October is ?

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in Canada. Screening such as mammography can help identify cancer before symptoms appear. It’s easier than ever to book a mammogram.

Women, trans and non-binary people in Ontario can now get a mammogram through OHIP starting at the age of 40 instead of 50! This screening can be done every two years until the age of 74.

At MGH, we’ve expanded our Mammography Program’s hours of operation to offer appointments on some evenings and weekends.

Book your mammogram online at www.tehn.ca/mammography. You can also book your mammogram by emailing [email protected].

👋 Meet Princess, Registered Practical Nurse at MGH!

“There have been so many memorable moments throughout my time at MGH, from sharing conversations and laughter with patients to building meaningful connections with my colleagues.

“One moment that stands out was when our team came together to celebrate an important milestone for a patient during their hospital stay. Seeing the joy on the patient's face and watching everyone work together with such compassion reminded me that nursing is about so much more than clinical care.

“Moments like that reinforce how meaningful even the smallest acts of kindness can be. They continue to inspire me and remind me why I chose a career in nursing. I'm excited to create many more memories as I continue my journey at MGH.”

tells the stories of our people. Meet Aaron Di Nardo, Manager of Information Technology Services (ITS) at MGH.

“When people hear ‘IT,’ they often picture one broad umbrella, but there are several distinct teams working together under it to keep things running smoothly,” says Aaron.

“Our commitment is to ensure MGH staff have the technology and support they need to care for our patients and community.

“At one point, I thought I was going to become an entomologist! I suppose it’s fitting that now, as an ITS manager, part of the job is to work out the ‘bugs’ in our systems.”

In a new interview with Healthcare Insurance Reciprocal of Canada, MGH’s Dr. Jeff Powis, Medical Director of Infection Prevention and Control and Integrated Care at MGH and Medical Lead for Integrated Care and the East Toronto Health Partners talks about what made the recent collaborative PROMPT-LTC trial possible.

This trial explored whether bringing rapid respiratory testing directly into long-term care homes could help residents receive faster care and avoid unnecessary trips to hospitals. The trial was conducted by researchers from Humber River Health, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Baycrest, MGH and other academic partners.

In the interview, Dr. Powis shares how research is as much a process for continuous partnership and learning, and the successful trial raises new questions about what clinical direction to go in next.

Today, we welcomed Dr. James Makokis for a keynote address in recognition of Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Dr. Makokis spoke about decolonizing healthcare and promoting equitable, accessible healthcare and culturally sensitive approaches to Indigenous health, sharing his knowledge and perspective on the importance of culturally safer care and Indigenous health systems.

We thank Dr. Makokis for sharing his knowledge with our MGH community and everyone who joined us for this opportunity to listen, learn and reflect as we continue our journey toward truth and reconciliation.

Today, September 30, we recognize Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

We recognize the ongoing trauma and impacts of residential and day schools, and remember the lives lost, their families and the Survivors.

At MGH, we recognize that truth and reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility. We remain committed to listening, learning and working toward culturally safer, equitable care for First Nations, Inuit and Métis patients, families and communities.

Today and every day, we reflect on how we can continue to learn, build relationships and contribute to reconciliation.

This past Tuesday, hundreds of staff, donors, patients, partners and community members gathered on the new event lawn at MGH to mark the opening of the Coxwell Avenue entrance – the end of the most ambitious phase of redevelopment in our hospital’s history. 🎉

“East Toronto deserves a hospital that reflects the vibrancy and diversity of the people who call this neighbourhood home – and that’s what this is,” said Melanie Kohn, CEO and President of MGH.

Hospital and Michael Garron Hospital Foundation leadership thanked and celebrated the many people who made this eight-year journey possible and ceremonially planted a tree in the beautiful new green space to mark the moment. leadership thanked and celebrated the many people who made this eight-year journey possible and ceremonially planted a tree in the beautiful new green space to mark the moment.
