      History

      The Toronto Hospital’s Department of Public and Community Affairs was established in 1986, replacing the separate Public Relations Departments of the Toronto General Hospital and the Toronto Western Hospital. David Allen, formerly Director of Public Relations at the TGH, headed the Department from 1986-January 1998 as Vice President, Public and Community Affairs. In January 1998 the name of the Department was changed to Department of Public Affairs and Communications. Gloria Bishop (1998) served as Vice President, Public Affairs and Communications, reporting directly to the President.

      The Department prepares and publishes the TTH staff newsletter and the Hospital’s annual reports; coordinates TTH fundraising programs; manages public events and ceremonies involving TTH; authorizes and supervises all internal Hospital information postings/ distributions; coordinates and manages media relations for the Hospital; and responds to requests from media and the public for information about the Hospital and its programs, services and facilities.
