A healthy community through health system partnerships: the approach of Markham Stouffville Hospital.

The structure of the Canadian healthcare system, particularly in Ontario, has remained remarkably stable over the past 25 years. No other private sector industry employing hundreds of thousands of people, spending tens of billions of dollars annually and serving millions of consumers every day has survived for 30 years without the need to reinvent itself in quite fundamental ways. How then has the healthcare sector in Canada avoided the pressure to "reinvent itself?"

Syndrome of mental retardation, cleft palate, eventration of diaphragm, congenital heart defect, glaucoma, growth failure and craniosynostosis.

A patient is reported with a syndrome of mental retardation, congenital microcephaly, cleft palate, congenital heart defect, eventration of the diaphragm, optic atrophy, and glaucoma. Her facies was Crouzon-like and craniosynostosis, although not present at 10 months, was demonstrated postmortem at 29 months. It is suggested that she is an example of a true multiple congenital anomaly-mental retardation syndrome rather than an example of Crouzon syndrome with additional anomalies.
