Success Stories
With your support we can achieve great things!“Ultrasound use has become the standard of care in emergency and urgent care practice. For many physicians, this form of technology acts as a key vital sign that helps guide patient care. Without it, physicians would be working blindly in many circumstances, something that just shouldn’t happen in our day and age.” – Dr. Tyler Laycock, Concordia Urgent Care
This campaign supports our Front Line Workers in this most tangible way. They continue to work day after day to help our patients and families. They are here for our community. The Concordia Foundation has declared our full support for this project by resolution. The Golf Committee jumped at the opportunity to adopt this project for the 2021 tournament.
The goal of orthopaedic research at the Concordia Campus is to continue pushing the boundaries of how medicine improves the lives of people suffering from joint pain, poor function, and limited mobility. The research we conduct helps us to meet the growing needs of our patients while invigorating the community, growing Manitoba’s economy, and advancing orthopaedic care on a global scale.
There is an increasing recognition in health that indicators of clinical deterioration such as abnormal vital signs are being missed. Evidence also suggests a lack of organization and knowledge regarding how to manage clinical deterioration. Studies show that 85% of all in-hospital cardiac arrests are preceded by undetected signs of deterioration.
Concordia serves over 1500 patients a year from Manitoba and parts of Ontario, Saskatchewan and Nunavut. Hip and Knee replacements are more effective at improving quality of life than any other surgery. The need for hip and knee replacement surgery is greater than ever. Before COVID-19 there was already a wait list. When we paused surgeries to comply with public health orders, that listed grew and grew. We have a bold vision to reduce wait lists and serve more patients. Joint problems affecting the hips and knees make life miserable for millions of Canadians each year. We are increasing our research capacity and now our surgical capacity with the help of our donors.
Stepping EVEN Farther
Special gratitude to the Kothari Family Foundation for helping us Step Farther and bring hope to so many people awaiting joint replacement surgery. The OR will be named in honour of Sayar and Navaratna Kothari. Anupam Kothari (right) who is also treasurer of the Concordia Foundation Board and Navaratna Kothari (left). Their generosity of spirit and financial support is a tremendous encouragement to the staff at Concordia Hospital.
The Concordia Foundation is thrilled to thank the Kothari Family for their amazing generosity that has helped us Step Even Farther as we complete the project that will transform surgical care for joint replacement at Concordia Hospital.
Their gift of $150,000 brings us closer to the total needed to complete the surgical unit – called OR#5 – that will give us a state-of-the-art operating room as well as allow us to expand our capacity for up to 1,000 more surgeries per year for joint replacements.
The impacts of this project will reduce wait times for surgeries, optimize patient outcomes and ultimately improve the quality of life for people living with debilitating pain.
The OR is scheduled to be in use by April 1, 2023 and construction has begun for this critical project.
This gift brings hope to so many people.
