardson, as well as Dr. Tiffany, all the anesthesiologists and surgery teams, nurses Jodi, Rosie, Grace, Lisa, Jess, Dina, Hope, Olivia, Cheri, Beth and all the others that provided such compassion and support.

“And thank you to the housekeeping team, the maintenance team, the food services team and to everyone else that keeps our hospital going, thank you!”

Mississippi Mills Fire Dept

Our community is truly blessed to have incredible first responders that are second to none. Today we want to share some love to our friends from the Mississippi Mills Fire Dept. Not only do they protect our community by saving lives, homes and all the things we all hold close to our hearts, but they also go above and beyond that every day! Whether it's hosting pancake breakfasts, inviting Santa to meet the kids or supporting our local Civitan Clubs through various fundraisers, they are always opening their doors and hearts to many that need support within our community.

The Mississippi Fire Dept. came together to help us put the FUN in FUNdraise by participating in the AGH Run for Women's & Newborn Health by not only fundraising, but by exceeding their fundraising goal and walking 5K in full gear! They brought even more fun by bringing a firetruck to the AGH Run for the families to enjoy. We are inspired by their many acts of compassion and incredibly grateful to call them friends.

Kristin was nominated anonymously for a Guardian Angel Pin by a fellow staff member at the Almonte General Hospital.

As the staff member was doing her daily rounds she noticed Kristin.

“I thought it was a family member at first sitting there with the patient. Kristin just stayed there rubbing her back and giving beautiful support and care.

Kristin took the time to allow a patient to vent and sat on the side of the patient’s bed to listen and talked so calmly to the patient.”

The staff member thought it was very important that Kristin got recognized and appreciated for the little things that mean so much to others.

A huge thank you to the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Hockey U12 AA team for spending the evening with residents at Fairview Manor, playing bingo and bringing smiles to all those in attendance. This team was so generous with their time, and even gifted Fairview Manor a new bingo machine and cards so that they can continue to have their weekly bingo! Thank you all so much for your care and kindness.

Jason Lee (Lee Plumbing)

Jason Lee has been a wonderful friend and supporter of your Foundation, volunteering many hours to the AGH Run for Women's & Newborn Health. For years he has woken up bright and early to lay out (and pick up) pylons, barricades and markers for our runners/walkers. He has even made it a family affair, working alongside his son Spencer, instilling the importance of lending a hand when you can for your community. Jason's dedication to this community and hospital is wonderful to witness, and we are so grateful to him, and Spencer, for their muscle, caring spirit and heart.

We get many calls to the AGH-FVM Foundation office nominating people for a Guardian Angel pin. One of our most recent ones truly made us take pause.

We received a call from a gentleman named Ernie, excited after he had read an article in the paper about our Guardian Angel Program. He wanted to nominate everyone who worked at Fairview Manor. With great surprise we said, “You want to nominate everyone?”

“YES, I want to nominate every single person who works at Fairview Manor for a Guardian Angel Pin! Everyone has gone so far out of their way to make me a better and happier person!”

Affectionately known as “King Ernie”, Ernie has been a resident of Fairview Manor for eight years. It was an easy decision for him to choose to come and live at the Manor. It was located close to his friends and many of those friends already had relatives living there.

Ernie quickly felt at home enjoying all the recreation programming provided by the “Rec Crew”, immersing his life into Fairview Manor. After a long career in the music industry, Ernie especially enjoys the musical entertainment and often makes recommendations for new and upcoming acts to perform for the residents.

Almost immediately after moving into the Manor, Ernie was asked to be the President of the Residents Council, a group that aims to meet the needs of all the residents. Taking great pride in his role, Ernie is proud to be the face of other residents who can contact him for any concerns.

Truly thankful to past and present staff members at Fairview Manor who made a positive impact on him over the years, Ernie has immense gratitude to the dietary, laundry, cleaning and maintenance staff who help him, and each resident, every day.

“They are A-Okay with me! It’s the highlight of my day to be able to chat with so many remarkable staff.”

The many volunteers at the Manor also deserve a Guardian Angel. According to Ernie, each volunteer is special - they work hard and always have good jokes to tell.

“The nurses and doctors and all staff are incredible people who reach out everyday to care for me. They have been very good for me.”

The holiday season can be a stressful time for staff who must be away from their own family’s holiday celebrations; they should know they are appreciated and valued. So, as a symbol of all they do, all the care and love they provide our residents and their families, “King Ernie” is naming every member of the Fairview Manor team a Guardian Angel.

We are so thankful for the incredible number of our staff who are being recognized for their efforts and nominated for Guardian Angel Pins.

Everyone is deserving but it's extra special to present a Guardian Angel pin to someone who was so happy and honoured to be nominated.

Surrounded by staff of several departments of the Hospital, Jarrett Kinross was presented his Guardian Angel Pin.

Jarrett was nominated because "from cardboard to infrastructure - Jarrett is the behind the scenes GO TO GUY for the Mississippi River Health Alliance and is always appreciated by his team members for his efforts!"

Congratulations Jarrett!
