It’s an innovative treatment that returns a
heart patient to doing what he loves.
It’s a breast cancer diagnosis within 24 hours
because time is of the essence.
It’s having brain surgery and going home the
very next day.
It’s getting back on your feet, and getting
back to normal, when all hope seemed lost.
This is Sunnybrook. Life happens here.

2 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
We often speak of our
vision to invent the
future of health care.
This vision pushes us to continually strive
to advance what’s possible – to conduct
the research that leads to life-saving care
for patients here in our community and
around the world. It means we think of
care in new ways, build state-of-the-art
spaces and acquire the most advanced
equipment to match the world-class
skills of our experts.
But this future is not years away, a distant
dream that may never be reached. The
treatments of tomorrow are happening
right now, right here at Sunnybrook.
This future is found in our reconstructed
and expanded Schulich Heart Centre,
opened in the fall of 2011. This is just one
of two sites in Canada where doctors
repair faulty mitral valves without opening
the chest. Last year alone, 100 lives
were saved by donor-funded, minimally
invasive procedures pioneered at
the centre.
The future is in our renovated and
expanded Chemotherapy Unit and
Gloria Odette Pharmacy, officially
opened in June 2012. Our chemotherapy
space allows us to treat patients in a
comfortable and nurturing environment,
while meeting the increasing need from
the community. Our expanded cancer
pharmacy provides room for one-on-one
service, as well as additional capacity
to support our breakthrough chemo-
therapy trials.
Thanks to a $10-million gift from Frederick
Thompson, we established the Frederick
W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre.
Our focus on obsessive compulsive
disorder care and research is found
nowhere else in Canada.
This spring, we opened the Louise
Temerty Breast Cancer Centre earlier
than planned because of a landmark
$10-million gift from Jim and Louise
Temerty. The largest and most advanced
facility of its kind in Canada, the centre
will put our breast cancer experts at
the forefront of research, pioneering
new treatments, advancing imaging
technologies, and improving prevention
of the disease.
In November 2012, we opened the
Centre for Research in Image-Guided
Therapeutics. Made possible through
support from generous donors and
a $75-million grant from the federal
government’s Canada Foundation for
Innovation, this $160-million centre
will advance every stage of research,
from studying basic cell biology to
designing therapies based on the
makeup of that cell, to testing those
therapies preclinically and, finally, in
patients – all within one space.
But the most telling proof of our success
is found not in the spaces we’ve opened
or even the research our experts have
conducted. The most compelling proof
is in the stories our patients have to tell.
Stories like that of Tony, who returned
to his beloved work-outs after his heart
stopped twice. Or Frank, who escaped
the debilitating tremors that plagued his
right hand for decades. They are stories
of being returned to loved ones to lead
lives of quality.
Sunnybrook has always had the enlight-
ened support of our community. As
a donor, you see yourself in the care
we provide and the groundbreaking
research we conduct. You understand
that Sunnybrook will not invent the
future of health care without donors
of vision. You are helping us make the
impossible possible.
It is only through your support that these
remarkable stories can be told. Thank
you for believing in us, in our experts and
in our vision for the future of health care.

Sunnybrook treats
the most critically ill
people in Ontario.
Helping us do that with innovative new
treatments and world-class research
is important to you, our supporters. As
volunteer leaders, life-saving innovations
in health care at Sunnybrook are important
to us, too. That is why the efficient use of
your generous financial support is our top
priority. We are proud that for the second
year in a row, MoneySense magazine
awarded Sunnybrook Foundation an
overall ‘A’ grade in its 2012 Charity 100
rankings. We were the only Ontario
hospital foundation to receive the grade.
The careful and smart use of your financial
support has allowed Sunnybrook to
accomplish great things. We have built
Canada’s largest and most advanced
facility for breast cancer care – the
Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre.
Our research facilities bring together a
unique mix of expertise under one roof,
making the space a catalyst for colla-
boration that leads to creative solutions
for today’s most pressing health issues.
Our new cardiac facilities are state-of-
the-art, allowing Sunnybrook to lead
the country in innovations in minimally
invasive, life-saving treatments. On top
of that, you have offered transforma-
tional support for mental health services,
mothers and premature babies, prostate
cancer research, and much more.
All of these achievements were possible
only because of generous people who
are determined to make a real difference
for others.
And every investment does make a
difference. In addition to the generosity
of Jim and Louise Temerty and Frederick
Thompson, in 2012 several commitments
added momentum to a number of
critically important initiatives.
•	 	$3	million	from	the	Gelato	Cup	Golf	
Tournament to spearhead the
construction of a helipad on the
roof of M-wing
•	 	$1	million	from	Sigmund	and	Nancy	
Levy to bolster brain sciences
research led by Dr. Sandra Black,
a top Canadian scientist
•	 	$1	million	from	the	Breast	Cancer	
Society of Canada toward research
into the use of microbubbles to
greatly enhance radiation and
chemotherapy
Your support is invaluable. Because
of it we are pioneering the treatments
of tomorrow – today.
Of course, the demand for community
support continues. We look forward
to having you behind us as we tackle
the challenges ahead and set a new
standard of innovative health care
in Canada.

4 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
Frank Winnacott can hold his
own cup and write his own name,
thanks to a Canadian-first brain
surgery at Sunnybrook.
The surgery left his skull untouched,
and gave him back the independence
and self-esteem that had long been
missing from his life because of
debilitating tremors that plagued
him for 30 years.
“I would get defensive if my wife
hopped up to help me because I
had trouble accepting that I needed
help,” says Frank, whose right hand
previously shook so much he needed
to hold a half-filled coffee cup with
both hands.
“I have control now, and a sense of
pride. The fact that I’m able to pick up
a teacup and hold my little pinky out –
without creating a tempest in that
teacup – is pretty marvelous.”
With technology invented by
Sunnybrook’s Dr. Kullervo Hynynen,
head of the Centre for Research in
Image-Guided Therapeutics, the
treatment uses magnetic resonance
imaging to guide focused ultrasound
through a patient’s skull to target an
area deep in the brain. (Picture using
a magnifying glass to focus the
sun’s rays while harming nothing
outside that pinpoint of heat.) Focused
ultrasound then destroys the cells
responsible for the tremor, breaking
the faulty circuits causing the tremors.
The steadiness in Frank’s hand was
immediate.
“I sat there in awe thinking, ‘I can be
like other people now,’ ” he recalls.
The third of five patients to receive
the treatment in Canada, Frank is still
returning to his former handy and
fiercely independent self. But while
recovering his spatial awareness and
balance has been gradual over the
past five months, the signs of success
were clear just minutes after the
treatment, daughter Vicki says. Frank
could once again reclaim part of his
identity by signing his name on a
piece of paper.
“It was a signature I hadn’t seen in
years, and it was as I remembered
from many years past,” she recalls.
“It brought my sister Terri and I to
tears to see that.”
“I have control now,
and a sense of pride.
The fact that I’m able
to pick up a teacup and
hold my little pinky out
– without creating a
tempest in that teacup –
is pretty marvelous.”
52012 report to donors
In June 2012, Frederick W.
Thompson made a gift of $10
million to establish the Frederick
W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders
Centre. The gift is the largest
ever in Canada to obsessive
compulsive disorders research
and care.
For something that hurts so many
Canadian families, mental health
doesn’t get nearly the attention it
deserves. Care and research are
underfunded, and anxiety disorders –
including obsessive compulsive
disorder – are not discussed openly.
In fact, it’s rare to find a family that
hasn’t been affected by anxiety
disorders. I know it’s touched mine
through my grandson David, who has
long sought treatment for his OCD.
The right treatment can be hard to find,
yet it’s only through the best support
possible that people return to truly
living their lives.
And that’s unfortunate.
I hope this centre will help change this.
Sunnybrook already leads the way in
treating these disorders, so it’s the best
place for the Frederick W. Thompson
Anxiety Disorders Centre. It’s the right
place. It will allow Sunnybrook to focus
on OCD care and research in a way
that simply doesn’t exist anywhere
else in Canada.
I hope this centre helps create a
greater awareness of what people
are going through, opens doors in
treatment that have been closed due
to insufficient funding, and encourages
people to support OCD research and
care at Sunnybrook.
But most of all, I hope it helps set
families on the path to truly being
healthy again. It’s what families need.

