Saw the new sign today, have to say I'm not happy about the new name. I understand they donated millions and millions but it feels like we've just betrayed Henderson.

Call it Juravinskis . We call that naming rights. O yeah that is such an anomaly in Hamilton.. Why the heck would anyone pay to put their name on a building? I know downtown Hamilton is totally lacking in naming rights, but we could ask to take the CIBC, Scarfone, Effort Trust and Ron Joyce to take their sign off the their respected buildings.

As the name change has been made, they've installed a full Nora Frances Henderson display in the Henderson area of the hospital - quite prominent and quite beautiful.

The way things work is that when you name a hospital, or a waiting room, or a machine, or anything else you donate to get naming rights to, you don't expect that name stays in perpetuity.

It stays for a significant amount of time, but in two hundred years it won't be the Juravinski either, as wonderful as the Juravinskis are also.

He is survived by his wife of 65 years, Margaret. In fact, Charles passed away while in hospice care at Margaret’s Place — named in his wife’s honour at St. Joseph’s Villa in Dundas.

Charles’ passing comes one day after he and Margaret announced a new $5.1 million Valentine’s Day gift to support health research across the city through their continued investments in the Juravinski Research Institute.

“Charles Juravinski was a true original – his distinctive style and manner were well known and admired across our city,” said Melissa Farrell, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton president. “Together with Margaret, their philanthropy in health care and innovative research has positively influenced the lives of countless patients and their families in our region, and across our Province.”

It looks like phase 2 of Juravinski is moving forward.

Ontario’s Minister of Health visited Hamilton on Wednesday (April 20) to announce that more than $20 million will go towards helping the city’s largest health-care provider to modernize.

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) will be putting the money towards the redevelopment of Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre as well as the expansion of Hamilton General Hospital’s emergency department.

Christine Elliott made the announcement, alongside Flamborough-Glanbrook MPP Donna Skelly, at the soon-to-be redeveloped Juravinski Hospital on Wednesday.

“This investment will ensure Hamilton Health Sciences can better meet the growing needs of the communities it serves and provide much-needed care and services now and into the future,” she said in a statement.

The redevelopment at Juravinski is expected to include a new patient care tower that will increase inpatient services and add more than 100 new inpatient beds. Renovations to existing infrastructure is also part of the plan.

“This is an exciting moment for health care in our region,” said Rob MacIsaac, President and CEO of Hamilton Health Sciences.

“Redeveloping Juravinski Hospital and Cancer Centre will further expand the reach of our leading regional programs, add vital inpatient beds to the system, and modernize patient areas for our teams to provide exceptional care.”

The proposed redevelopment project will make Juravinski the largest inpatient hospital facility in the region. In total, the project is expected to cost upwards of $1 billion, which, according to MacIsaac, will make it the largest health infrastructure investment in Hamilton’s history.

MacIsaac said construction is targeted to start in 2025 with the first areas expected to open between 2028-29.

A big chunk of the more than $20 million announced on Wednesday will go towards a new project to expand the emergency department at the General in downtown Hamilton.

This project also aims to increase capacity and provide more space for ambulance off-loading.

“Enhancements to the Hamilton General Hospital’s ED, which is one of the busiest trauma centres in the province, will improve patient flow, increase available patient care space, and give our expert teams greater ability to treat and triage patients in a more efficient manner,” said Dr. Kuldeep Sidhu, Chief, Emergency Medicine ar Hamilton Health Sciences.

The General Hospital is home to the regional trauma centre serving 2.5-million people in and surrounding Hamilton.
