Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation

We exist to enable the growth of Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital. Together, we can bring a lifetime of care closer to home.

Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike,
DONATE ONLINE at mshf.on.ca or CALL us at (905) 472-7059. We are a supportive hand for our community and our hospital, Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). MSH is one of Ontario’s leading community hospitals serving Canada’s most diverse population in one of its fastest growing regions. Caring for over 437,000 patients each year, with 354 beds, redeveloped facilities, excellent clinical programs and leading health technology, MSH proudly provides patient care that uniquely combines the scope of a large hospital with the warm and personal touch that only a community hospital can offer. MSH is honoured to care for the more than 450,000 residents of Markham, Stouffville, Uxbridge, Richmond Hill, eastern York Region, north Durham and north Scarborough. Government can’t fund all life-saving equipment and top priority needs. Generous donor support is the reason our growing and aging community can count on exceptional care close to home, today, and for generations to come.

When Ronnie Persad came to Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) searching for answers, diagnostic testing revealed a rare form of lung cancer, stage 4. From that moment, he and his wife Loveena were met with compassionate, coordinated care from the MSH teams who supported them through every step of an overwhelming diagnosis.

Their experience is a powerful reminder of why access to specialized testing, treatment, and family support is important for every patient who turns to MSH in times of need. Their gratitude inspired them to make a meaningful pledge to MSH Foundation so other patients can receive the same life-saving care.

As we recognize Lung Cancer Awareness Month, we honour families like the Persads and the generosity that makes a difference for patients and their loved ones.

When the doctor becomes the patient, delivering exceptional care takes on a whole new meaning. 💙

While on vacation in the Bahamas, Dr. Henry Solow experienced sudden cardiac arrest at the top of a six storey waterslide, leading to an emergency return to Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital where its Cardiology team provided the urgent care, testing, and treatment he needed to return to the life he loves.

“Going from doctor to patient to doctor was nothing,” he says. “I was just touched, because half the hospital came to see me.”

Every day at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), we are reminded that small is mighty.

Last year alone, 404 babies received round-the-clock care in our NICU, which added up to nearly 100,000 hours of comfort, monitoring and healing made possible through donor-funded equipment and technology.

This World Prematurity Day and every day, know that your donations make a meaningful difference for families in their earliest moments. Thank you for giving our tiniest patients and their loved ones the support and life-saving care they need. 💙

With our community continuing to grow faster than ever, creating space for care has never been more important.

Oak Valley Health and our Foundation recently celebrated the generosity of Apotex Inc. and unveiled the Apotex Administrative Building — a 16,000-square-foot modular building donated along with a $100,000 philanthropic gift to support our hospital’s highest priority needs. This facility allows key administrative teams to relocate, freeing vital space to increase capacity and improve access for our Emergency Department and The Nanji Family Mental Health Services.

Thank you, Apotex, for supporting innovative and sustainable solutions that strengthen care close to home for generations to come. 💙

What began as an idea to inspire 35 women in honour of our hospital’s 35th anniversary has grown into a community of 47 incredible leaders making a real difference in women’s health at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). The Final Pitch was a celebration of their collective impact and generosity. 💙

Our Oak Valley Health experts presented three compelling funding needs at MSH in breast health, gynaecology, and youth mental health. All three teams showcased what our hospital is doing to enhance care for our community, and each received support thanks to our WITH MSH (Women Inspired To Help MSH) members — with the breast health team taking home the grand prize!

Thank you to every WITH MSH member, and the dedicated pitch teams, for making this milestone event such a success.

Halloween was all treat at Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). Patients received cuddly companions through our Bear Necessities Program, filling our hospital with laughter, comfort, and care.

On December 2, you can make someone's hospital stay a little more bearable by sending a bear to a patient at MSH. Thanks to a Friend of the Foundation who is generously matching all donations 3 times, up to $100,000, this year your impact will triple! That means when you buy one bear, two additional patients will receive a bear. 💙

On National Hug a Bear Day, visit mshf.on.ca/bear-necessities to send a bear hug! 🧸
