Our new president and CEO, Tracey MacArthur has spent her first week and a half getting to know us. Here's what she's learned so far.

Our evaluation of the real-time medical interpreta

Our evaluation of the real-time medical interpretation services from Voyce has been a huge success! At the click of a button, patients, nurses, and doctors can access a medically qualified human interpreter through Voyce devices. This offers profound benefits including improved patient comprehension, satisfaction, and outcomes.

“We aim to have Voyce in all patient-facing areas across HHS,” said Tim Dietrich, Vice President, Quality and Performance at Hamilton Health Sciences. “It is currently available in all in-patient, emergency and diagnostic imaging areas, and we are planning for implementation in all ambulatory settings. So far, our teams and patients have utilized Voyce more than 9,000 times accessing 85 distinct languages and dialects.”

13-year old Elizabeth received an unexpected diagn

13-year old Elizabeth received an unexpected diagnosis of scoliosis that threatened her active lifestyle and passion for dance.

Once referred to our McMaster Children's Hospital, her surgeon wanted to perform an ApiFix surgery, which uses a rod that can lengthen as the spine grows. This offers increased mobility and the ability for the spine to rotate.

Timing is important for the operation, so Elizabeth and her family were concerned that surgery wait times would impact the narrow window of opportunity.

Fortunately, thanks to a historic provincial investment, wait times have been reduced to help kids like Elizabeth receive the life-changing surgeries they need when they need it to have the best outcomes.

Elizabeth's surgery was successful and she returned to competitive dance last month. Her story is nothing short of inspirational.

Watch her perform and hear more at @mcmasterchildrens.

🌎Happy Earth Day! Since the nature of our indus

🌎Happy Earth Day! Since the nature of our industry produces high volumes of waste, we're making a conscious effort to reduce our impact on the environment. ♻️ Last year we recycled 1,456 metric tonnes of plastics, paper, cardboard and metals. This is equivalent to 12 blue whales, the largest mammal on earth.🐳
