Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation

We exist to enable the growth of Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital. Together, we can bring a lifetime of care closer to home.

Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike,
DONATE ONLINE at mshf.on.ca or CALL us at (905) 472-7059. We are a supportive hand for our community and our hospital, Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). MSH is one of Ontario’s leading community hospitals serving Canada’s most diverse population in one of its fastest growing regions. Caring for over 437,000 patients each year, with 354 beds, redeveloped facilities, excellent clinical programs and leading health technology, MSH proudly provides patient care that uniquely combines the scope of a large hospital with the warm and personal touch that only a community hospital can offer. MSH is honoured to care for the more than 450,000 residents of Markham, Stouffville, Uxbridge, Richmond Hill, eastern York Region, north Durham and north Scarborough. Government can’t fund all life-saving equipment and top priority needs. Generous donor support is the reason our growing and aging community can count on exceptional care close to home, today, and for generations to come.

Santa arrived at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) with a sleigh full of cheer — and a helping hand from the Markham Fire and Emergency Services team. Together, they delivered toys and cuddly bears to patients throughout the hospital. 🎅🧸

Thank you to our generous community for donating toys and supporting our Bear Necessities program. Your kindness helps make MSH feel a little brighter during the holiday season.

And a bear-y heartfelt thanks to Markham Fire and Emergency Services for volunteering your time and helping bring this special visit to life for patients and families.

This holiday season, Steven Fenster is celebrating moments he once feared he might lose. 💙

A sudden, unbearable pain sent Steven to the Emergency Department at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). While kidney stones were suspected, emergency physician Dr. Elizabeth P**n took extra care to look deeper, ordering one more test that revealed something unexpected. That decision led to an early cancer diagnosis and timely treatment that changed Steven’s life.

Thanks to that foresight and the care he received at MSH, Steven’s cancer was caught early and successfully treated. Today, he is eight years cancer-free and forever grateful to the doctors, nurses, and care teams who were there when he needed them most.

Your holiday gift helps make life-saving care possible for patients like Steven. Give today at https://bit.ly/49cOp9r.

For more than 35 years, Mark Lievonen has relied on trusted care close to home at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). When a routine screening led to a prostate cancer diagnosis, Mark received ongoing care, close monitoring, and treatment from the same hospital he had supported for decades.

As a former MSH Foundation Board Chair, he understands that donor support plays a vital role in ensuring patients receive the care they need.

“Many people do not realize that the government cannot fund everything,” Mark shares.

This holiday season, your generosity helps fund the equipment and technology MSH uses every day. Give the gift of more life moments and donate at https://bit.ly/4iXChxs..

Eric was recovering after surgery when everything suddenly changed. What began as a hopeful hospital stay quickly turned into a life-threatening emergency, with his blood pressure dropping to near-fatal levels.

When complications arose, the ICU team at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital acted quickly, providing the critical care that saved his life. Because of donor support, Eric received the testing, treatment and close monitoring he needed. Today, he is grateful for the care he received and proud to give back to the hospital that was there for him when it mattered most.

“Without donations, it makes it difficult for MSH to invest in the resources they need to save lives,” says Eric.

Your generosity helps ensure patients like Eric receive exceptional care, close to home.