The power to predict and prevent
dementia in some patients
may now be possible, thanks to
Sunnybrook researchers.
They have found a way to predict the
two most common dementias up to
five years before they are diagnosed,
allowing some patients to avoid getting
the devastating disease at all.
“Predicting vascular dementia is
extremely important because this
condition is treatable. Early identifi-
cation and aggressive treatment
may prevent the onset of dementia,”
says Dr. Mary Tierney, director of
the Primary Care Research Unit at
Sunnybrook and senior author of the
study. “This will have a major impact
on quality of life for many patients.”
The researchers were also able
to predict those likely to develop
Alzheimer’s disease. While not
preventable, Alzheimer’s onset can be
delayed with a healthier lifestyle and
moderate exercise, research shows.
Knowing their risks will encourage
patients to make the right changes.
“This research will also inform some
people that their probability for
developing dementia is small,
alleviating worry and concern about
developing dementia over the next
five years,” says Dr. Tierney.
With its international reputation,
Sunnybrook is leading the fight
against this “silver tsunami.” Current
Sunnybrook research is addressing
emotional issues in Alzheimer’s
patients, the link between silent
strokes and dementia risk, and is
exploring technology to diagnose
dementia faster.

Prostate cancer patient
Dan Hill stages the most
important performance
of his life.
IT WAS OCTOBER 20, 2011. Inter-
nationally renowned singer-song-
writer Dan Hill took to a stage in
Cambridge, Ont. and sang his heart
out, having learned just minutes
before that he had prostate cancer.
“I remember walking on stage feel-
ing almost dazed, like I had been
hit over the head with a two-by-four,”
says Dan, a Toronto resident.
“I sang as if it might be the last time
I would ever sing. My road manager
said it was one of the best shows
I had ever done.”
It was another three days before
Dan could be at home with his wife
and family to fully digest the news.
From there, things moved quickly.
He had his prostate removed, and
before long he returned to another
one of his passions: running.
Dan was “blown away” by the care he
received at Sunnybrook. “Whoever
I talked to, they just had lots of
time and lots of empathy. It was the
human connection that really stood
out.” And of Sunnybrook urologist,
Dr. Robert Nam, one of Canada’s
leading prostate cancer experts,
Dan says, “he has such a warm and
engaging persona. It struck me that
he and I have a lot in common, in
that we both really, really love what
we do.”
Dan feels compelled to give back,
and has done so by volunteering
his time to raise awareness of
prostate cancer and by participating
in a musical evening with John
McDermott in November 2012,
which raised vital funds for prostate
cancer research at Sunnybrook.
“You heal yourself by healing
others,” Dan says.

Romeo De Gasperis knows how to build.
As co-founder of CountryWide Homes,
Romeo is behind the construction of
many homes in the Greater Toronto Area.
He has recently turned his attention
to building something a little different:
support for lymphoma research and
education. Thanks to the efforts
of Romeo, his family and others, vital
lymphoma research at Sunnybrook
has received a $300,000 boost.
Romeo has a personal connection to both
lymphoma and Sunnybrook. Under the
expert care of Sunnybrook hematologist
Dr. Rena Buckstein, Romeo has
twice fought Hodgkin lymphoma into
remission.
“The care here was amazing, from the
nursing staff right up to Dr. Buckstein,”
says Romeo, who was diagnosed in
2000. The cancer returned in 2005 and
required intense treatment, including
high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell
transplantation.
“It was tough. I lost weight, had sores
in my mouth and swelling, but I made it
through. I can’t say enough about the
care I received.”
Romeo’s lymphoma is in full remission,
and though he now has chronic
myelogenous leukemia, revolutionary
advancements in pharmaceuticals in
the last decade have made the condition
manageable.
Romeo jumped at the opportunity to
help raise funds for lymphoma research.
In partnership with Lymphoma Foundation
Canada, Romeo held a dinner featuring
The Tenors in June 2012, raising money

Sunnybrook doctors are giving new
hope to those living with brain cancer
by treating the tumour directly, rather
than the entire brain.
“Patients tell me they can’t even feel
the treatment and that they’re pleased
they can still get chemotherapy without
missing a beat,” says Sunnybrook
radiation oncologist Dr. Arjun Sahgal,
an international research leader in
brain and spine cancers.
The high-tech, extremely precise
radiation treatment – known as stereo-
tactic radiosurgery – preserves brain
functioning, including processes related
to attention span, memory, problem-
solving, decision-making and speech.
Because the treatment is so precise,
chemo can proceed virtually uninterrupted. 
“In the past, we simply treated the whole
brain with radiation, with the goal being
to manage symptoms. We now deliver
stereotactic radiosurgery to control
tumours for patients who have a limited
number of them,” Dr. Sahgal notes.
“We use whole brain radiation later,
only if they need it.”
Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre
is one of only a few Canadian centres
using the treatment for cancer that
has spread to the brain or spine. The
technique doesn’t destroy the tumour,
but distorts the DNA within the tumour
cells, causing them to lose the ability
to reproduce and hold fluids.

Lori Vajda, 44, is a breast cancer
survivor who had a double mastec-
tomy and breast reconstruction
on the same day in 2011 through
Sunnybrook’s Immediate Breast
Reconstruction Program. Married
with two children, Lori is a registered
nurse who lives outside Barrie.
Here, Lori shares her story.
I often forget about my battle with
breast cancer. I know that sounds
impossible, but I think there are a
few reasons for this.
I kept a positive outlook throughout
the ordeal, viewing it as an obstacle
to be overcome. And then there
was my busy family life; we all just
kept going and didn’t let the cancer
slow us down. Really, the experience
brought us closer together. The
great health care I received along
the way, especially through
Sunnybrook’s program, definitely
made things easier.
It wasn’t all sunshine. There were
times when I was terrified.
I didn’t have to think very long about
getting the double mastectomy.
I just wanted the cancer out of me
for good. Having immediate breast
reconstruction available made my
decision simpler, as I didn’t want
to go months without breasts.
The surgery helped me regain a
sensual and important part of who
I am as a woman.
My care at the clinic was fantastic,
from the initial consultation to post-
surgery visits. By the time the first
consultation wrapped up, I knew
everything was going to be OK.
The weight had been lifted off my
shoulders.
Today, my future is bright, and I look
forward to living to the ripe-old age
of 100.

Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre
is home to Canada’s largest
breast cancer centre, thanks to
a $10-million gift from Jim and
Louise Temerty. Louise, a long-
time and passionate supporter of
the fight against breast cancer,
tells her story here:
It’s been said that waiting is the hardest
part. Perhaps nowhere does that ring
more true than for breast cancer patients
awaiting answers.
Women with breast cancer symptoms are
too often put through a terrible waiting
period for results and a treatment plan,
sometimes as many as six weeks.
That delay wears them down with
unbelievable stress, and it shouldn’t
be that way. Women need to get started
on treatment as soon as possible, so
they can return to living their lives.
I’m so proud to play a role in the creation
of the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer
Centre, because it will revolutionize
breast cancer care in Canada. Here,
Sunnybrook’s experts will advance
breast imaging technology to find cancer
as early as possible, and offer a range
of specialized care to those in need.
They will pioneer and test the latest
treatments through innovative research,
and in the Rapid Diagnosis Unit, women
will receive treatment plans within
just 24 hours. It will put an end to that
unbearable waiting.
Fighting breast cancer is my passion.
As a former executive of the Canadian
Breast Cancer Foundation and a 10-year

this centre is. For so many, it will be the
difference between life and death.

Unleashing
MRI
After leading research to show magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is the best way
to detect breast cancer in women at
high risk for the disease, Sunnybrook’s
experts are now focused on getting the
technology widely used in screening – to
save more lives through early detection.
That’s where Dr. Anne Martel, a senior
scientist at Sunnybrook Research
Institute, comes in.
“We’ve already developed a unique
database of MRI breast screening
images and are using this to ‘train’ a
computer system to find abnormalities
in the images and decide whether these
are cancer,” says Dr. Martel, whose
complex research in computer-aided
detection has received funding from the
Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
With greater sensitivity than other imaging
technologies, MRI picks up hard-to-see
abnormalities. However, it also detects
spots not worth worrying about.
Through computer-aided detection,
Dr. Martel aims to address this and other
MRI-related challenges. These include
the relative ease with which humans can
analyze mammography images versus
MRI scans. By creating software that
can quickly scrutinize MRI scans and
pinpoint possible tumours, Dr. Martel
says radiologists will be better able to
unleash the full potential of MRI.
In doing so, the software promises
to save lives by helping find breast
cancer earlier.

