We were reminded last night that Ontario hospitals live in very different realities from each other. When University Health Network CEO Bob Bell has a casual chat with Health Minister Deb Matthews, it is a very different reality from that experienced by many regional hospital CEOs.
Last night’s occasion: the annual general meeting of the Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation – one of several foundations associated with the Toronto University Health Network (UHN).
This is a foundation that has successfully recruited from the city’s “high value” donors and pulled in a staggering $75.9 million dollars in 2012-13. Most of that money will be put towards cutting edge research that is producing laudable results.
