The first Annual General Meeting for the University Health Network occurred on September 15th, 1999. Series includes the contents of a binder labeled “Annual General Meeting Minutes Jun 1947-2005”. This binder included minutes of the University Health Network’s Annual General Meetings (1999-2005) as well as the minutes of the Annual Meetings of the Subscribers of its predecessor corporations The Toronto Hospital (1987-1998) and the Toronto General Hospital (1947-1986). The original purpose of these meetings was to elect Trustees. The annual meeting was extended to several meetings in 1947 and 1949 due to a lack of nominations. Minutes from September 17, 1997 are missing. Most minutes are signed originals.

Part of University Health Network record group

UHN News
CA ON00343 RG 2-UHN 3-3.2 · Series · 2000, 2004-2012
Part of University Health Network record group

Series consists of the printed issues of UHN News. UHN News made its debut on November 13th, 2000. It was a title change to the existing “Caring Together” weekly newsletter and continued its volume and issue numbering. The first issue of UHN News was therefore Volume 4, Number 46. UHN News was published by the Department of Public Affairs & Communications for and about the staff of the University Health Network, but the newsletter was also available throughout the hospital and therefore easily accessible to patients and visitors. Other than the change in title, the other key transformation for the hospital’s newsletter was that it was now also available as a “virtual” newsletter on the home page of University Health Network’s Corporate Intranet. While the same core news and information found in the paper version would also appear on the Intranet site, the online version was also designed to provide an expanded, more immediate, and more in-depth news service. Over time, the online news content increased as the content in the printed newsletter decreased.

There were occasional errors in the numbering of issues and volumes. Most notably in 2011, issues 1-10 are printed as Volume 15 while all subsequent issues starting with number 11 from 2011 are incorrectly printed as Volume 16. In 2012, the Volume is still listed as 16 but the issue numbering restarts at number 1. Therefore there would be two different issues listed as Volume 16, Number 11 etc., one from 2011 and one from 2012. The issues for April 10, 2012 and May 7, 2012 are also both listed at Volume 16, Number 4, and the next issue for July is listed as Number 6. For identification purposes it is therefore important to note the dates of the issues and not simply the volume and issue number.

The collection of issues is incomplete. No issues from Volumes 5-7 have been transferred to the Archives. Issues 1-19 of Volume 12 (2008) were not transferred to the Archives. Additional issues may be missing from each volume. The print newsletter ceased publication in 2012 with Volume 16, Number 11 (December 10, 2012).

Caring Together
CA ON00343 RG 2-UHN 3-3.5 · Series · 1997-2000
Part of University Health Network record group

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.
