Henry and Marilyn van Heesch,
owners of Eurohome Appliances,
with locations in Belgrave and the
Wingham area, have pledged to
donate $25,000 to the Wingham and
District Hospital Foundation's Our
Hospital, Our Future campaign over
the next five years.
On March 8, campaign chair Mark
Foxton and campaign team leader
Jenny Hogervorst met the van
Heesch family at their new
showroom on Amberley Road
near Wingham to accept the
donation.
With the showroom located in
Morris-Turnberry and the Euro -Parts
warehouse in Belgrave located in
North Huron, Eurohome Kitchens
and Appliances is a neighbour to the
Wingham and District Hospital
twice over. As such, owner Henry
van Heesch said, "It is important to
us to support the ongoing success of
the hospital that serves our family,
employees and clients.”
The van Heeschs were among the
early donors to the campaign.
Campaign team leader Jenny
Hogervorst said she is "grateful to
have such a community -minded
business make its home in Wingham
and lead the way in this campaign"
The Our Hospital, Our Future
campaign is striving to raise $4
million for the major redevelopment
of the Wingham and District
Hospital. The project will see the
expansion of six hospital
departments including the only
chemotherapy clinic in Huron and
Bruce Counties, the creation of new
rehabilitation space, the replacement
of digital imaging equipment and the
transformation of the former
Wingham Public School into a one-
stop -shop community healthcare
campus.
All gifts to the Our Hospital, Our
Future campaign can be pledged
over a period of up to five years.
