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.

More than a community hospital, Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) is an award-winning health care hub delivering innovative, patient-centred care close to home.

As we reflect on 35 years of care, we’re proud to celebrate these four unique ways that MSH stands apart:

• Collaborative birthing services at the Stollery Family Centre for Childbirth & Children, including Canada’s first Alongside Midwifery Unit, offering midwifery services with immediate access to emergency medical care

• Connected care made possible through key health care partnerships that support collaborative care between hospitals, clinical trials, and access to additional specialists

• One-stop breast cancer care at the Gale & Graham Wright Breast Health Centre, known for its multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating breast cancer

• Best-in-class interventional radiology (IR) supported by a state-of-the-art IR suite, offering real-time, minimally invasive diagnostic procedures using the best technology available

Behind each of these areas is the generosity of donors who help ensure patients in our community receive exceptional care, today and for years to come.

The sweetest part of the season is giving back!

This holiday season was made extra cheerful thanks to Shameeza James and her son Michael, who once again hosted their holiday sale in support of Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH).

Featuring homemade treats and festive décor, their hard work and generosity helped raise $2,474.25 in support of patient care at MSH.

Thank you, Shameeza, Michael and the James family for making a meaningful difference in our community. 💙

With deep respect and gratitude, we join our community in honouring the remarkable life of Mrs. Gulshan Nanji, who passed away at the age of 92. A devoted philanthropist and advocate for community well-being, she will be remembered as a beloved friend of Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH).

Arriving from Uganda in 1972 as a refugee, Mrs. Nanji built a life in Canada shaped by resilience and commitment to her family and community. Together with her late husband, Pyarali G. Nanji, she leaves a profound legacy defined by their promise to give back to the country that welcomed them.

As co-founder of the Nanji Family Foundation, Mrs. Nanji has left a lasting imprint on our hospital. For more than three decades, her family's support of MSH has contributed to the advancement and growth of our mental health services, helping to ensure accessible care for all. The Gulshan & Pyarali G. Nanji Mental Health Services are an enduring reflection of the values she held dear in her mission to uplift and help others.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and the entire Nanji family. At MSH Foundation, we remain forever grateful for Mrs. Nanji’s extraordinary legacy of compassion and the care she made possible at our hospital and beyond.

There is still time to make an impact before 2025 comes to a close!

A***n Fazeli was just 27 years old when he arrived at the Emergency Department at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital struggling to breathe. A scan revealed a tumour the size of a football pressing against his heart and lungs. Today, A***n is cancer-free, newly married, and full of gratitude for the care he received close to home.

Your support helps ensure patients like A***n, and their families continue to feel cared for during life’s most difficult moments.

In these final days of the year, your generosity can become someone’s hope for tomorrow. Make a difference before 2025 ends and donate at https://bit.ly/3L6tZqI..

After more than 20 years of dedicated service, we are proud to thank Terry King as he begins his well earned retirement.

Since joining Oak Valley Health's Markham Stouffville Hospital in 2001, Terry has been a trusted man of all trades, earning the nickname “MacGyver” for his problem solving skills and inventive spirit.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Terry played a key role supporting hospital operations, from helping set up the Assessment Centre to assisting with room conversions and vaccination clinics. His behind the scenes work helped keep our community safe during an unprecedented time.

Recognized as an MSH Hero, Terry has always credited the strength of the team around him. As he steps into retirement, we thank him for the lasting impact he has made on our hospital and the countless people who benefited from his dedication behind the scenes. Wishing you all the best, Terry, and thank you for everything. 💙

Your year end gift can have a lasting impact on patient care. 💙

When Steven Fenster arrived at the Emergency Department at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) in severe pain, emergency physician Dr. Elizabeth P**n took the time to look a little deeper. One extra test led to an early cancer diagnosis and life-saving treatment that allowed Steven to return home to his family.

Your last gift of 2025 will help fund vital equipment like ultrasound machines and scopes that make early detection possible. This is the same technology that helped Steven’s care team diagnose and treat his cancer early. Because of your generosity, Steven’s family can look ahead to many more life moments together.

Please give generously today at https://bit.ly/4b77NHn.

Santa arrived at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) with a sleigh full of cheer — and a helping hand from the Markham Fire and Emergency Services team. Together, they delivered toys and cuddly bears to patients throughout the hospital. 🎅🧸

Thank you to our generous community for donating toys and supporting our Bear Necessities program. Your kindness helps make MSH feel a little brighter during the holiday season.

And a bear-y heartfelt thanks to Markham Fire and Emergency Services for volunteering your time and helping bring this special visit to life for patients and families.

This holiday season, Steven Fenster is celebrating moments he once feared he might lose. 💙

A sudden, unbearable pain sent Steven to the Emergency Department at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). While kidney stones were suspected, emergency physician Dr. Elizabeth P**n took extra care to look deeper, ordering one more test that revealed something unexpected. That decision led to an early cancer diagnosis and timely treatment that changed Steven’s life.

Thanks to that foresight and the care he received at MSH, Steven’s cancer was caught early and successfully treated. Today, he is eight years cancer-free and forever grateful to the doctors, nurses, and care teams who were there when he needed them most.

Your holiday gift helps make life-saving care possible for patients like Steven. Give today at https://bit.ly/49cOp9r.
