Aug 2, 2022 | Patient Stories, Faces of HDGH
A little-known fact about August – it’s Happiness Happens Month! This month is meant to remind us that happiness happens in small moments. It’s our job to recognize those moments when they happen. In this Maison Dieu Health Blog, we are recognizing those moments with “10 Things That Made Us Happy.” We hope they also make you smile!

No matter the occasion, patients, their loved ones, and staff can always find the perfectly-canvassed walls leading to the outpatient rehab reception decorated in full recognition spirit. The leading lady behind these creative designs… Certified Rehab Assistant, Sonia Ferrante. Thanks, Sonia, for taking the time, energy, and bringing happiness to everyone entering Outpatient Rehab.
Patients of the Toldo Neurobehavioural Institute (TNI) were able to safely return to one of their favorite pastimes of enjoying an afternoon movie in our Brown Auditorium.

It had been a few years since we were able to host our annual recognition event but the 2022 evening was worth the wait. More than 500 of our HDGH gathered at the Ciaciaro in early June. The energy, smiles, food, and laughter made for a very happy night.
It was the perfect celebratory farewell for Janice. The afternoon open house celebration welcomed staff, patients, community partners, family, board members, and friends to celebrate Jan’s more than 30 years of healthcare leadership.
We often hear that our HDGH Campus is one of the most beautiful well-kept, peaceful places in the city. “It doesn’t even feel like a hospital” are usually the words from patients and visitors. Our HDGH Team takes their own opportunity to enjoy the campus groups and surrounding nature with lunchtime exercise – the perfect way to stay healthy, balanced and moving.
One of the most recognized regional fundraising events has officially parked its bikes. With more than 1.2 million dollars raised to support our HDGH Foundation, the Probert Family along with more than 1200 bikers, sponsors and fans celebrated a decade of contribution to local healthcare in the 10th and final year.
Of course, nothing makes us happier than knowing we have positively impacted our young people. Below is a happy moment shared by a member of our RCC Team:

Welcome Readers. Our HDGH Team has always loved sharing stories with our community. Our Blog is just one of the many creative ways to do that with you. It has become a popular corner of our website where everyone is welcome to not only learn ABOUT our hospital, but also FROM the talented healthcare experts and professional voices we are proud to call our HDGH People. Our blog will be home to sharing expertise through varying healthcare-related topics from interviews, experience, patient stories, daily topics on how to stay healthy, and more.
You may have also noticed a new name to the HDGH Blog. “Maison Dieu Health” is a nod to our HDGH Heritage, honouring our French-Canadian five founding sisters of the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph’s (RHSJ) who with love, perseverance, faith and persistence travelled from Montreal over 135 years ago to establish Windsor’s first hospital – Hôtel-Dieu of St. Joseph.
You can think of Maison Dieu Health as your refuge for wellness-related resources, all accessible “under one roof” through the many voices of our HDGH staff and community.
With that, welcome to Maison Dieu Health.
