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.🐳

Wedding bells were in the air yesterday at St. Pet

Wedding bells were in the air yesterday at St. Peter’s Hospital. 🔔 Marc, a palliative care patient, and his lovely bride, Robin, tied the knot in a beautiful and intimate ceremony in the hospital chapel. 💒 This special day was made possible by our fantastic team on the palliative care unit. Congratulations, Marc and Robin! 👰‍♂️🤵‍♂️

This morning, we were pleased to welcome Ontario’s Deputy Premier and Minister of Health Sylvia Jones to our Hamilton General Hospital site during National Medical Laboratory Professionals Week for a tour of two critical labs.

Hamilton Health Sciences’ Board Chair Keith Monrose, CEO Tracey MacArthur, and the laboratory team were joined by Michelle Hoad, CEO of the Medical Laboratory Professionals' Association of Ontario, to proudly demonstrate the exceptional work of HHS’ medical laboratory staff and the vital role they play in delivering care for patients in Hamilton and our region.
