2011 - 2012ANNUAL REPORT

A year ago, we set a new vision to be an exceptional community hospital – to set standards and exceed your expectations.

As Tri-Board Chairs and CEO, it is comforting to know we have a local hospital with highly-skilled, compassionate people who do their best, every day, every week, and every year, to give care to those who need it most.

We know we are living our vision at Chatham-Kent Health Alliance as we see and hear remarkable examples.

We will... lead CKHA to always strive to achieve the best from our hospital for our patients and our community.

Across CKHA, we think it is important to offer seamless, compassionate, patient and family centred care to our patients. Because of this philosophy, we have an overall patient satisfaction rate of 94%.

With nurses like Maureen, who believe in quality and excellence of care, our Ambulatory Care Department is an impressive display of teamwork and compassion.

I will…continue to deliver the very best compassionate care to my patients.

I have... been a bridge for patients

PatientsPatientsMessage from Chairs & CEOMessage from Chairs & CEO

Maureen Apers, Registered Nurse, delivers compassionate, quality care to her patients.

Employees want to make a difference to patients, within their teams and for our hospital. They want to give feedback, be heard and contribute – they want to make positive changes at CKHA. Quality improvement starts with employees like Sarah in Central Sterile Reprocessing, who signs off on her work everyday and is empowered in her role.

At CKHA, a culture of empowerment is transformational. It is an important element in delivering compassionate high-quality care.

I will… continue to help build a better CKHA.

I have... been accountable to patients & colleagues at CKHA

On Saturday, December 10, 2011, the Foundation of CKHA hosted its 1st Annual Charity Curling Classic – Sweep for Sydenham at the Sydenham Community Curling Club in Wallaceburg. Twelve teams of four participated in this event and helped raise $6,000, through pledges, a 50/50 Draw and a silent auction, to support the purchase of new x-ray equipment for CKHA’s Sydenham Campus.

A new signature event, the Foundation of CKHA’s 1st Annual Charity Curling Classic featured two games of curling, lunch, dinner and great prizes. All participants were asked to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges for this event in support of the purchase of the new x-ray equipment.

“We are thrilled with the response we received for this new event,” says Michele Grzebien, Executive Director, Foundation of CKHA. “Not only did we raise much-needed funds to support Diagnostic Imaging at CKHA’s Sydenham Campus, but we also had the opportunity to once again connect with our supporters in Wallaceburg. All in all, it was a great day and we are looking forward to hosting the 2nd Annual Charity Curling Classic on Saturday, February 9, 2013.”
