The Board of the Wingham & Dis- trict Hospital Foundation and the Our Hospital, Our Future campaign team are grateful to all the generous donors who have already commit- ted their pledges and set the cam- paign on the path towards success. To date, the Our Hospital, Our Future campaign has raised $1.3 million of the $4 million goal. All the funds raised will go towards the expansion of the only chemotherapy clinic in Huron and Bruce Counties, the pharmacy, out- patient clinic, operating suite, team nursing station, sterilization depart- ment, upgrading digital imaging equipment, creation of new rehabil- itation space, accessible showers, the new front entrance and the crea- tion of a new larger primary care clinic. The clinic will be located in the new Health and Wellness Cam- pus which is being created in the former Wingham Public School. The Health Campus will alleviate the space deficit caused by depart- ment expansions in the Hospital and unite primary care providers in a one -stop -shop location focussed on meeting the needs of an aging population. Work has already begun on some aspects of the redevelopment pro- ject. Recent activities include new flooring and wall finishes in the Emergency Department, renova- tions in the former Boardroom to create a Rehabilitation space closer to the main entrance, and installa- tion of new electrical service and public washrooms in the Health Campus. Tenders have closed for the renovations to the new Health Campus, for the creation of the new Hospital registration area and for an accessible washroom at the main entrance. Directional signage is now in place outside the Hospital. The progress towards the fund- raising goal and the visible begin- nings of the renovations are encouraging. Campaign Chair Mark Foxton said he hopes, "the strong commu- nity support that has helped us reached the $1 million mark will continue and inspire others to get involved as well." An investment in the Wingham & District Hospital is an investment in the future of local healthcare.
