This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello all, my name is Anna and I have a conflict of interest with Niagara Health System. I have been working on a new draft with reliable sources and looking for editors input and assistance on making the changes. The draft has been posted on my user sandbox User:Ancobi/sandbox.
Here is what you will find in my draft:
My draft doesn't include the sentence about Deb Matthews announcing the closure of 5 hospitals out of 6. The information is inaccurate, the Welland Site will remain open and the location and type of services is still being determined. [2]
Another thing to note about my draft is that it doesn't include the Controversies section. My reasoning for this is that the sources that support the information no longer exist.
I have provided multiple sources that are reliable and support my changes. I'm looking forward to your feedback. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ancobi ( talk • contribs) 17:38, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Here is what you will find in my draft:
Suggested Draft The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) [3] is a multi-site hospital amalgamation, comprising the following sites serving over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada.
NH has more than 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided across the sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,800 employees, 600 physicians and 800 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $550 million. [6] Niagara Health is the result of a government directive, in 1999, to amalgamate the 8 hospital sites serving the Regional Municipality of Niagara. [7] At that time, the St. Catharines community was served by the Shaver Hospital, for chronic care, the Hotel Dieu Hospital, a Catholic acute care facility managed by the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph, and the St. Catharines General Hospital. With amalgamation, the Hotel Dieu was placed under the governance and management of Niagara Health and renamed the Ontario Street Site. Meanwhile, the Shaver was assumed by Hotel Dieu management and renamed Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre. [8] In 2013, Niagara Health opened the St. Catharines Site [9], replacing two older St. Catharines sites, the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. This brought new regional services to Niagara including Cancer Care, Cardiac Care and an expanded Mental Health and Addictions Program. [10] The town of Niagara-on-the-Lake took ownership of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Site in August 2018. [11]

Revised Draft The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) [1] is a multi-site hospital amalgamation, comprising the following sites serving over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada.
NH has more than 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. Several inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided across the sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,800 employees, 600 physicians and 850 volunteers, [4] [1] with an annual operating budget of approximately $550 million. References
Niagara Health is the result of a government directive, in 1999, to amalgamate the 8 hospital sites serving the Regional Municipality of Niagara. [1] At that time, the St. Catharines community was served by the Shaver Hospital, for chronic care, the Hotel Dieu Hospital, a Catholic acute care facility managed by the Religious Hospitallers of St. Joseph, and the St. Catharines General Hospital. With amalgamation, the Hotel Dieu became part of Niagara Health, called the Ontario Street Site. Meanwhile, the Shaver was assumed by Hotel Dieu management and is now Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre. [2] In 2013, Niagara Health opened the St. Catharines Site [3], replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Cancer Care, Cardiac Care and an expanded Mental Health and Addictions Program are just a few of the new services provided in the Niagara Region.

Thank you for your work at rephrasing the information, it is much appreciated. However, the rephrased portions of text are still strongly influenced by information which already exists on the Health System's own websites. Only a cursory attempt was made to rearrainge the main basic parts of information, as shown below:
Paraphrasing examples

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

This closeness in sentence structure and phrasing still closely parallels the information as it already exists at the Health System's website. It is not Wikipedia's purpose to mirror information which already exists. If there is difficulty in reproducing this information (primarily because the Health System's website already does a competent job of describing these relationships) then the only information brought over should be the minimum needed to convey the narrative. This ought to be done in an original way for the reader's benefit. This may be as simple as reproducing a timeline:
1999 | Direction by OHSRC to amalgamate |
1999 | Shaver Hospital and Niagra Rehab Centre merged with Hotel Dieu and RH of St. Joseph, renamed HDSHRC |
2005 | HDHSH merged with NH |
Or if you prefer, it may be as complex as highlighting past and current relationships in a chart showing their structural relatedness: [a]

Either way which is chosen would make fine additions to the article and would not sacrifice either the information being delivered or the manner in which it is delivered (by plagiarizing the source).
Notes
Good morning. I am the Communications Director at Niagara Health and hoping to connect with you regarding the content about the organization. We are concerned that it lists outdated information that could impact access and use of health services by members of the public in our community. For example, we no longer have a site in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and changes to sites announced in 2014 are no longer accurate. It would be appreciated if you could clarify for me how we go about updating the information in a way that appropriately meets your guidelines. We have attempted several times to make changes, and even information that is currently on your site is being rejected. Thank you in advance for your help with this important matter.