TONY MELMAN SAW HIS HEART
FLATLINE – TWICE.
Both times he took pictures of the
monitor with his iPhone.
Thanks to the cardiac team at
Sunnybrook, Tony lived to tell the
story of his near-death experience
in June last year and how his healthy
normal life was restored.
“I received fantastic care at Sunnybrook.
The doctors and nurses were so
attentive,” he says. “It was a rebirth
experience – I could have been dead.
I feel like I’ve got a new lease on life.”
Tony is a fit 65-year-old. For more
than 30 years, he has had a three-
hour daily workout routine that starts
around 4:30 a.m. Last June, the
“Superman,” as his friends call him,
collapsed in his gym.
“The feeling started out with a warm
blanket covering me – it was a good
feeling. Then it was completely silent,
like heavenly quiet,” Tony recalls.
“I felt myself falling gently into this
darkness.”
After Tony regained consciousness
from the adrenalin rush caused by his
fall, his wife took him to Sunnybrook,
where it was discovered that his heart
continued to stop many times for
12 to 15 seconds. He was then given
an emergency pacemaker in a late
night operation.
“The doctors told me I’ve got a turbo-
charged heart, but I blew my electrical
system,” he says. “My wife and I hugged
and I burst out crying. I wasn’t sure if
I was going to see her again.”
Tony not only saw his wife again, he
was back to his fitness schedule in a
matter of days, after being fitted with
a pacemaker.
“I feel so lucky that I’m here,” he says.
“I feel great, take no medication except
for a daily baby aspirin and after 30
years of being a vegetarian, I am now
eating animal protein to enhance
my health even more. Sunnybrook
has certainly revitalized my life and
taken me to a new level.”
To say thank you, Tony hosted
the launch of Sunnybrook’s Dine &

“They were great with him – they saved his
life,” Tony says. “No one wants to spend time
in a hospital, but it was a nice experience.
It’s a nice building and the care we received
was amazing from all nurses and doctors.
I only have positive stories to tell.”
At first, the Pampena family was concerned
when Paul was admitted to the hospital.
“We had no understanding why or how

A new life-saving view of patients’ hearts
is “a dream come true” for Sunnybrook
scientists.
Thanks to a new magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) machine – one of the world’s
first equipped to provide information
about the inner workings of a patient’s
heart cells.
“We will now be able to tell if the metabolism
inside the heart cells is in a normal state
or a diseased state,” says Dr. Charles
Cunningham, a physicist in the Schulich
Heart Research Program. “It’s aimed at
finding patients with the highest risk for
death from heart failure and to treat
them before it’s too late.”
The mortality rate due to heart failure in
the years following a heart attack or other
heart injury is high, with 30 to 40 per cent of
people diagnosed with heart failure dying
within one year. Dr. Cunningham has been
developing a new imaging method that’s
showing great promise as a tool in the
management of these patients. Using the
new $2-million system – known as metabolic
MRI – scientists can make images of the
metabolism in the heart muscle, capturing
chemical reactions as they occur.
“We don’t know what we are going to find,”
Dr. Cunningham says. “But it’s a dream
come true. This has the potential to change
the way we manage patients with heart
failure. If we can help those people to
prolong their life, that’s huge.”

A team of Sunnybrook scientists has
helped create a spine device that zaps
bone cancer with heat – and is now
sharing that invention with the world.
The minimally invasive technology is
already being used at Sunnybrook,
commercially available and Health
Canada-approved. It uses radiofrequency
waves to destroy tumour cells that have
spread to the bone, and does so without
damaging neighbouring healthy tissue
in the spine.
“It’s not that you’re delivering heat to
the body; you’re delivering electricity,”
explains Padina Pezeshki, part of the
team behind the groundbreaking tech-
nology. “It’s really the heat generated in
the tissue that cooks the tumour.”
The technology was tested, optimized
and its performance evaluated by

surgeon, Cari Whyne, PhD, director of
the Holland Musculoskeletal Research
Program, and Padina, a University of

KRISTIN GARDNER IS LIVING
PROOF that research is
making a real difference
in people’s lives – today.
Searching online for a solution
to her painful uterine fibroids,
Kristin stumbled upon an
experimental procedure still
in the research stage at
Sunnybrook.
The non-invasive treatment
offered an alternative to
myomectomy, surgery to
remove the fibroids, or
hysterectomy, which leaves
the woman in-fertile, and
meant she could return to
her routine the next day.
“It was very exciting to be
part of this trial because it is
going to change the lives of
women forever,” says Kristin.
“It just really made sense to
me to participate.”
Indeed, the treatment, which
involves MRI-guided high-
intensity focused ultrasound,
has shown promising results
in the 19 patients at Sunnybrook
so far. Dr. Elizabeth David,
the study’s principal investi-
gator, says she’s confident
it will become standard
treatment with a few tweaks
and adjustments.
“There is no incision, no
scarring and very little post-
operative care. It’s truly
non-invasive, where every-
thing else is really minimally
invasive,” says Dr. David.
“HIFU doesn’t even involve
a needle.”
“It was wonderful to be back
to my normal routine the
next day,” Kristin says, adding
she noticed a reduction
of abdominal discomfort
immediately. “I had the treat-
ment, and went home to a
nice dinner with my family.”
A groundbreaking
experimental
procedure leaves
Kristin Gardner
pain-free.

Picture tiny bubbles floating to the top
of a glass of soda, dancing erratically
at the surface.
The image helps illustrate groundbreaking
research by Dr. Gregory Czarnota,
a Sunnybrook radiation oncologist who
is manipulating tiny gas-filled bubbles
to improve cancer treatment.
Dr. Czarnota is the first in the world to
show microbubbles within imaging
contrast agents can be used to magnify
the cancer-killing power of radiation.
In early stage testing, he is using
microbubbles and focused ultrasound
to make locally advanced breast cancer
more responsive to chemotherapy
and radiation.
“Contrast agents and the tiny bubbles
within them help us see cancer better. By
agitating the microbubbles with focused
ultrasound and causing them to bounce
around within the blood vessels of a
tumour, we can ultimately damage the
cancer cells and make them much
more susceptible to radiation and drug
treatments,” Dr. Czarnota says.
“This means far less radiation is needed
to achieve the same results.”
Locally advanced breast cancer has
an extremely high mortality rate within
two years of diagnosis. Our leading-
edge microbubble research, which has
received a $1-million boost from the
Breast Cancer Society of Canada,
offers hope to future patients facing
the disease.
“The organization’s support will allow
us to scale up these treatments,
moving them out of the laboratory
and into breast cancer patients
in the next three to five years,”
Dr. Czarnota notes.

INCREDIBLE
JOURNEYFrom Croatia to Sunnybrook,
Anna Leibenko makes
a miraculous recovery.
24 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
Anna Leibenko was stranded
on life support in Croatia last
summer after she slipped off a
three-metre-high catamaran,
hitting her head on the ledge
and plunging into the Adriatic Sea
unconsciously. Today, the 24-
year-old former Toronto Argos
cheerleader is continuing her
miraculous recovery in rehab –
but has no memory of the accident.
Her brother, Artem Leibenko,
recalls how Sunnybrook came to
Anna’s rescue:
It was 3 a.m. when our mother got the
call from Croatia. It was from one of
Anna’s friends; they were travelling
together on a month-long vacation.
They said not to worry, but later,
an English-speaking doctor from
Split, Croatia told me she suffered
multiple head and facial fractures,
concussions, internal brain bleeding,
and was in a coma with a broken
nose. I was shocked.
Anna didn’t have travel insurance.
We made a public plea to raise money
to cover her massive health-care
bills and a $93,550 fee to transport
her home by air ambulance. Thanks
to everyone who helped, she arrived
at Sunnybrook in early September. I
couldn’t bear to see her hooked up to
a machine. It was heartbreaking.
Anna remained in a coma at
Sunnybrook. Doctors didn’t know
if she was going to wake up. After
two weeks, she was taken off the
ventilator and she opened her eyes.
We didn’t know if she was responsive.
She was just lying there, wasn’t
talking. When she did speak at first,
it was gibberish. But soon, my sister
was talking again, telling me plans
for once she got out of the hospital.
Sunnybrook specializes in trauma
and we are so grateful for the
excellent care she received here. She
can now keep a normal conversation.
She’s happy – and most importantly,
she’s still in our lives.

