How to Contact Us 

Top: Mairaed Nicholls is one of hundreds in our community who comes to the hospital for dialysis treatment three times per 

week. Dialysis is a life-prolonging process for those whose kidneys are permanently impaired. It removes toxic materials from the 

bloodstream, maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. Your donations purchased four Renal Dialysis Machines at a cost of 

$31,000 each. 

Bottom Left: Don Mertes was one of many patients who required a cardiac monitor during his recent stay at our hospital. The 

monitors are vital to monitor a patient’s breathing, heart rate and rhythm, and blood flow. Your donations purchased more than 

16 Cardiac Monitors at a cost in excess of $25,000 each. 

Bottom Centre: Linda Ervin was a patient of the Sault Area Hospital whom required the special capabilities provided by the 

Bariatric Shower and Tilting Wheelchair. Designed to accommodate the special needs of patients who are severely limited in their 

movement, they increase patient convenience and comfort. Your donations purchased a Bariatric Shower and Tilting 

Wheelchair at a cost of $9,055. 

Bottom Right: Tom Chevrier is one of numerous cancer patients in our community who has learned of the benefits of a 

chemotherapy Infusion Pump from Carol Allard, RN, Algoma Regional Cancer Care Program. The pump allows for a supply of a 

controlled amount of drugs very slowly into the bloodstream over an extended period of time. Proceeds from the 2003 Gift Gala & 

Auction allowed the Foundation to purchase eight Infusion Pumps at a cost of $5,600 each.

Annual Report 2003-2004 

Message from James Melville, Board President 

& Cheryl Pavoni, Executive Director 

For most of us, a hospital is of little concern until we, 

or a friend or family member, needs it. The hospital 

then becomes the focus of our lives – a place to find 

the care and support we require. The impact on 

patient care afforded by the new equipment and 

facility renovations funded through the Sault Area 

Hospital Foundation really does make a difference in 

the lives of those who come through our hospital doors. 

This Annual Report is our way of reporting to you, 

our donors, on the successes of last year, which were 

largely a result of your generosity. It highlights key 

accomplishments of the past year and is a way of 

ensuring that the community is aware of both our 

progress and needs. We also use this medium to 

publicly recognize donors who made gifts of $100 or 

more during the fiscal year April 1, 2003 - March 31, 

2004, unless they wish to remain anonymous. 

During the past year, the Foundation has provided 

over $775,000 to Sault Area Hospital for the purchase 

of urgently needed medical equipment (See page 2 

for list and further information). More than 15,000 

donors gave their support to the Foundation this 

past year! 

Although the government provides the basics in 

healthcare, these basics do not cover the cost of all 

of our new medical equipment needs. The cost of 

new equipment and upgrades or the replacement 

of existing equipment has always been shared

between the government and the community. While 

much of the Foundation’s focus is on equipment and 

funding, people are at the heart of what we do - 

people like you and your families, your friends and

we tell you that we are proud to be part of this 

worthwhile endeavor. 

With this annual report we want to continue building 

our relationship with you, our most loyal and 

generous friends. By reporting to you on our 

progress, we demonstrate accountability, an essential 

ingredient in building trust. 

In closing, we would like to take this opportunity to 

thank our Foundation Board of Directors, volunteers 

and hospital staff for their work and commitment to 

our patients and donors. In addition, we extend our 

heartfelt thanks to all of you who have supported the 

Sault Area Hospital over the past year.

Every purchase represents an improvement 

in health care at our hospital – thanks to the 

generosity of donors like you! 

The process of determining the amount of funds that 

will be allocated within a fiscal year (April 1 st to 

March 31 st ) and the lists of equipment items and 

projects that will be purchased is called the Capital 

Planning Process. 

The following is a general overview of how the 

process works - in essence, how donor dollars become 

medical equipment for patient care. 

Funding Allocation 

Both the Hospital and Foundation Board of Directors 

establish the total amount of funds that each can 

allocate for the fiscal year’s equipment purchases and 

renovation/building projects. 

