HDSDC contributed towards the purchase of capital equipment for the Motion Lab at McMaster University. This laboratory analyzes the walking pattern of children and adults who are having orthopaedic surgery, assisting both the surgeon and the therapists in designing a rehabilitation therapy package for the children.

HDSDC helped McMaster Children’s Hospital by contributing towards the Adolescent/Young Adult Transition and Life Skills and Care Management Programs.

In the words of Hamilton District Society for Disabled Children’s President, Mark Matson who presented the gift to the HHS Foundation for the Enabling Dreams Campaign:

“We are humbled by the dedication and strength of the patients and families who are cared for through the programs that will transition to the new McMaster Children’s Health Centre. With this gift, it is a privilege for us to ensure that the dedicated teams have the necessary equipment and comfortable furnishings to provide the appropriate care and support that these families deserve.”