Answering
the Call
On July 16, 2012, a Danzig Street
party ended with two people killed
and 23 wounded in the worst
mass shooting in Toronto’s history.
Sunnybrook received the serious-
ly injured, but we were ready for
it – thanks to donor support that
doubled our trauma capacity. Dr.
Homer Tien, medical director of the
Tory Regional Trauma Centre, the
largest in Canada, recounts how
Sunnybrook’s experts coped with
this incident:
I was home when I got a call from my
resident. He said, “We just got word
there might be 10 to 20 gunshot-wound
patients en route.” It was the type of call
I might expect during one of my tours
in Afghanistan as a trauma surgeon with
the Canadian military, but not here in
Toronto. “You’re kidding, right?” I replied.
I live across the street from Sunnybrook.
By the time I got in five minutes later,
we had more information: two were dead
at the scene and five to 10 victims were
coming to Sunnybrook. We activated
Code Orange, the code for mass
casualties.
It was the largest number of gunshot
wound victims I had ever treated in the
shortest period of time. Six patients with
gunshot wounds arrived within 15 minutes.
About 70 to 100 staff worked that night
related to the shooting, including two
staff surgeons and two fellows, who
operated on the patients.
The great thing about Sunnybrook is
that trauma is one of our key strategic
programs, and so, the whole hospital
thinks “trauma.” Hospital staff were all
volunteering to stay past the end of their
shifts to help with these patients. That
incident resonated with people in a way
that they said, “Yes, this is why we are
here,” and there was a confidence that
we can do things here that no one else
can do. Everyone knew: “OK, it’s time
to get our game face on, because this is
what we do best.”
And because of our generous donors,
our staff had the space and capacity to
deal effectively with these patients. It
was a great team effort.

Sunnybrook trauma patients have
100,000 reasons to celebrate
Dufferin Construction Company’s
100th anniversary.
To mark its centennial in 2012, Dufferin
Construction Company generously
gave $100,000 to Sunnybrook’s
Trauma, Emergency and Critical Care
(TECC) Program.
“It’s such a big hospital and the service
is impressive and efficient,” says
Eddy Marin, Dufferin Construction’s
central district manager. “Despite the
safe work environment we provide,
our employees do – albeit rarely – get
injured on the job, and Sunnybrook is
always there when they do.”
Above all, the gift helped Dufferin
Construction celebrate the milestone
by giving back to communities where
its employees live and work.
“Sunnybrook is one of our area hospitals.
It’s a world-renowned hospital in our
community,” Eddy says. “At the end of
the day, we are hoping our donation
can continue Sunnybrook’s quest to
save lives.”

YOU CAN SPOT JOHN BENNETT by the
colours of his shoes – black and mottled
with a rainbow of paint splatter.
John, 94, is a Second World War veteran
at Sunnybrook’s Veterans Centre, where
he has enjoyed a life full of colours for
two years.
“I love it here,” he says. “I’m being taken
good care of and I like the freedom to do
art – that’s my whole life.”
A painter since the age of six, John has
created about 7,000 paintings over his
lifetime. Last year, the Canadian War
Museum in Ottawa accepted 78 of his
paintings into its collection. The water-
colour paintings capture his experiences
in the war, beginning in 1943 when he
was an army infantry camouflage officer,
in the woodlands of Normandy, Belgium
and Holland.
“I made time to paint during the war – I
had my own jeep and I always took my
art supplies with me,” he recalls.
With the support of the art therapy
program at the Veterans Centre, John
continues to express himself creatively
through a variety of mediums. Since
coming to Sunnybrook, he has also taken
up fused glass.
“I interpret and reinterpret things – I steal
ideas from newspaper clippings or photo-
graphs I collect,” he says. “I do some art
just about every day.”

Sunnybrook veterans are riding in
style, thanks to a $330,000 coach bus
generously donated by the Royal
Canadian Legion.
Dubbed “Legionnaire” by the residents
of the Veterans Centre, the 30-seat bus
sports a contemporary look with large
poppies and the words “Lest We Forget”
along the side. It replaces the Bullet II,
which served the veterans for the past 10
years. It’s the third bus the Royal Canadian
Legion has donated to Sunnybrook
veterans over the years.
“Sunnybrook is the largest Veterans
residence in Canada. It’s close to us and
we all get a chance to visit there. We talk
to the veterans, identify their needs and
try to make their quality of life better,”
says Bill Chafe, past chairman of the Royal
Canadian Legion Tri-District Hospital
Committee District ABC. “It was great
to see their reactions when we unveiled
the bus – shock, surprise, laughter,
smiles – it was a mix of emotions.”
Each month, with the support of
recreation therapists, Sunnybrook
veterans enjoy more than 30 planned
community outings either to sports
and cultural events, shopping, or longer
excursions such as to Niagara Falls or
the annual getaway to summer camp
on beautiful Lake Joseph.
“Without this bus we would be shut-ins,”
says John Manestar, a Second World
War veteran and resident of the Veterans
Centre. “We are so grateful to the Legion
for this remarkable donation to the
hospital and the lives of Canadian
war veterans.”

One-year-old Joseph is climbing
the sofa, crawling up the stairs
and terrorizing his big sister
Kaeleigh – pulling her hair and
stealing her food.
His parents couldn’t be happier.
“One of our biggest fears when he
was born premature was that he
would have delayed motor skills,”
says mom Rebecca Noronha. “But
he’s doing absolutely everything
he should be doing.”
Joseph, born at less than 2 lbs.,
had an early start to life. Rebecca
went into labour just 25 weeks
into her pregnancy, and was
transferred to Sunnybrook from
her local hospital. Sunnybrook,
she was told, had the life-saving
care she and Joseph needed in
both our High Risk Obstetrical
Unit and the Newton Glassman
Charitable Foundation Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit where Joseph
stayed for more than a month.

But it was the care Joseph received
after leaving Sunnybrook that really
made the difference, she says.
Our extensive DeFrancesco Family
NICU Follow-Up Clinic continues
to care for these patients for up to
six years, far longer than programs
at other centres. Here, Joseph
got the care he needed – including
exercises to encourage develop-

And three-year-old Kaeleigh?
She doesn’t mind being terrorized

For Philip Leong, supporting
Sunnybrook’s care for the province’s
tiniest babies is an enormous
thank-you to Canada, a country
of great opportunity.
“As Canadians, we’re very lucky to
live here,” he explains. “Canada has
given me so many opportunities as an
immigrant. So it’s very simple. I just
want to do my part as a citizen, and
I’m giving what humble contribution
I can to allow the hospital to continue
its service to the community.”
The gift is Philip’s way of thanking
Canada for providing him with a
quality education and rewarding
career after he moved here from
Macau in 1987. Philip is now a
vice-president and director with RBC
Dominion Securities Inc.
He says the exemplary care Sunnybrook
provides for Ontario’s most critically ill
babies is a natural fit for his philanthropy.
His own son was born three months
premature 14 years ago, weighed just
2 lbs. and spent considerable time in
the neonatal intensive care unit.
He understands the importance of
staff who provide the most advanced
care, giving each tiny baby the best
start in life.
“I just want to support Sunnybrook;
every day there are premature babies
receiving life-saving care here,” says
Philip. “The staff really cares about
each baby’s life. They do more than
just their job, and that’s important.”