Equipment Needs 

Each of the hospital’s Department and Program 

Managers consult with their staff to identify and 

prioritize their equipment needs for the following 

year and then submit them to the Capital Review 

Committee. 

The Capital Review Process 

The Capital Review Process involves a review of all 

requests from each of the departments and ranking 

them from a highest to lowest need according to 

hospital-wide priorities. From this process comes 

the major and minor equipment lists. 

Items and projects that have a value of more than 

$2,500 are considered major capital equipment and 

items and projects that have a value of less than 

$2,500 are considered minor capital equipment. 

Purchase Overview

The Capital Planning Process: 

From Donor Dollars to Medical Equipment! 

Important Considerations 

There are a number of critical and strategic criteria 

that are considered during the Capital Planning 

Process when determining hospital priorities: 

• degrees to which quality of care or operations 

will be improved 

• services to our patients will be improved 

• risk for patients will be reduced 

• potential to serve the largest customer base 

• how the request is linked to the Hospital’s 

Strategic Plan & Corporate Goals 

• urgency of need 

• patient and staff health and safety risks 

• condition of the existing equipment 

Unfortunately, the total number of requests received 

in a fiscal year always greatly exceeds the funds 

available therefore, virtually every department and 

program will have some requests that are not 

purchased. 

Conclusion 

The Sault Area Hospital Foundation’s Board of 

Directors disbursed more than $775,000 for the 

2003-2004 fiscal year towards the purchase of 

specific items from the Major and Minor Capital 

Equipment Lists. 

As a donor, you can feel confident in knowing that the 

hospital’s Capital Planning Process demonstrates an 

effective management of resources with clear lines of 

responsibility and accountability for the management 

of capital assets.

Norm Sauve — SAHF Can Bank On His Support 

In 1996, Norm Sauve was searching for a volunteer 

opportunity. The Sault Area Hospital Foundation is 

grateful Norm told former director, Judge James 

Greco, of his quest. 

“I mentioned to him that I was interested in getting 

involved in some type of Board or volunteer work,” 

Norm recalls. “Judge Greco recommended me to the 

Board because of my activity in banking. I went to a 

couple of the meetings as a guest and realized that I 

was definitely very interested in becoming involved.” 

Norm is Manager of Professional Banking at the RBC 

Business Banking office in Sault Ste. Marie. 

He became a director on the former General Hospital 

Foundation Board in September 1996 and is now a 

member of the SAHF. 

Over the years, Norm has also assisted in human 

resources management and participated in hiring 

committees when Foundation job vacancies have been 

created. He was also instrumental in the redrafted 

investment policy. 

Norm is delighted at the level of support the 

Foundation has been able to mount for the Sault Area 

Hospital, particularly over the last five years with 

specific campaigns - raising funds for much-needed 

equipment such as cardiac monitors. 

“I think the Board is open to a lot of new ideas 

which is very important,” he says. “Introducing 

the Gift Gala & Auction was an exceptional and 

extraordinary event for Sault Ste. Marie,” Norm 

adds of the initiative, which made its debut in the 

community in 2002, to raise funds for improved 

cancer care facilities. 

Norm is delighted to be part of a strong board of 

directors and the resulting success. 

“The directors have been with the Foundation for 

quite a while. They want to build on their community, 

build on their strengths and help wherever they can.” 

Norm’s other volunteer efforts have assisted the Rotary, 

the Sault Ste. Marie Physician Recruitment & 

Retention Committee, Easter Seals, and his church, 

St. Jerome’s Parish. 

“I try to help wherever and whenever I can,” he says. 

Director Profile 

“I get a real good feeling when I walk into 

a room near the Cancer Unit or the 

Dialysis Unit and see the people using the 

services and how appreciative they and 

their families are of what we are doing and 

have accomplished. ” Norm Sauve 

“The biggest time consumer right now in my life is 

my granddaughter, Alyssandra,” he chuckles. 