Add to list of sites:
Reason: We have 5 sites as well as three other locations that provide services to the community. A long-term care home in Welland, a satellite dialysis centre in Niagara Falls and a shared location for mental health and addictions with Canadian Mental Health Association in St. Catharines [1]
Current: NH has almost 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided at the five sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,154 employees, 599 physicians and 1,100 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $400 million. New: NH has almost 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided at the sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,800 employees, 600 physicians and 850 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $550 million. [2]
Current: On January 13, 2014, Health Minister, Deb Matthews, announced that the Ontario government had adopted a recommendation to close 5 of Niagara Health's 6 hospitals. The region would be served by two large state-of-the-art facilities, the St. Catharines site and a new hospital in an as-yet-to-be-chosen location near Niagara Falls. The region would also will be served by two new urgent-care centres, or walk-in clinics. New paragraph: Niagara Health is in the planning stages of the new South Niagara Hospital, to be located at the corners of Montrose and Lyons Creek roads in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is being developed under the Ministry of Health’s 5-Stage Capital Planning Process. The current vision for the future calls for Niagara Health to evolve to three hospital sites (Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland) and expand access to healthcare services in communities across Niagara.
Current: With plans to eventually demolish the Ontario Street Site, which provided mostly acute-care in its new role, the St. Catharines Site grew in scope and importance. Plans to build a larger, more adequate facility in the city's west end, which required enough space to include a cancer treatment centre and mental health facility, were met with opposition by the community. Many deemed the location to be isolated and too far from the majority of Niagara residents. Hospital construction proceeded and the new building opened on March 24, 2013, replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Proposed changes: In 2013, Niagara Health opened the one-million-square-foot St. Catharines Site, replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Thousands of local cancer, heart and mental health patients have access to new and expanded regional healthcare services in Niagara. [3] In 2018, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake assumed ownership of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Site. Niagara Health operates convalescent beds and provides other services in the town. [4]
We are proposing to remove this section as the organization has dramatically changed since 2010. None of these items mentioned are an accurate reflection of the quality of care and organizational culture, they are misleading and in our view doing a disservice to users of Wikipedia, residents who access services and the team of 6,000 people who work at Niagara Health. We are not under censure, our MSA works closely with our leadership, and we are no longer under supervision. Our current state is reflected as follows (some examples). We would be happy to provide an update to reflect these recent accomplishments.

Thank you for making some of the changes. I noticed it says that Niagara Health has 8 sites, that is incorrect. Niagara Health has 5 hospital sites and 3 community-based locations. I'm proposing the following change to the first paragraph:
The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital organization, comprised of five sites and three community-based locations, a long-term care home in Welland, a satellite dialysis centre in Niagara Falls and a shared location with
Canadian Mental Health Association in St. Catharines for mental health and addictions programming. Niagara Health serves over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the
Regional Municipality of Niagara,
Canada.
Under Facilities, can we change Mental Health and Addictions to Mental Health and Addictions at 264 Welland Ave., St. Catharines The address is the name of the building.
Thank you. -- Ancobi ( talk) 18:56, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

The community-based services are referral only and the way they are listed currently on the Wikipedia page is confusing for some members of the public who may think they can go directly to one of those sites for care. The Long-term car site in Welland is part of the hospital building and technically not an additional site.
Can we change the first sentence in the article to reflect the five hospital sites: The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital amalgamation, comprising five sites serving over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada.