Nature knows best when it comes to
delivering twins.
So says an international study led by
researchers in our Women & Babies
Program. It found that vaginal birth of
twins is just as safe as C-section– a
result that could reverse birthing trends
around the world.
“The perception is that C-section may
be safer for the baby, but the Twin Birth
Study has proved this is not true. The
evidence is clear that C-section for
twins is not the best plan,” says Dr. Jon
Barrett, chief of Sunnybrook’s Maternal
Fetal Medicine and the nine-year
study’s lead investigator.
“Women expecting twins should be
encouraged to plan for a vaginal
birth, provided that an obstetrician,
experienced in twin vaginal births,
will be available at delivery.”
The best method of delivering twins
has been controversial, with planned
C-section gaining support in recent
years. However, the Twin Birth Study
found no significant difference in
outcome between natural birth and
C-section, the latter previously believed
to have lower risk associated with
birth trauma or death.
The study also found that women who
planned for C-section delivered earlier
than those who planned for vaginal birth.
Twins are at significant higher risk of
complications around the time of
labour and birth than singletons, and
the number of twin births has increased
by at least 40 per cent over the last
decade due to in vitro fertilization.
“There’s a trend for C-section generally,
and this may have implications for the
mother’s next pregnancy,” Dr. Barrett
says. “We hope the results from
our study will change dramatically the
way twins are delivered worldwide.
It will hopefully reverse the trend and
prompt the need for more training for
vaginal births.”

Over the past year, Sunnybrook has grabbed
headlines around the world.
Be it our groundbreaking research, life-saving
care or simply the way Sunnybrook touches
the community, media outlets are watching.
In June 2012, the Globe and
Mail featured a piece head-
lined “$10-million gift will raise
profile of anxiety disorders.”
The story described the
specialized care for obsessive
compulsive disorder patients
that would be provided in the
newly established Frederick W.
Thompson Anxiety Disorders
Centre at Sunnybrook.
When Toronto’s mass
shooting hit Danzig Street
last summer, many of the
victims were brought to
Sunnybrook. The Toronto
Star told the story of how
Dr. Homer Tien’s experience
as a trauma surgeon in
Kandahar saved lives that day.

into an MRI-guided high-

Sunnybrook has a strong

A TRIBUTE TO OUR FRIEND
Edmond Odette, c.m.
A true Sunnybrook champion and a leading Canadian philanthropist,
Edmond G. Odette passed away November 17, 2012 at the age of 86.
Mr. Odette and his wife Gloria, who predeceased him, made a landmark gift to
Sunnybrook’s cancer care and research in 2007, which was celebrated with the naming
of the Edmond Odette Cancer Centre.
“Mr. and Mrs. Odette’s generosity has been essential in allowing Sunnybrook to build
advanced facilities, purchase leading-edge equipment, attract talented medical
professionals and pioneer the treatments of tomorrow,” says Dr. Barry McLellan,
Sunnybrook’s president and CEO.
Their philanthropic vision was characterized by a keen interest in the projects they
supported. “Ed was so engaged when it came to the care provided to Sunnybrook
patients. We would sit and chat in my office, discussing a vision for the future. I’ll miss
those one-on-one experiences,” says Dr. Andy Smith, chief of the Odette Cancer Centre.
Mr. Odette, a Member of the Order of Canada, aided many aspects of Sunnybrook’s
cancer care, including the recent modernization and expansion of the centre’s
Chemotherapy Unit and Gloria Odette Pharmacy. The family’s generosity has impacted
many Sunnybrook patients over the years in a wide range of program areas, including
heart, orthopedics and imaging.
“Mr. Odette demonstrated the importance of community support in advancing health-
care services. Without the Odettes’ support, we simply would not be able to deliver
some of our most innovative care,” says Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, Sunnybrook Foundation
president and CEO.

It’s having brain surgery and going home the very next day. It’s getting back on your feet, and getting back to normal, when all hope seemed lost. This is Sunnybrook. Life happens here.

  • 3. 2 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION We often speak of our vision to invent the future of health care. This vision pushes us to continually strive to advance what’s possible – to conduct the research that leads to life-saving care for patients here in our community and around the world. It means we think of care in new ways, build state-of-the-art spaces and acquire the most advanced equipment to match the world-class skills of our experts. But this future is not years away, a distant dream that may never be reached. The treatments of tomorrow are happening right now, right here at Sunnybrook. This future is found in our reconstructed and expanded Schulich Heart Centre, opened in the fall of 2011. This is just one of two sites in Canada where doctors repair faulty mitral valves without opening the chest. Last year alone, 100 lives were saved by donor-funded, minimally invasive procedures pioneered at the centre. The future is in our renovated and expanded Chemotherapy Unit and Gloria Odette Pharmacy, officially opened in June 2012. Our chemotherapy space allows us to treat patients in a comfortable and nurturing environment, while meeting the increasing need from the community. Our expanded cancer pharmacy provides room for one-on-one service, as well as additional capacity to support our breakthrough chemo- therapy trials. Thanks to a $10-million gift from Frederick Thompson, we established the Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre. Our focus on obsessive compulsive disorder care and research is found nowhere else in Canada. This spring, we opened the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre earlier than planned because of a landmark $10-million gift from Jim and Louise Temerty. The largest and most advanced facility of its kind in Canada, the centre will put our breast cancer experts at the forefront of research, pioneering new treatments, advancing imaging technologies, and improving prevention of the disease. In November 2012, we opened the Centre for Research in Image-Guided Therapeutics. Made possible through support from generous donors and a $75-million grant from the federal government’s Canada Foundation for Innovation, this $160-million centre will advance every stage of research, from studying basic cell biology to designing therapies based on the makeup of that cell, to testing those therapies preclinically and, finally, in patients – all within one space. But the most telling proof of our success is found not in the spaces we’ve opened or even the research our experts have conducted. The most compelling proof is in the stories our patients have to tell. Stories like that of Tony, who returned to his beloved work-outs after his heart stopped twice. Or Frank, who escaped the debilitating tremors that plagued his right hand for decades. They are stories of being returned to loved ones to lead lives of quality. Sunnybrook has always had the enlight- ened support of our community. As a donor, you see yourself in the care we provide and the groundbreaking research we conduct. You understand that Sunnybrook will not invent the future of health care without donors of vision. You are helping us make the impossible possible. It is only through your support that these remarkable stories can be told. Thank you for believing in us, in our experts and in our vision for the future of health care. message from our ceos Dr. Barry McLellan President & CEO, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, C.M. President & CEO, Sunnybrook Foundation
  • 4. 32012 REPORT TO DONORS Sunnybrook treats the most critically ill people in Ontario. Helping us do that with innovative new treatments and world-class research is important to you, our supporters. As volunteer leaders, life-saving innovations in health care at Sunnybrook are important to us, too. That is why the efficient use of your generous financial support is our top priority. We are proud that for the second year in a row, MoneySense magazine awarded Sunnybrook Foundation an overall ‘A’ grade in its 2012 Charity 100 rankings. We were the only Ontario hospital foundation to receive the grade. The careful and smart use of your financial support has allowed Sunnybrook to accomplish great things. We have built Canada’s largest and most advanced facility for breast cancer care – the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre. Our research facilities bring together a unique mix of expertise under one roof, making the space a catalyst for colla- boration that leads to creative solutions for today’s most pressing health issues. Our new cardiac facilities are state-of- the-art, allowing Sunnybrook to lead the country in innovations in minimally invasive, life-saving treatments. On top of that, you have offered transforma- tional support for mental health services, mothers and premature babies, prostate cancer research, and much more. All of these achievements were possible only because of generous people who are determined to make a real difference for others. And every investment does make a difference. In addition to the generosity of Jim and Louise Temerty and Frederick Thompson, in 2012 several commitments added momentum to a number of critically important initiatives. • $3 million from the Gelato Cup Golf Tournament to spearhead the construction of a helipad on the roof of M-wing • $1 million from Sigmund and Nancy Levy to bolster brain sciences research led by Dr. Sandra Black, a top Canadian scientist • $1 million from the Breast Cancer Society of Canada toward research into the use of microbubbles to greatly enhance radiation and chemotherapy Your support is invaluable. Because of it we are pioneering the treatments of tomorrow – today. Of course, the demand for community support continues. We look forward to having you behind us as we tackle the challenges ahead and set a new standard of innovative health care in Canada. message from our volunteer leadership Perry Dellelce Chair, Sunnybrook Foundation Board David Agnew Chair, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre Board
  • 5. A groundbreaking surgery puts Frank Winnacott back in control. HOLDING STEADY feature story Brain Sciences Patient 4 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
  • 6. Frank Winnacott can hold his own cup and write his own name, thanks to a Canadian-first brain surgery at Sunnybrook. The surgery left his skull untouched, and gave him back the independence and self-esteem that had long been missing from his life because of debilitating tremors that plagued him for 30 years. “I would get defensive if my wife hopped up to help me because I had trouble accepting that I needed help,” says Frank, whose right hand previously shook so much he needed to hold a half-filled coffee cup with both hands. “I have control now, and a sense of pride. The fact that I’m able to pick up a teacup and hold my little pinky out – without creating a tempest in that teacup – is pretty marvelous.” With technology invented by Sunnybrook’s Dr. Kullervo Hynynen, head of the Centre for Research in Image-Guided Therapeutics, the treatment uses magnetic resonance imaging to guide focused ultrasound through a patient’s skull to target an area deep in the brain. (Picture using a magnifying glass to focus the sun’s rays while harming nothing outside that pinpoint of heat.) Focused ultrasound then destroys the cells responsible for the tremor, breaking the faulty circuits causing the tremors. The steadiness in Frank’s hand was immediate. “I sat there in awe thinking, ‘I can be like other people now,’ ” he recalls. The third of five patients to receive the treatment in Canada, Frank is still returning to his former handy and fiercely independent self. But while recovering his spatial awareness and balance has been gradual over the past five months, the signs of success were clear just minutes after the treatment, daughter Vicki says. Frank could once again reclaim part of his identity by signing his name on a piece of paper. “It was a signature I hadn’t seen in years, and it was as I remembered from many years past,” she recalls. “It brought my sister Terri and I to tears to see that.” “I have control now, and a sense of pride. The fact that I’m able to pick up a teacup and hold my little pinky out – without creating a tempest in that teacup – is pretty marvelous.” 52012 report to donors
  • 7. In June 2012, Frederick W. Thompson made a gift of $10 million to establish the Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre. The gift is the largest ever in Canada to obsessive compulsive disorders research and care. For something that hurts so many Canadian families, mental health doesn’t get nearly the attention it deserves. Care and research are underfunded, and anxiety disorders – including obsessive compulsive disorder – are not discussed openly. In fact, it’s rare to find a family that hasn’t been affected by anxiety disorders. I know it’s touched mine through my grandson David, who has long sought treatment for his OCD. The right treatment can be hard to find, yet it’s only through the best support possible that people return to truly living their lives. And that’s unfortunate. I hope this centre will help change this. Sunnybrook already leads the way in treating these disorders, so it’s the best place for the Frederick W. Thompson Anxiety Disorders Centre. It’s the right place. It will allow Sunnybrook to focus on OCD care and research in a way that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else in Canada. I hope this centre helps create a greater awareness of what people are going through, opens doors in treatment that have been closed due to insufficient funding, and encourages people to support OCD research and care at Sunnybrook. But most of all, I hope it helps set families on the path to truly being healthy again. It’s what families need.

