We feel that the name should remain! Henderson Hospital is where I was born and so is a part of my history.

I want to express my support in keeping the Henderson name

I am not in support of the name change for the Henderson Hospital. While I recognize the generosity of the donors (and prospective name change to acknowledge their contributions to health care provision), removal of Nora Henderson's name acknowledging her relentless commitment to make the hospital happen in the first place by this renaming would be a travesty. I recognize that the donor's hard work was involved in earning the money which they have so wisely given to such a worthy institution perhaps another method of acknowledgement could be given.

The only reason a name change is even thought of is because of money. Juravinski, may be able to buy a
hospital now. In 20 years, it will be some one else and we'll change the name again. Keep it as is historically correct The Henderson Hospital.

I have noticed of late the trashing of Nora Frances Henderson by the Hamilton Spectator the very place where she held her first paying job. For man weeks they have laid silent which many in the community thought strange. Now all they seem to do is melign those who want to support Miss Henderson. The woman crossed a picket line in support of those locked in, she did not go inside to work on the line. Those inside at that time were not "scabs" but those who did not agree with forming a union. It is sad to think that some individuals appear proud that their wives spat on this lady only shows how ignorant and arrogant some people still appear to be. When is the Spectator going to start publishing Mr. Juravinski's role in strike breaking and locking out of the harness racers and staff when he owned and operated Flamboro Downs. That is right look it up, he was very pround of his ability to shall we say strike break? One is beginning to think that perhaps the Spectator is in cahoots with HHS with all their cheap shots.

I have lived in Hamilton 61 years, and have always known the Henderson Hospital as the "Henderson" To change the name now would be a tradedy. I think the Jurvinski's contribution to the medical comminity in Hamilton is more than admirable and they are truly kind, giving and wonderful people. Having said that, it scares me to think that the past is so easily disposed of. Change is good for any city in many areas but to change something that has been a part of our city and my growing up would be a very tragic occurance. I am all for change, but somethings need to reamin the same. How much longer will the board of HHSC be able to do do anything they please. They just have not taken into consideration the feelings of the people who came before them and the pride we feel for our city. I am willing to bet that the majority of them are not even from Hamilton and are under 50 years of age and have no concept of who Nora Henderon really was. I encourage you to continue with your endeavour to keep the name of the hospital and not make Nora Hendeson an afterthought.

As a veteran who spent many hours at the Henderson when my wife was sick I hate that we are supposed to have no say in this matter.Who do the HHSB think they are?We taxpayers have paid with our taxes for most of this hospital and its many extentions over the years and we want,no,we DEMAND that there will be no changes to the name of our beloved HENDERSON HOSPITAL.If the board want a fight over this,so be it,we have not even started yet.come down off your high horses and be big enough to admit YOU ARE WRONG.Keep the same name.
