3 An agreeable solution to the flight path of our helipad has been reached with the United Church, the hospital and the province. However, it appears that a number of other developers in the area are also looking to build in the flight path necessitating finding a long term solution with the Federal government implementing aeronautical zoning regulations. On June 8, Ontario Minister of Research and Innovation Reza Moridi was provided with a tour of the Keenan Research Centre. This was a great opportunity to showcase the unique role St. Michael s has to play in the research enterprise. The Catholic Health Sponsors of Ontario (formerly Catholic Health Corporation of Ontario) recently launched its new strategic plan Strong, Unified Catholic Healthcare in Ontario. The main goal is to serve the needs of the vulnerable population. Service recognition and awards from last month were announced. Amongst them, the Interdepartmental Division of Critical Care Medicine of the University of Toronto has designated its annual planning day as Art Slutsky Day. The Toronto Central LHIN recently launched its new Strategic Plan, The Future of Health Care is Local. Dr. Misak volunteered to assist the hospital with placing Research as an important part of the LHINs new agenda. This week, the Canadian Institute for Health Information will be releasing its latest health indicator data on Canadian hospitals. It is widely used by the media and the general public as a hospital scorecard. One area being reviewed by St. Michael's is our high rate of C-Sections for those in a low risk category. In preparation for the Toronto 2015 Pan Am / Parapan Am Games the Hospital has been working with the Toronto Central LHIN and other key partners on a regional Emergency Preparedness Plan. 6.0 REPORT OF THE FOUNDATION Ms. Metrick reported the following items: The Foundation is now at $182m for the $210m campaign.