  • 8. Advanced Knowledge The power to predict and prevent dementia in some patients may now be possible, thanks to Sunnybrook researchers. They have found a way to predict the two most common dementias up to five years before they are diagnosed, allowing some patients to avoid getting the devastating disease at all. “Predicting vascular dementia is extremely important because this condition is treatable. Early identifi- cation and aggressive treatment may prevent the onset of dementia,” says Dr. Mary Tierney, director of the Primary Care Research Unit at Sunnybrook and senior author of the study. “This will have a major impact on quality of life for many patients.” The researchers were also able to predict those likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease. While not preventable, Alzheimer’s onset can be delayed with a healthier lifestyle and moderate exercise, research shows. Knowing their risks will encourage patients to make the right changes. “This research will also inform some people that their probability for developing dementia is small, alleviating worry and concern about developing dementia over the next five years,” says Dr. Tierney. With its international reputation, Sunnybrook is leading the fight against this “silver tsunami.” Current Sunnybrook research is addressing emotional issues in Alzheimer’s patients, the link between silent strokes and dementia risk, and is exploring technology to diagnose dementia faster.

  • 10. IT WAS OCTOBER 20, 2011. Inter- nationally renowned singer-song- writer Dan Hill took to a stage in Cambridge, Ont. and sang his heart out, having learned just minutes before that he had prostate cancer. “I remember walking on stage feel- ing almost dazed, like I had been hit over the head with a two-by-four,” says Dan, a Toronto resident. “I sang as if it might be the last time I would ever sing. My road manager said it was one of the best shows I had ever done.” It was another three days before Dan could be at home with his wife and family to fully digest the news. From there, things moved quickly. He had his prostate removed, and before long he returned to another one of his passions: running. Dan was “blown away” by the care he received at Sunnybrook. “Whoever I talked to, they just had lots of time and lots of empathy. It was the human connection that really stood out.” And of Sunnybrook urologist, Dr. Robert Nam, one of Canada’s leading prostate cancer experts, Dan says, “he has such a warm and engaging persona. It struck me that he and I have a lot in common, in that we both really, really love what we do.” Dan feels compelled to give back, and has done so by volunteering his time to raise awareness of prostate cancer and by participating in a musical evening with John McDermott in November 2012, which raised vital funds for prostate cancer research at Sunnybrook. “You heal yourself by healing others,” Dan says. “I sang as if it might be the last time I would ever sing. My road manager said it was one of the best shows I had ever done.” 92012 REPORT TO DONORS

He has recently turned his attention to building something a little different: support for lymphoma research and education. Thanks to the efforts of Romeo, his family and others, vital lymphoma research at Sunnybrook has received a $300,000 boost. Romeo has a personal connection to both lymphoma and Sunnybrook. Under the expert care of Sunnybrook hematologist Dr. Rena Buckstein, Romeo has twice fought Hodgkin lymphoma into remission. “The care here was amazing, from the nursing staff right up to Dr. Buckstein,” says Romeo, who was diagnosed in 2000. The cancer returned in 2005 and required intense treatment, including high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation. “It was tough. I lost weight, had sores in my mouth and swelling, but I made it through. I can’t say enough about the care I received.” Romeo’s lymphoma is in full remission, and though he now has chronic myelogenous leukemia, revolutionary advancements in pharmaceuticals in the last decade have made the condition manageable. Romeo jumped at the opportunity to help raise funds for lymphoma research. In partnership with Lymphoma Foundation Canada, Romeo held a dinner featuring The Tenors in June 2012, raising money for various hematology research initia- tives, including support for hematology research fellows at Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre.

  • 12. 112012 REPORT TO DONORS Sunnybrook doctors are giving new hope to those living with brain cancer by treating the tumour directly, rather than the entire brain. “Patients tell me they can’t even feel the treatment and that they’re pleased they can still get chemotherapy without missing a beat,” says Sunnybrook radiation oncologist Dr. Arjun Sahgal, an international research leader in brain and spine cancers. The high-tech, extremely precise radiation treatment – known as stereo- tactic radiosurgery – preserves brain functioning, including processes related to attention span, memory, problem- solving, decision-making and speech. Because the treatment is so precise, chemo can proceed virtually uninterrupted.  “In the past, we simply treated the whole brain with radiation, with the goal being to manage symptoms. We now deliver stereotactic radiosurgery to control tumours for patients who have a limited number of them,” Dr. Sahgal notes. “We use whole brain radiation later, only if they need it.” Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre is one of only a few Canadian centres using the treatment for cancer that has spread to the brain or spine. The technique doesn’t destroy the tumour, but distorts the DNA within the tumour cells, causing them to lose the ability to reproduce and hold fluids. Fine Tuned Odette Cancer Centre Innovation

  • 14. Lori Vajda, 44, is a breast cancer survivor who had a double mastec- tomy and breast reconstruction on the same day in 2011 through Sunnybrook’s Immediate Breast Reconstruction Program. Married with two children, Lori is a registered nurse who lives outside Barrie. Here, Lori shares her story. I often forget about my battle with breast cancer. I know that sounds impossible, but I think there are a few reasons for this. I kept a positive outlook throughout the ordeal, viewing it as an obstacle to be overcome. And then there was my busy family life; we all just kept going and didn’t let the cancer slow us down. Really, the experience brought us closer together. The great health care I received along the way, especially through Sunnybrook’s program, definitely made things easier. It wasn’t all sunshine. There were times when I was terrified. I didn’t have to think very long about getting the double mastectomy. I just wanted the cancer out of me for good. Having immediate breast reconstruction available made my decision simpler, as I didn’t want to go months without breasts. The surgery helped me regain a sensual and important part of who I am as a woman. My care at the clinic was fantastic, from the initial consultation to post- surgery visits. By the time the first consultation wrapped up, I knew everything was going to be OK. The weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Today, my future is bright, and I look forward to living to the ripe-old age of 100. “The surgery helped me regain a sensual and important part of who I am as a woman.” 132012 REPORT TO DONORS Sunnybrook Foundation is seeking support for this vital service so that women can gain quicker access to care.