Outside interests include golf - a must in banking, he 

laughs. Norm is also a long-time YMCA member. 

He credits his family for enabling him to pursue 

volunteer activities extensively. 

“I wouldn’t be able to be so involved in the 

community if I didn’t have the support from my wife, 

Elaine,” he says. “She supports everything that I do, 

regardless of the amount of time that my professional 

and volunteer commitments require me to spend away 

from home.” 

The couple has two daughters - Jocelyne and 

Michelle - who also get involved and help where 

they can. 

SAHF staff appreciate Norm’s contributions. 

“Norm is a very active member of our Board of 

Directors,” says Cheryl Pavoni, SAHF Executive 

Director. “He is supportive in many ways, including 

participating in cheque presentations and speaking at 

functions such as our Algoma Regional Cancer 

Program open house.” 

“The highlight of volunteering for the SAHF is when 

I attend the appreciation events,” Norm explains. “I 

get to see the people that are being directly affected 

by what we are doing. I get a real good feeling when I 

walk into a room near the Cancer Unit or the Dialysis 

Unit and see the people using the services and how 

appreciative they and their families are of what we are 

doing and have accomplished. 

“The doctors always support what we are doing. They 

are appreciative of not just the money but also the 

time, the effort, the ideas, and everything that is 

involved with the Foundation. I am pleased to be able 

to give my time and effort as a way of saying ‘Thank 

You’ back to them and to all of the healthcare workers 

in Algoma who do such a wonderful job for us.”

Service Club Profile 

Les Chevaliers de Colomb Conseil des Grands 

Lacs #7999 has made several generous 

contributions to the Sault Area Hospital. Its most 

recent donation of $25,000 was toward the 

purchase of much-needed cardiac monitors. 

The Council raised the funds for the stateof-the-art 

equipment over a three-year 

period through suppers, weekly bingos and 

other events. 

As a group dedicated to supporting 

Francophone, Catholic and other local 

community organizations, the Council focuses 

mainly on initiatives in Sault Ste. Marie and the 

Algoma District. 

“We are pleased to contribute to such a worthy 

cause as this,” says Grand Knight Paul 

Montgrain. “By assisting the hospital in 

acquiring this new technology, we can help all 

area residents who may need this equipment.” 

Cardiac monitors are life-saving devices used to 

track patients’ heartbeats and several other vital 

factors, including blood pressure, blood oxygen 

levels and pressures in various heart chambers. 

New cardiac monitors benefit the whole team of 

Our Knights in Shining Armour 

healthcare professionals, allowing doctors 

and nurses to save valuable time to invest in 

their patients. 

Claude Marleau, Council member and former 

Grand Knight, initiated the campaign to support 

the purchase of the units after being a patient at 

SAH and requiring the use of the equipment. 

“Claude informed us of the hospital’s great need 

for these monitors,” says Éloi Payeur, Council 

member and former Grand Knight. “Once we 

learned of the situation, we organized a plan to 

raise the money for this initiative.” 

Les Chevaliers de Colomb Conseil des Grands 

Lacs #7999 also contributes to numerous other 

local groups including, the Soup Kitchen, the 

Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks 

oncology van program, Christmas Cheer, House 

of Hope, and Women in Crisis. 

“It is important we support organizations that 

provide vital services to the entire community, 

like the Hospital,” says Paul. “We look forward 

to continuing to make a difference in the Sault 

and area.”

Thank You for Your Support! 

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the dedicated 

and ongoing support of three very special volunteer groups: 

Matthews Memorial Hospital Auxiliary 

Sault Area Hospital Volunteer Association 

Thessalon Hospital Auxiliary 

Within these three organizations are countless volunteers who work 

tirelessly and diligently throughout the year hosting various events 

such as Annual Teas & Luncheons, Draws & Raffles, Community 

Night and Bakes Sales and selling Break Open Tickets to raise funds 

for patient equipment. 

