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 fac

ilities, 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.

What began with a moment of concern she couldn’t ignore quickly became a life-changing diagnosis for Stacy DiPasquale.

At Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital, she was guided with a care team that moved with speed and care in her breast cancer treatment, making sure she felt supported and informed from the very beginning.

“When you're going through all this, there's so many tests, follow-ups, and blood work. It can get exhausting. To have staff that you're looking forward to seeing makes it that much better.""

As her treatment continues, Stacy finds strength in the people around her and in the moments that help her hold on to a sense of normal.

We are celebrating Anita Mah, Senior Development Officer, as she steps into a well earned retirement after 10 years with Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation.

A true force behind our fundraising efforts, Anita is a tireless champion for our hospital, leaving an impact that will be felt for years to come. Her passion for fundraising shines in the way she connects with donors and the care she shows for the people behind every gift.

She brought heart to every conversation and opportunity, building meaningful relationships across our community — including a strong and lasting connection within the Chinese community that continues to inspire support for care close to home.

Thank you, Anita, for the dedication and care you share so generously with donors, colleagues, and our community. Your drive, warmth, and integrity has shaped so much of our work, and many of us have learned from the pride and purpose you brought to our team every day.

Wishing you a retirement filled with joy, rest, trips to Italy, and plenty of time with your family and your cat. Your Foundation family will always be cheering you on with deep gratitude and appreciation. 💙

Some connections carry you through everything. 💙

For Terry Silimanis, his cancer care journey is shaped not only by the treatment he receives, but by the constant presence of his sister, Elaine Makos.

Whether it was rushing to the Emergency Department in the middle of the night or sitting beside him during chemotherapy, Elaine is a steady presence Terry can always count on.

Their bond is rooted in trust, humour, and a shared desire to uplift the spirits of others. “We’re made from the same mold,” Terry says. Through every challenge, it’s this connection that continues to make the difficult moments easier.

A special bond worth recognizing on National Siblings Day.