  • 15. 14 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION Sunnybrook’s Odette Cancer Centre is home to Canada’s largest breast cancer centre, thanks to a $10-million gift from Jim and Louise Temerty. Louise, a long- time and passionate supporter of the fight against breast cancer, tells her story here: It’s been said that waiting is the hardest part. Perhaps nowhere does that ring more true than for breast cancer patients awaiting answers. Women with breast cancer symptoms are too often put through a terrible waiting period for results and a treatment plan, sometimes as many as six weeks. That delay wears them down with unbelievable stress, and it shouldn’t be that way. Women need to get started on treatment as soon as possible, so they can return to living their lives. I’m so proud to play a role in the creation of the Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre, because it will revolutionize breast cancer care in Canada. Here, Sunnybrook’s experts will advance breast imaging technology to find cancer as early as possible, and offer a range of specialized care to those in need. They will pioneer and test the latest treatments through innovative research, and in the Rapid Diagnosis Unit, women will receive treatment plans within just 24 hours. It will put an end to that unbearable waiting. Fighting breast cancer is my passion. As a former executive of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and a 10-year volunteer, I understand how important this centre is. For so many, it will be the difference between life and death.

  • 16. 152012 REPORT TO DONORS Unleashing MRI After leading research to show magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best way to detect breast cancer in women at high risk for the disease, Sunnybrook’s experts are now focused on getting the technology widely used in screening – to save more lives through early detection. That’s where Dr. Anne Martel, a senior scientist at Sunnybrook Research Institute, comes in. “We’ve already developed a unique database of MRI breast screening images and are using this to ‘train’ a computer system to find abnormalities in the images and decide whether these are cancer,” says Dr. Martel, whose complex research in computer-aided detection has received funding from the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. With greater sensitivity than other imaging technologies, MRI picks up hard-to-see abnormalities. However, it also detects spots not worth worrying about. Through computer-aided detection, Dr. Martel aims to address this and other MRI-related challenges. These include the relative ease with which humans can analyze mammography images versus MRI scans. By creating software that can quickly scrutinize MRI scans and pinpoint possible tumours, Dr. Martel says radiologists will be better able to unleash the full potential of MRI. In doing so, the software promises to save lives by helping find breast cancer earlier. Odette Cancer Centre Louise Temerty Breast Cancer Centre Innovation

  • 18. TONY MELMAN SAW HIS HEART FLATLINE – TWICE. Both times he took pictures of the monitor with his iPhone. Thanks to the cardiac team at Sunnybrook, Tony lived to tell the story of his near-death experience in June last year and how his healthy normal life was restored. “I received fantastic care at Sunnybrook. The doctors and nurses were so attentive,” he says. “It was a rebirth experience – I could have been dead. I feel like I’ve got a new lease on life.” Tony is a fit 65-year-old. For more than 30 years, he has had a three- hour daily workout routine that starts around 4:30 a.m. Last June, the “Superman,” as his friends call him, collapsed in his gym. “The feeling started out with a warm blanket covering me – it was a good feeling. Then it was completely silent, like heavenly quiet,” Tony recalls. “I felt myself falling gently into this darkness.” After Tony regained consciousness from the adrenalin rush caused by his fall, his wife took him to Sunnybrook, where it was discovered that his heart continued to stop many times for 12 to 15 seconds. He was then given an emergency pacemaker in a late night operation. “The doctors told me I’ve got a turbo- charged heart, but I blew my electrical system,” he says. “My wife and I hugged and I burst out crying. I wasn’t sure if I was going to see her again.” Tony not only saw his wife again, he was back to his fitness schedule in a matter of days, after being fitted with a pacemaker. “I feel so lucky that I’m here,” he says. “I feel great, take no medication except for a daily baby aspirin and after 30 years of being a vegetarian, I am now eating animal protein to enhance my health even more. Sunnybrook has certainly revitalized my life and taken me to a new level.” To say thank you, Tony hosted the launch of Sunnybrook’s Dine & Discover, a fundraising program in support of research here. “It was a rebirth experience – I could have been dead.

For Tony, that personal connection is his father, Paul, 77, who suffered a heart attack last September. After being taken to a local hospital, Paul was transferred to Sunnybrook for a complex bypass surgery. “They were great with him – they saved his life,” Tony says. “No one wants to spend time in a hospital, but it was a nice experience. It’s a nice building and the care we received was amazing from all nurses and doctors. I only have positive stories to tell.” At first, the Pampena family was concerned when Paul was admitted to the hospital. “We had no understanding why or how this happened – we never thought he had all those complications with his heart,” Tony says. Once doctors explained in detail everything that was going on and what the next step was going to be, “all his concerns were always answered,” Tony adds. “The entire Sunnybrook team was very helpful and guided us step by step through my father’s recovery.” The Pampena family has since made a generous $25,000 gift to the Schulich Heart Centre to name the Pampena Family Medication Station, located in the state- of-the-art Dr. Brian W. Gilbert Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. Dr. Gilbert was Paul’s cardiologist. “My father appears to be recovering and getting back to the activities and exercises he loves, such as walking and landscaping,” Tony says.

  • 20. A new life-saving view of patients’ hearts is “a dream come true” for Sunnybrook scientists. Thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine – one of the world’s first equipped to provide information about the inner workings of a patient’s heart cells. “We will now be able to tell if the metabolism inside the heart cells is in a normal state or a diseased state,” says Dr. Charles Cunningham, a physicist in the Schulich Heart Research Program. “It’s aimed at finding patients with the highest risk for death from heart failure and to treat them before it’s too late.” The mortality rate due to heart failure in the years following a heart attack or other heart injury is high, with 30 to 40 per cent of people diagnosed with heart failure dying within one year. Dr. Cunningham has been developing a new imaging method that’s showing great promise as a tool in the management of these patients. Using the new $2-million system – known as metabolic MRI – scientists can make images of the metabolism in the heart muscle, capturing chemical reactions as they occur. “We don’t know what we are going to find,” Dr. Cunningham says. “But it’s a dream come true. This has the potential to change the way we manage patients with heart failure.

At 1 a.m. March 14, 2012, Michael was the victim of a hit-and-run outside his home, with the impact crushing one of his vertebrae. Just four hours later, he was being operated on at Sunnybrook. “The doctors had to, as they put it, ‘hammer it back into place,’” he says. “They told me they’d never seen anything like this before.” Six weeks later, Michael took his first step at Sunnybrook. “I was very happy and frustrated at the same time,” he recalls. “I know how to walk, but my body forgot how. Just taking two steps was very difficult.” In June, Michael walked out of rehab. He’s now walking with the aid of an urban pole (similar to a ski pole) and looking forward to returning to teaching in September. He credits Sunnybrook neurosurgeons, Drs. Nicolas Phan and Safraz Mohammed, for getting him back on his feet. “They were absolutely amazing,” says Michael, who recently donated $1,500 to Sunnybrook in honour of Dr. Phan. “Dr. Mohammed would say, ‘You are not a special case, you’ll be fine.’ And I am.” Holland Musculoskeletal Program Patient feature story 20 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION

Searching online for a solution to her painful uterine fibroids, Kristin stumbled upon an experimental procedure still in the research stage at Sunnybrook. The non-invasive treatment offered an alternative to myomectomy, surgery to remove the fibroids, or hysterectomy, which leaves the woman in-fertile, and meant she could return to her routine the next day. “It was very exciting to be part of this trial because it is going to change the lives of women forever,” says Kristin. “It just really made sense to me to participate.” Indeed, the treatment, which involves MRI-guided high- intensity focused ultrasound, has shown promising results in the 19 patients at Sunnybrook so far. Dr. Elizabeth David, the study’s principal investi- gator, says she’s confident it will become standard treatment with a few tweaks and adjustments. “There is no incision, no scarring and very little post- operative care. It’s truly non-invasive, where every- thing else is really minimally invasive,” says Dr. David. “HIFU doesn’t even involve a needle.” “It was wonderful to be back to my normal routine the next day,” Kristin says, adding she noticed a reduction of abdominal discomfort immediately. “I had the treat- ment, and went home to a nice dinner with my family.” A groundbreaking experimental procedure leaves Kristin Gardner pain-free.