Hi, I'm looking for help to make the following changes to Niagara Health System article.
In the first sentence, is it possible to make the following edit to reflect the five hospital sites:
The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital amalgamation, comprising five sites serving over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada.
The reason why I would liked this changed is because, Niagara Health has only 5 hospital sites [1]. The community-based services listed under the Facilities section (Satellite Dialysis Centre in Niagara Falls; Long-Term Care Home in Welland; Mental Health and Addictions) are referral only and saying that Niagara Health has eight hospital sites on the article could be confusing for some members of the public who may think they can go directly to one of those locations for care. The Long-term car site in Welland is part of the hospital building and technically not an additional site.
Please let me know if you require any more information. Thank you. -- Ancobi ( talk) 18:42, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

With amalgamation, the Hotel Dieu was placed under the governance and management of Niagara Health and renamed the Ontario Street Site. Meanwhile, the Shaver was assumed by Hotel Dieu management and renamed Hotel Dieu Shaver Health and Rehabilitation Centre. [8] In 2013, Niagara Health opened the St. Catharines Site [9], replacing two older St. Catharines sites, the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites.

Add to list of sites:
Reason: We have 5 sites as well as three other locations that provide services to the community. A long-term care home in Welland, a satellite dialysis centre in Niagara Falls and a shared location for mental health and addictions with Canadian Mental Health Association in St. Catharines [1]
Current: NH has almost 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided at the five sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,154 employees, 599 physicians and 1,100 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $400 million. New: NH has almost 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided at the sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,800 employees, 600 physicians and 850 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $550 million. [2]
Current: On January 13, 2014, Health Minister, Deb Matthews, announced that the Ontario government had adopted a recommendation to close 5 of Niagara Health's 6 hospitals. The region would be served by two large state-of-the-art facilities, the St. Catharines site and a new hospital in an as-yet-to-be-chosen location near Niagara Falls. The region would also will be served by two new urgent-care centres, or walk-in clinics. New paragraph: Niagara Health is in the planning stages of the new South Niagara Hospital, to be located at the corners of Montrose and Lyons Creek roads in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is being developed under the Ministry of Health’s 5-Stage Capital Planning Process. The current vision for the future calls for Niagara Health to evolve to three hospital sites (Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland) and expand access to healthcare services in communities across Niagara.
Current: With plans to eventually demolish the Ontario Street Site, which provided mostly acute-care in its new role, the St. Catharines Site grew in scope and importance. Plans to build a larger, more adequate facility in the city's west end, which required enough space to include a cancer treatment centre and mental health facility, were met with opposition by the community. Many deemed the location to be isolated and too far from the majority of Niagara residents. Hospital construction proceeded and the new building opened on March 24, 2013, replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Proposed changes: In 2013, Niagara Health opened the one-million-square-foot St. Catharines Site, replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Thousands of local cancer, heart and mental health patients have access to new and expanded regional healthcare services in Niagara. [3] In 2018, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake assumed ownership of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Site. Niagara Health operates convalescent beds and provides other services in the town. [4]
We are proposing to remove this section as the organization has dramatically changed since 2010. None of these items mentioned are an accurate reflection of the quality of care and organizational culture, they are misleading and in our view doing a disservice to users of Wikipedia, residents who access services and the team of 6,000 people who work at Niagara Health.

I'm looking to get some information updated on the Niagara Health System article page. The changes I'm purposing are broken down in four sections with referrences.

