People

As Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH) celebrates its 35th birthday this year, it’s only fitting to reflect on the people who helped build its heart and soul.

At Oak Valley Health, integrated care for healthier communities is more than our Vision — it’s a daily practice driven by core values of respect, trust, commitment, compassion, and courage.

National Volunteer Week takes place April 27 to May 3. We are proud to celebrate more than 1,000 dedicated volunteers who generously give their time and service to Oak Valley Health.

February marks a time to celebrate the achievements of Black Canadians who have shaped our diverse, compassionate, and prosperous country. As part of our recognition of Black History Month, we are proud to highlight the voices of our staff.

When we think about health care, often what comes to mind are doctors, nurses, and maybe even those intense medical scenes from our favourite TV dramas.

Amidst the perpetual bustle of Emergency Departments, clinics, and hospitals, nurses serve as steadfast pillars of support and healing. Every year, Oak Valley Health’s Nursing Week Awards pay tribute to the nurses whose contributions have made a profound impact on patients, colleagues, and the organization.

In the bustling hospital lobby at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH), amidst thousands of activities and concerns, there are two figures that stand out – Luisa and Joseph Lupo: a passionate and dedicated husband and wife volunteer duo.
