Mackenzie Health, in collaboration with York Region Public Health, declared a COVID-19 outbreak on C4 Medicine Aqua at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital on June 17, 2022.

Monday, June 6 marked one year since Mackenzie Health made history when we opened Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital and became a two-hospital organization.

Years of community generosity from more than 15,000 donors was topped off by a $30-million commitment from HBNG Holborn Group, an independent investment and real estate management firm based in Vaughan. The company, led by partners John A. D’Angelo, Giuseppe Maio, and Claudio Memme, has been a long-time supporter of Mackenzie Health in addition to other philanthropic contributions.

Mitchell Goldhar is championing exceptional health care in our community with a visionary $10-million gift. The state-of-the-art surgery unit at Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital has been named the Mitchell Goldhar Surgery Unit in his honour. 

QuadReal Property Group and Menkes Developments Ltd. (Assembly Park) address a critical care need with their generous $1 million donation to Mackenzie Health’s Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault (DASA) Unit.

CFL legend David Braley has made a $15-million gift to Mackenzie Health. In honour of this gift and his memory, the east tower of Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital has been named the David Braley Tower.

While easing restrictions may make sense in public spaces like restaurants and gyms where individuals can choose the level of risk they feel comfortable taking, vulnerable patients who come to us for care do not have a choice. That’s why, while the rest of the world is opening up, hospitals across Ontario are not yet doing the same.

This month marks one year since Mackenzie Health opened Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital exclusively to support the provincial pandemic response during waves two and three of the pandemic on Feb. 7, 2021.

While the new year began with hope as we welcomed the first New Year’s baby to be born in Vaughan, we are also navigating the challenges of yet another trying wave of the pandemic.

We’re navigating yet another trying wave of the pandemic and it continues to take a toll. Our health care system is very strained and in a vulnerable position.

As we approach the year’s end, we reflect on the achievements and challenges of the past year. For this edition of the Insider, here’s a recap of some of our major milestones as we look ahead to 2022.

Mackenzie Health continues to innovate to provide the best care possible and we’re winning awards for it! Most recently, Mackenzie Health’s Dr. Andrew Evans won a prestigious award for his revolutionary work in the world of pathology.
