Tune in to the 1st Annual New Classical FM Radiothon on Thursday, November 27th (10am -3pm) in support of Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation, part of University Health Network.  Host Bill Anderson of “Bill’s Classical Jukebox” will be playing your favourites and sharing inspirational stories from patients, doctors and scientists at UHN.

“As our society ages so does the need for the innovation and excellence in research, treatment and care that Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation supports.  CARP is pleased to be a partner and encourages our members to contribute in any way they can to Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation’s important work.”
– Ross Mayot (Vice President & General Manager, CARP Canada)

Throughout the day Bill Anderson will be chatting with patients and staff as they relay their stories of courage. Some of the medical areas you will hear about are Transplant, Heart Health, Brain Surgery, Sleep Tips, Osteoporosis, Mental Health and Diabetes.

Stories to be featured include:

  • Sarah Gorsline and Alita Malinowski’s transformative journey through UHN’s Living Liver Donor Program, the largest program of its kind in North America; heart failure patient,
  • Al Dickstein, who credits Heart Transplant specialist Dr. Heather Ross for instilling in him the desire to live again;
  • Whitney Goulstone, who, at the lowest point in her life, turned to Dr. Taufik Valiante and the Epilepsy Program and began a new chapter in her family’s life thanks to a specialized brain surgery.

All funds raised through the New Classical Radiothon will support research, education and the enhancement of patient care across UHN.

Numerous UHN staff and CARP volunteers will be manning the telephones and greeting donors in the McEwen Atrium. We hope to hear from you!
