Angela Sage has high praise for the Hamilton Healt

Angela Sage has high praise for the Hamilton Health Sciences teams that made it possible for her to go from a wheelchair to walking again in just a few weeks.

After months of searching for the cause of debilitating lower back pain and weakness in her legs that robbed her of her ability to walk, Angela was referred to the Musculoskeletal Central Intake and Assessment Centre at our Hamilton General Hospital.

She was quickly assessed, sent for an MRI that day, diagnosed with a tumour in her upper back that was benign, and booked for surgery. Several weeks of building back strength followed at our Regional Rehabilitation Centre.

“I’ve really come a long way, from struggling to take a step to once again walking,” says Angela. “They gave me my future back.”

Today, our flags are lowered and orange lights dis

Today, our flags are lowered and orange lights displayed at our @mcmasterchildrens to honour the Indigenous children who attended residential schools.

Also, the Every Child Matters flags that were part of a smudging ceremony earlier this month are now permanently installed at our main sites as symbols of remembrance and reconciliation.

“Creating space for these flags at HHS is an important step towards reconciliACTION,” said Stephenie Rowe-Jansz, the Indigenous project coordinator for the Regional Cancer Program based at HHS. “I hope that seeing the flags at our sites will bring comfort to Indigenous patients and families, and will remind non-Indigenous folks about the importance of learning more about the history of residential schools and how they can support survivors.”

Stephenie is pictured here on the left with Deena Klodt, Indigenous patient navigator for the Regional Cancer Program based at HHS, on the right.

For Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth an

For Orange Shirt Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation we'd like to remind our community of the dedicated Indigenous healing spaces we're working on creating at our hospital sites. These are intended to be safe spaces where Indigenous staff, patients and family members can experience peace, ceremonial healing and comfort, as well as a quiet space for all to learn about Indigenous culture.

This space at our McMaster Children's Hospital is already available. Makayla’s Room, shown in this picture was created in honour of patient Makayla Sault, with the support of her parents and Indigenous community leaders. We encourage staff, physicians, volunteers, patients and families to visit this space for some quiet learning and reflection of Indigenous culture.

We recently held a very special celebration for a

We recently held a very special celebration for a long-serving volunteer, Ruby Halliday, who has dedicated 13 years and over 2000 hours to volunteering at HHS. ✨ Ruby started off her career with us in 1973 when she was a secretary in the Department of Medicine at the Chedoke-McMaster Hospital, which is now known as McMaster University Medical Centre. After working in multiple positions over the years, she retired in 2011 but decided to stay a part of the HHS family, and began volunteering. 🙋‍♀️

Ruby was given a special shout-out from her team at the Boris Clinic where she volunteers, and given flowers for being selected to receive the Life Membership Award. 💝 Our Volunteer Association team nominated Ruby to win this award because of her many years of service and the training she provides to other volunteers.

Thank you for continuing to share your friendly smile with all our visitors entering the building, and guiding them when they need help. 🎉 Congratulations Ruby!
