30 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday October 19, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Halton Healthcare Services celebrates United Way Day W ith United Way of Oakville's (UWO) annual campaign in full swing, organizations, corporations and individuals are in the midst of their fundrais- ing drives. This week, Halton Healthcare Services (HHS) will join this group of local heroes working to raise much needed funds and awareness for health and social services in our community. There is a strong and necessary link between the work of UWO's agencies and the work of our local hospital and its team of healthcare professionals. Through the efforts of United Way agencies, measures can be taken to prevent an individual from entering the hospital. For those who are discharged following a hospital stay, United Way agencies provide much needed service and support. "The greatest service we can provide to our communities is to ensure health and social services are working hand in glove to provide the best care for our community," says Barbara Burton, CEO, United Way of Oakville. "United Way Day" at the hospital will do a lot to build bridges, increase awareness and, in the end, strengthen our social safety net." United Way funded agencies, last year, provided a full spectrum of social services to local residents. Food for Life delivered $700,000 worth of food to the hungry, the Distress Centre heard the calls of those in crisis, Acclaim Health provided home healthcare, victims of abuse were treated at Halton Trauma Centre and the Red Cross transported patients to the hospital. On Oct. 22, UWO will partner with Halton Healthcare Services for "United Way Day," an event to build awareness of the partnership between the hospital and United Way. Representatives from a wide array of United Way funded agencies will be in the hospital lobby to share information and become acquainted with staff, volunteers and visitors. United Way of Oakville (UWO) funds programs and services accessed by thousands of people through health and social service agencies focusing on four key service areas: strengthening families, supporting independence and well-being in seniors, promoting self-sufficiency, and supporting those in crisis. In addition to being a major fund provider, UWO offers professional development workshops to staff and volunteers in the not-for-profit sector.
