It is an understatement - so much was accomplished at TBRHSC last year. To put it simply, congratulations to everyone who helped our collective vision for acute healthcare become a reality. Together, we did it. We moved into the new state-of-the-art Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.

Beyond the scope of one person, one team, one department, and one organization, TBRHSC developed successful partnerships to advance healthcare for the region. And, we are excited to say that we are not finished. The coming year promises great things, again.

Just ahead of us is the daunting task of training medical students. The Northern Ontario School of Medicine takes its first students this fall. Soon, we will have physicians trained here in Northwestern Ontario looking after us in our time of need.

As well, a partnership has been formed to have a third CT Scan provide diagnostic images. Decreasing waiting times and enhancing patient care is the issue. Far-reaching in scope, the electronic medical record strategy continues to roll out to the region providing physicians, patients, and families information in a precise and timely manner.

As we look to the future, we do it by extolling the fine work of the many people who volunteer their services and work selflessly for the Foundations and Associations to support and fund our many treatment modalities. Your efforts enable our exceptional healthcare teams to join with others to effectively deliver care. Partnerships work.

Thanks for your continued support.