The image helps illustrate groundbreaking research by Dr. Gregory Czarnota, a Sunnybrook radiation oncologist who is manipulating tiny gas-filled bubbles to improve cancer treatment. Dr. Czarnota is the first in the world to show microbubbles within imaging contrast agents can be used to magnify the cancer-killing power of radiation. In early stage testing, he is using microbubbles and focused ultrasound to make locally advanced breast cancer more responsive to chemotherapy and radiation. “Contrast agents and the tiny bubbles within them help us see cancer better. By agitating the microbubbles with focused ultrasound and causing them to bounce around within the blood vessels of a tumour, we can ultimately damage the cancer cells and make them much more susceptible to radiation and drug treatments,” Dr. Czarnota says. “This means far less radiation is needed to achieve the same results.” Locally advanced breast cancer has an extremely high mortality rate within two years of diagnosis. Our leading- edge microbubble research, which has received a $1-million boost from the Breast Cancer Society of Canada, offers hope to future patients facing the disease. “The organization’s support will allow us to scale up these treatments, moving them out of the laboratory and into breast cancer patients in the next three to five years,” Dr. Czarnota notes.

  • 26. Anna Leibenko was stranded on life support in Croatia last summer after she slipped off a three-metre-high catamaran, hitting her head on the ledge and plunging into the Adriatic Sea unconsciously. Today, the 24- year-old former Toronto Argos cheerleader is continuing her miraculous recovery in rehab – but has no memory of the accident. Her brother, Artem Leibenko, recalls how Sunnybrook came to Anna’s rescue: It was 3 a.m. when our mother got the call from Croatia. It was from one of Anna’s friends; they were travelling together on a month-long vacation. They said not to worry, but later, an English-speaking doctor from Split, Croatia told me she suffered multiple head and facial fractures, concussions, internal brain bleeding, and was in a coma with a broken nose. I was shocked. Anna didn’t have travel insurance. We made a public plea to raise money to cover her massive health-care bills and a $93,550 fee to transport her home by air ambulance. Thanks to everyone who helped, she arrived at Sunnybrook in early September. I couldn’t bear to see her hooked up to a machine. It was heartbreaking. Anna remained in a coma at Sunnybrook. Doctors didn’t know if she was going to wake up. After two weeks, she was taken off the ventilator and she opened her eyes. We didn’t know if she was responsive. She was just lying there, wasn’t talking. When she did speak at first, it was gibberish. But soon, my sister was talking again, telling me plans for once she got out of the hospital. Sunnybrook specializes in trauma and we are so grateful for the excellent care she received here. She can now keep a normal conversation.

Sunnybrook received the serious- ly injured, but we were ready for it – thanks to donor support that doubled our trauma capacity. Dr. Homer Tien, medical director of the Tory Regional Trauma Centre, the largest in Canada, recounts how Sunnybrook’s experts coped with this incident: I was home when I got a call from my resident. He said, “We just got word there might be 10 to 20 gunshot-wound patients en route.” It was the type of call I might expect during one of my tours in Afghanistan as a trauma surgeon with the Canadian military, but not here in Toronto. “You’re kidding, right?” I replied. I live across the street from Sunnybrook. By the time I got in five minutes later, we had more information: two were dead at the scene and five to 10 victims were coming to Sunnybrook. We activated Code Orange, the code for mass casualties. It was the largest number of gunshot wound victims I had ever treated in the shortest period of time. Six patients with gunshot wounds arrived within 15 minutes. About 70 to 100 staff worked that night related to the shooting, including two staff surgeons and two fellows, who operated on the patients. The great thing about Sunnybrook is that trauma is one of our key strategic programs, and so, the whole hospital thinks “trauma.” Hospital staff were all volunteering to stay past the end of their shifts to help with these patients. That incident resonated with people in a way that they said, “Yes, this is why we are here,” and there was a confidence that we can do things here that no one else can do. Everyone knew: “OK, it’s time to get our game face on, because this is what we do best.” And because of our generous donors, our staff had the space and capacity to deal effectively with these patients. It was a great team effort.

  • 34. 332012 REPORT TO DONORS Nature knows best when it comes to delivering twins. So says an international study led by researchers in our Women & Babies Program. It found that vaginal birth of twins is just as safe as C-section– a result that could reverse birthing trends around the world. “The perception is that C-section may be safer for the baby, but the Twin Birth Study has proved this is not true. The evidence is clear that C-section for twins is not the best plan,” says Dr. Jon Barrett, chief of Sunnybrook’s Maternal Fetal Medicine and the nine-year study’s lead investigator. “Women expecting twins should be encouraged to plan for a vaginal birth, provided that an obstetrician, experienced in twin vaginal births, will be available at delivery.” The best method of delivering twins has been controversial, with planned C-section gaining support in recent years. However, the Twin Birth Study found no significant difference in outcome between natural birth and C-section, the latter previously believed to have lower risk associated with birth trauma or death. The study also found that women who planned for C-section delivered earlier than those who planned for vaginal birth. Twins are at significant higher risk of complications around the time of labour and birth than singletons, and the number of twin births has increased by at least 40 per cent over the last decade due to in vitro fertilization. “There’s a trend for C-section generally, and this may have implications for the mother’s next pregnancy,” Dr. Barrett says. “We hope the results from our study will change dramatically the way twins are delivered worldwide. It will hopefully reverse the trend and prompt the need for more training for vaginal births.” A Clear View of the C Women & Babies Innovation

Sunnybrook has a strong community presence — and that too is reflected in the pages of the press. In features in Canada’s daily newspapers about a psychiatric nurse retiring after 40 years, our Bay Street Grand Prix kart- racing extravaganza in down- town Toronto and the Stanley Cup’s visit to our Veterans Centre, for example, the Sunnybrook story is being told.
  • 37. A TRIBUTE TO OUR FRIEND Edmond Odette, c.m. A true Sunnybrook champion and a leading Canadian philanthropist, Edmond G. Odette passed away November 17, 2012 at the age of 86. Mr. Odette and his wife Gloria, who predeceased him, made a landmark gift to Sunnybrook’s cancer care and research in 2007, which was celebrated with the naming of the Edmond Odette Cancer Centre. “Mr. and Mrs. Odette’s generosity has been essential in allowing Sunnybrook to build advanced facilities, purchase leading-edge equipment, attract talented medical professionals and pioneer the treatments of tomorrow,” says Dr. Barry McLellan, Sunnybrook’s president and CEO. Their philanthropic vision was characterized by a keen interest in the projects they supported. “Ed was so engaged when it came to the care provided to Sunnybrook patients. We would sit and chat in my office, discussing a vision for the future. I’ll miss those one-on-one experiences,” says Dr. Andy Smith, chief of the Odette Cancer Centre. Mr. Odette, a Member of the Order of Canada, aided many aspects of Sunnybrook’s cancer care, including the recent modernization and expansion of the centre’s Chemotherapy Unit and Gloria Odette Pharmacy. The family’s generosity has impacted many Sunnybrook patients over the years in a wide range of program areas, including heart, orthopedics and imaging. “Mr. Odette demonstrated the importance of community support in advancing health- care services. Without the Odettes’ support, we simply would not be able to deliver some of our most innovative care,” says Dr. Jon S. Dellandrea, Sunnybrook Foundation president and CEO. 36 SUNNYBROOK FOUNDATION