The Sault Area Hospital Volunteer Association also donates proceeds 

from their Gift Shops and Coffee Kiosks located at both the Plummer 

and General Sites. 

Their commitment to helping to build and strengthen healthcare in 

Algoma benefits all of us!

We have made every effort to ensure that all donors who have given $100 or more to the Sault Area Hospital 

between April 1, 2003 and March 31, 2004 have been recognized in this Annual Report. 

We apologize for, and ask that you notify our office, of any errors or omissions. 

While donor recognition in our Annual Reports is based on the total amount of donations during a single fiscal 

year, the donor recognition plaques that are placed on our “Beacon of Hope Wall” are based on a donor’s lifetime, 

cumulative giving (of $1,000 or more). Similarly, while our In Loving Memory recognition page is based on 

donations made in memory within a single fiscal year, the In Memoriam plaques that are placed on our 

“Celebration of Life Wall” are based on cumulative in memory donations (of $1,000 or more).

“When my mother was in the hospital, she loved to 

take a walk past the donor plaques and read the 

names. She was so thankful for their generosity. She 

always wished she could somehow repay the great 

care she had received. This is our way of honouring 

her wish and at the same time helping to ensure 

there is a future in our children’s healthcare. This is 

why we chose to join the Friends Forever Monthly 

Giving Program. Our belief is “Every bit helps”.

An In Honour donation, for some people, is a way to recognize or celebrate a special occasion in the life of a 

family member, friend or colleague. For others, it is a way to say thank you or to express a deep regard for 

someone. 

Whatever the reason, it is a special and lasting way to pay tribute to someone.

Pacesetter Profile 

“RBC Financial Group has been serving Sault Ste. Marie 

and the Algoma District for 104 years now. We remain 

committed to giving back to the communities in which we 

work and live.” 

-Algoma Region Sales and Market Manager Steve Nixon 

“We are proud to be a lead Pacesetter for the Sault Area 

Hospital Foundation this year with our donation of 

$10,000,” Steve says. “This is just one way we are 

helping to support the important work being done in our 

area hospital.” 

RBC recognizes that it’s crucial for community, 

government and corporate partners to work together to 

build a brighter tomorrow for the hospital, he adds. 

RBC is an ongoing supporter of the Sault Area 

Hospital Foundation, contributing nearly $40,000 

over the years. This includes $15,000 towards its 

annual Gift Gala & Auction. 

Giving back to the community is a fundamental value that 

RBC employees share, as demonstrated in annual 

fundraising initiatives spearheaded by local branches 

throughout the year. 

RBC believes in focusing its community investments on 

building partnerships, not simply writing cheques. Ideally 

it aims to combine donations, branch fundraising 

initiatives, volunteer assistance, and in-kind resources and 

services to support community organizations. It believes a 

broader perspective and approach is the most effective 

way to have a positive impact on people’s lives. 

RBC continues to play a leadership role as a good 

corporate citizen. In 2003, the company was recognized 

in a national survey commissioned by the Globe & Mail, 

RBC Investing In Its Communities 

as Canada’s Most Respected Corporation. It was also 

named the top corporate social responsibility organization 

in Canada for the seventh consecutive year. This 

prestigious recognition includes such activities as 

charitable giving, employee volunteerism, sponsorships, 

community involvement, corporate governance, and 

ethical business practices. 

Supporting healthcare remains a top priority for RBC, and 

it takes special pride in knowing that several employees 

volunteer time to the Sault Area Hospital. RBC Financial 

Group’s Employee Volunteer Grants Program allows staff 

and retirees who volunteer more than 40 hours per year to 

apply for a $500 grant for their charitable organization. 

Through this new program, $1,500 in grants has already 

been donated to the Sault Area Hospital Foundation, two 

of which are to acknowledge the efforts of RBC retiree 

Rollande Pelletier. 