Add three other locations to list of sites:
Reason: We have 5 sites as well as three other locations that provide services to the community. A long-term care home in Welland, a satellite dialysis centre in Niagara Falls and a shared location for mental health and addictions with Canadian Mental Health Association in St. Catharines [1]
Current: NH has almost 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided at the five sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,154 employees, 599 physicians and 1,100 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $400 million. New: NH has almost 900 Acute Care, Complex Continuing Care, Mental Health, Long Term Care and Addiction Treatment beds. A wide range of inpatient and outpatient clinics/services are provided at the sites. It is one of Ontario's largest hospital systems, with 4,800 employees, 600 physicians and 850 volunteers, with an annual operating budget of approximately $550 million. [2]
Current: On January 13, 2014, Health Minister, Deb Matthews, announced that the Ontario government had adopted a recommendation to close 5 of Niagara Health's 6 hospitals. The region would be served by two large state-of-the-art facilities, the St. Catharines site and a new hospital in an as-yet-to-be-chosen location near Niagara Falls. The region would also will be served by two new urgent-care centres, or walk-in clinics. Purposed paragraph: Niagara Health is in the planning stages of the new South Niagara Hospital, to be located at the corners of Montrose and Lyons Creek roads in Niagara Falls, Ontario. It is being developed under the Ministry of Health’s 5-Stage Capital Planning Process. The current vision for the future calls for Niagara Health to evolve to three hospital sites (Niagara Falls, St. Catharines and Welland) and expand access to healthcare services in communities across Niagara. [3]
Current: With plans to eventually demolish the Ontario Street Site, which provided mostly acute-care in its new role, the St. Catharines Site grew in scope and importance. Plans to build a larger, more adequate facility in the city's west end, which required enough space to include a cancer treatment centre and mental health facility, were met with opposition by the community. Many deemed the location to be isolated and too far from the majority of Niagara residents. Hospital construction proceeded and the new building opened on March 24, 2013, replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Proposed changes: In 2013, Niagara Health opened the one-million-square-foot St. Catharines Site, replacing the St. Catharines General and Ontario Street sites. Thousands of local cancer, heart and mental health patients have access to new and expanded regional healthcare services in Niagara. [4] In 2018, the Town of Niagara-on-the-Lake assumed ownership of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Site. Niagara Health operates convalescent beds and provides other services in the town. [5]
We are proposing to remove this section as the organization has dramatically changed since 2010. None of these items mentioned are an accurate reflection of the quality of care and organizational culture, they are misleading and in our view doing a disservice to users of Wikipedia, residents who access services and the team of 6,000 people who work at Niagara Health. We are not under censure, our MSA works closely with our leadership, and we are no longer under supervision. Our current state is reflected as follows (some examples). We would be happy to provide an update to reflect these recent accomplishments.

Thank you for making some of the changes. I noticed it says that Niagara Health has 8 sites, that is incorrect. Niagara Health has 5 hospital sites and 3 community-based locations. I'm proposing the following change to the first paragraph:
The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital organization, comprised of five sites and three community-based locations, a long-term care home in Welland, a satellite dialysis centre in Niagara Falls and a shared location with
Canadian Mental Health Association in St. Catharines for mental health and addictions programming. Niagara Health serves over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the
Regional Municipality of Niagara,
Canada.
Under Facilities, can we change Mental Health and Addictions to Mental Health and Addictions at 264 Welland Ave., St. Catharines The address is the name of the building.
Thank you. -- Ancobi ( talk) 18:56, 2 December 2019 (UTC)

I'm looking to update a couple of areas on this article. I noticed it says that Niagara Health has 8 sites, that is incorrect. Niagara Health has 5 hospital sites and 3 community-based locations. I'm proposing the following change to the first paragraph:
The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital organization, comprised of five sites and three community-based locations, a long-term care home in Welland, a satellite dialysis centre in Niagara Falls and a shared location with
Canadian Mental Health Association in St. Catharines for mental health and addictions programming. Niagara Health serves over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the

The community-based services are referral only and the way they are listed currently on the Wikipedia page is confusing for some members of the public who may think they can go directly to one of those sites for care. The Long-term car site in Welland is part of the hospital building and technically not an additional site.
Can we change the first sentence in the article to reflect the five hospital sites: The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital amalgamation, comprising five sites serving over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada.
Please let me know if you require any more information. Thank you. -- Ancobi ( talk) 19:38, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I'm looking for help to make the following changes to Niagara Health System article.
In the first sentence, is it possible to make the following edit to reflect the five hospital sites:
The Niagara Health System, or Niagara Health (NH) is a multi-site hospital amalgamation, comprising five sites serving over 450,000 residents across the 12 municipalities making up the Regional Municipality of Niagara, Canada.
The reason why I would liked this changed is because, Niagara Health has only 5 hospital sites [1]. The community-based services listed under the Facilities section (Satellite Dialysis Centre in Niagara Falls; Long-Term Care Home in Welland; Mental Health and Addictions) are referral only and saying that Niagara Health has eight hospital sites on the article could be confusing for some members of the public who may think they can go directly to one of those locations for care. The Long-term car site in Welland is part of the hospital building and technically not an additional site.
Please let me know if you require any more information. Thank you. -- Ancobi ( talk) 18:42, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
