Almonte General Hospital Fairview Manor Foundation

Amelia came to the Almonte General Hospital for a scheduled induction but ended up going into spontaneous labour while at the Hospital before the induction was started.

The team of Emmily Poirier, Amber Tysick, Dr. Melanie Fortune, Dr. Amir Hamid and Dr. Kayode Fadare immediately jumped into action getting everything together for an emergency c-section and safely delivered Amelia's baby.

"My husband said it was 12 minutes from the time I was wheeled into the OR until our baby was in his arms safe and sound.

The team provided the most compassionate care and when the situation turned into an emergency, they acted with calm grace and impeccable skill.

This team is truly incredible and I cannot thank them enough. This was the scariest situation I have ever been through and each of them were the perfect people to guide me through. They are all truly angels!"

The team were presented with their Guardian Angel pins for their incredible support, encouragement, problem solving skills and professionalism.

It has been a difficult year with many experiencing various changes. Times are tough but YOU have shown us that this community is tougher, maintaining your commitment to quality healthcare close to home. Because of YOU we were able to purchase beds, cardiac monitors, ceiling mounted exam lights, stretchers, lifts, ventilator, laparoscopic instruments and so much more.

From all of us at the AGH-FVM and Foundation, THANK YOU!

Lauren McGrath, Jennifer Dionne, Erica Bernard and Christine Umgeher were all nominated by an anonymous donor as his Guardian Angels.

“My thanks goes out to ALL the staff at Fairview Manor, for their work ethics, compassion and caring for my wife and all residents.”

“Lauren has continually kept me updated by phone and in person on my wife’s conditions and answers all my questions sometimes which are many.

Jen is a very outgoing person. She was always smiling, and updating me on how my wife’s day was going - good or not so great. If I was feeling down, Jen's smile always made me smile.

Erica was always checking with me on my health issues, showing true concern, and during my recent surgery went out of her way to help me , by picking up my wife’s new eyeglasses, and sent me pics of her wearing them.

Christine would answer all my questions about my wife, even though I may have interrupted her at inconvenient times. She took a personal interest in my health issues. On a few occasions after being off for a few days, she would call me to see if I had been updated on my wife’s changing conditions."

More candy may have been digested than what you see on their houses, but we call that builder's tax! 😉
