OVERVIEW

About Humber River Hospital Foundation:

Humber River Hospital Foundation is a 3-star charity. It has an average results reporting score and is financially transparent. However, its overhead spending is outside of Ci's reasonable range.

Founded in 1982, the Humber River Hospital Foundation (HRHF) financially supports patient care at the Humber River Regional Hospital, that the foundation calls the most digital hospital in North America. HRHF does this by investing in new equipment and implementing new technologies into the hospital. HRHF's aim is for the hospital to provide the best care to its patients and reduce wait times. In F2022, the foundation granted $6.6m to the hospital.

In 2021, Humber River Hospital had 110,597 emergency room visits, performed 130,834 covid-19 tests, treated 4,318 patients with covid-19, and administered over 185k vaccines.

The hospital currently operates on 76 cases per year with its da Vinci Si surgical system. The foundation aims to purchase the new da Vinci Xi model so the hospital can operate on 175 cases annually. In 2020, the foundation purchased ROSA, a robot used for same-day knee replacements. The foundation aims to purchase a second ROSA for the hospital so it can increase the number of robotic surgeries it performs to 575 per year.

Results and Impact

In 2018, the hospital purchased a new MRI Machine which allowed the hospital to accommodate an additional 6,000 patients annually. In 2017, the hospital opened Canada’s first Hospital Command Centre that monitors and manages the flow of patients. In 2018, the hospital noted that for those in the emergency department, wait times for an impatient bed decreased 33% from the year prior. Also, wait times for having an inpatient bed cleaned decreased 45% from the year prior. These improvements were equivalent to the hospital opening 23 new beds. In 2020, the foundation purchased three new covid-19 rapid testing machines for the hospital. The machines run up to 210 tests each day and results come back in 75 minutes, compared to other Toronto Public Health labs where wait times for results could be upwards of six days.

While Ci highlights these key results, this may not be a complete representation of Humber River Hospital Foundation’s results and impact.
