🏥When every second counts, having the right equipment can be the difference between life and death.💙 In South Huron Hospital’s Emergency Department, our team often faces critical moments—patients struggling to breathe, severe trauma cases, cardiac arrests. In these situations, securing an airway quickly is essential.

That’s why a Video Laryngoscope (GlideScope) is so important. This advanced tool gives doctors and nurses a clear view of the airway, making intubation faster, safer, and more successful—especially in emergencies where time is everything. Patients needing Video Laryngoscopy range from children with smaller airways, to very ill or frail patients, to accident victims...whatever the case, emergency intubation is challenging, so equipping our medical staff with the right tools ensures they can provide the best possible chance for each patient in respiratory distress.

🤲TODAY IS GIVING TUESDAY- PLEASE HELP US FULFILL OUR GIVING TUESDAY GOAL!🙏

Thanks to a generous annual donor (a shy one), a new Video GlideScope is already on its way; BUT we urgently need your help to raise $5,000 for a second portable unit. This life-saving tool ensures intubation can happen anywhere in our hospital and also travels with patients during transfers.

Your gift today will help save lives tomorrow. Thank you for being part of our mission.

❤️This Giving Tuesday, we’re making a bold statement: the charity and non-profit sector isn’t just important—it’s the heartbeat of our communities and the most vital business sector in the world! In honour of , read our article below, highlighting the latest trends in Canadian charitable giving. 👇🤓

Giving Tuesday is an International Movement following Black Friday and Cyber Monday, encouraging people around the world to remember charity during this time of year. At South Huron Hospital Foundation, we want to spread the word that NO GIFT IS TOO SMALL, and in fact, each gift made to SHHF has an exponential impact each and every time a patient is provided with care. We believe that the Charity and Non-Profit sector is one of the most vital business industries in the world. Imagine our communities without charity... it's a scary thought.

Canadians donate around $13 billion per year currently, but this is a drop from 2013 when giving peaked at $16 billion. While 60% of Canadians give monetarily in some way, only 17% of Canadians claimed charitable gifts on their income tax in 2023 (source: Imagine Canada).

Most Canadian donors give around $390/year to various charities. If 60% of Canadians were able to donate even $200/year- that would increase charitable gifts in Canada by $3.5 billion/year!

We realize not everyone in Canada is in the position to donate $200/year; but, looking deeper into international statistics demonstrates that places like Indonesia, Singapore, Egypt, and China are leading the world in their philanthropic behaviours and actions, with the vast majority of citizens donating about 2.5% of their annual income, whereas Canadians give on average 0.5% of their annual income. Also, in more philanthropic countries, generally 70-90% of citizens donate monetarily to charity, while Canada reports under 60% of the population donating to charity.

Canadians need to know that no gift is too small. Small gifts multiply quickly! And, monthly giving is a fantastic way to grow your impact as a donor, while making your gifts more affordable.

💙This Giving Tuesday, the South Huron Hospital Foundation expresses sincere appreciation to our dedicated donors! We have the best of the best!💙

We also encourage Canadians to choose a charity or two and start a monthly gift of $10. Be part of something special. We can guarantee that your $10 will go a lot further than you might imagine.

Happy Giving Tuesday, and Blessed Holiday Season to All.

Krista McCann, Executive Director, South Huron Hospital Foundation.

Holiday Health Tip: December often brings more gatherings with family, friends, and coworkers. If you’re not feeling well, it’s best to skip the event and send your well-wishes. If your symptoms have improved, take a few precautions such as wearing a mask and washing your hands often. Let’s keep the season joyful and safe for everyone.

Holiday Health Tip: The winter months bring shorter days and longer nights, and during the busy holiday season it can be easy to feel low on energy. Step outside for a few minutes of daylight whenever you can. It boosts your mood, helps regulate sleep, and provides a healthy dose of vitamin D. Even a quick walk can make a big difference.

With respiratory virus season upon us, we are implementing enhanced masking measures in clinical areas across the hospital. These steps are designed to protect our most vulnerable patients and help keep our frontline healthcare teams healthy throughout the season.

Here’s what you need to know:

- Family caregivers and visitors are expected to mask in patient rooms.
- Masks continue to be required for everyone entering the ED and in the ED waiting room.
- Masks are highly recommended in all other outpatient areas.
- Anyone with respiratory symptoms who cannot postpone their visit must wear a mask for their entire time in the hospital.

Thank you for doing your part to keep our community safe.

On Remembrance Day, we honour the brave men and women who served our country, those who gave their lives, and those who returned forever changed. Their sacrifice reminds us not only to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy, but also to uphold the values they fought for and to contribute positively to our communities.

Remembering matters. Every poppy worn, every two-minute silence, and every ceremony observed connects us to our past and strengthens our commitment to future generations.

This week, we’re celebrating our incredible team of Medical Radiation Technologists, the skilled professionals who help capture the images that make diagnosis and treatment possible.

We’re resharing a video from earlier this year featuring Spring, our Senior Medical Radiation Technologist, who has been a core member of our team for over 30 years. For Spring, working at the hospital is more than just a job, it’s part of her family’s story. She shares what inspired her to follow in her family’s footsteps and what continues to make the work meaningful to her.

We’re so grateful for the expertise and commitment our MRTs bring to their work, and for the kindness and care they show to every patient they meet.
