Administrative history

The Public Affairs & Communications department is responsible for raising the profile of UHN’s hospitals, foundations and research institutes. Their staff provide expertise in external and internal communications, publications, media relations, issues management, government relations, design and graphics, and UHN’s website. Their role includes preparing communications regarding upcoming events, programs, research initiatives and services that are meant for a variety of audiences—internally for a department, to an entire UHN site, or to all of UHN, and externally to the broader public. They are also responsible for UHN’s public website.

The position of Vice President, Public Affairs & Communications has been held by Gloria Bishop (1999-2002) and Gillian Howard (2002- ).

Custodial history

Scope and content

Series consists of copies of Caring Together, The Toronto Hospital’s staff newsletter after the merger between OCI/PMH and TTH. This newsletter combined the news and information formerly reported in the separate publications OCI Post and Caring. The design of the newsletter reflected the new partnership with both logos being combined into one and the colours of the separate hospitals (yellow and blue) seen merging together.

The inaugural issue of Caring Together was first published on September 19, 1997 as Vol 1, Number 1. When The Toronto Hospital changed its name to University Health Network in 1999, Caring Together continued with the same name and volume and issue numbering. The only change was the subheading which now read “A newsletter for and about the staff of University Health Network”. The last issue as Caring Together was Volume 4, Number 45 from November 6, 2000. Beginning with the November 13th issue, the newsletter changed its name to UHN News but continued with the same numbering.

Issues were arranged chronologically by volume in separate binders. Some issues of ITF News, from the Integration Task Force, have been inserted. There are quite a few missing issues of Caring Together. From Volume 2, issues 26, 30, 36 and 37 are missing. From Volume 3, issues 2, 4, 13-17, 19-21, 23, 25, 27, 32, 36, 38, 40, 43-44, and 49 are missing. From Volume 4, issues 6-7, 10, 17-18, 20, 25-30, 33-34, and 43 are missing.

There is no Volume 2, issue 3 in existence. During printing what should have been Volume 2, issue 3 was incorrectly labeled Volume 2, issue 4.