RBC is also quite proud of the efforts of Norm Sauve, 

Manager of Professional Banking at the Algoma Business 

Banking Centre. Norm served seven years on the General 

Hospital Foundation Board of Directors prior to its 

amalgamation with the Plummer Memorial Public 

Hospital Foundation Board in 2002. Norm continues to 

offer his energy and expertise to the SAHF Board. 

RBC Financial Group is excited to be a part of the 

Algoma District’s spirit of partnership and is proud to 

support medical research, technology, healthcare 

associations, and hospitals across Canada, Steve states. 

“As one of Canada’s largest corporate donors, RBC feels 

contributions to organizations, like the Sault Area 

Hospital Foundation, are investments in our future.”

CN Has Outstanding Track Record of Community Support 

The familiar CN logo represents Canada’s largest 

railroad, but it could also stand for “Community 

Needs” because that is what CN is helping to meet in 

the Sault and area. 

As is customary when appealing to a large business, 

the Sault Area Hospital Foundation submitted a 

formal request to CN’s Community Investment 

Program, hoping to secure funding to purchase a 

cardiac monitor. 

Our submission – just one of the thousands CN 

receives each year – was reviewed and, in less than 

two months, we received a cheque for $25,000! 

“We try to make good decisions quickly,” says Ian 

Thomson, Director, Communications. “As a leading 

North American freight transportation company, we 

are committed to helping build safer, stronger 

communities where our employees live and work.” 

Meeting community needs is certainly nothing new to 

CN. The railway has a long tradition of supporting 

charitable organizations. 

For nearly 100 years, this concerned, corporate citizen 

has fostered solid relationships with the hundreds of 

communities through which its trains pass. In addition 

to making cash donations, CN donates the 

transportation of goods, office space, and the expertise 

of its people. 

For the past five years, CN has transported more than 

30,000 donated computers to schools across Canada 

through the Computers for Schools program. 

CN sets a fine example for its employees whom it 

encourages to also get involved in their communities. 

The railway recognizes the efforts of employees who 

are involved in their community through its 

“President’s Award for Community Service”. 

Safety, life-long learning, community support, and 

commitment to action are at the heart of CN’s core 

values and experiences. As such, CN Police take the 

company’s railway safety train, Little Obie, to 

community events across Canada and the US to help 

teach children and their parents about the importance 

of safety at level crossings. 

Major Donor Profile 

“As a leading North American freight 

transportation company, we are committed 

to helping build safer, stronger communities 

where our employees live and work.” 

Ian Thomson, CN 

Although CN has become one of the largest railway 

companies in North America since it was founded in 

1919, it is still relatively new to the Algoma District, 

having purchased Wisconsin Central in October 2000. 

We encourage you to take some time to visit its 

website at www.cn.ca and learn more about a 

company whose roots are deep in Canadian history 

and who prides itself on being able to participate in 

countless worthwhile projects throughout all of 

North America! 

When asked why they selected SAHF to be a 

recipient of $25,000, allowing us to purchase a new 

cardiac monitor for the hospital, Ian Thomson 

summed it up simply by saying, “It fulfills a unique 

local need in an important CN community where we 

have 120 employees. We’re pleased to be able to do it.”

The Gift

May 10th, 2003 marked The 2nd Annual Gift Gala & Auction, an evening of elegance and excitement 

that raises money for our hospital’s Cancer Care Fund. 

This unique and grand fundraising event features a five course dinner, live and silent auctions, live 

entertainment, music, and a dance. 

Numerous donors and sponsors, representing our community’s business, retail, hospitality, industrial, and 

professional sectors, along with our local artists and media, supported this spectacular fundraising event with 

both cash and in-kind contributions. 

This outpouring of generosity, coupled with countless volunteer hours, resulted in an 

astounding $183,247 in proceeds! 

The proceeds from this extraordinary event made the following possible

We are extremely thankful to the Gala’s Executive, Auction, Catalogue,

We are so grateful to all of you who,
