Dialysis patients are a very unique and amazing group - we get to know and care about each of them individually. We have a very cohesive, supportive group of physicians, nurses and volunteers working here and I am proud to be a part of this team effort." Peter Rodgers, RN, Renal Dialysis The 10th annual OTMH Classic, presented by Oak-land Ford Lincoln and Ford Canada, was a resounding success thanks to hundreds of participants, sponsors and volunteers. New this year was the 1 km Fun Run for children under the age of 10. Much fun was had by all in the races, music and kid's activities. Everyone also enjoyed the Father's Day Breakfast, sponsored by Jennifer's Kitchens and Longo's. All proceeds will be used to purchase equipment for the OTMH Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
