Wingham hospital gets $216,000 injection from volunteers, board members
The campaign volun-
teers and the members of
the Wingham & District
Hospital Foundation
Board have collectively
pledged $216,000 to the
Our Hospital, Our Future
campaign. These personal
gifts have been essential
to helping the campaign
reach 42% of the fundrais-
ing goal to date.
The WDH Foundation
Board was the first group
of people to believe that it
was possible for the com-
munity to come together
to raise $4 million to sup-
port the major redevelop-
ment of the Hospital. The
campaign management
team is the group of
volunteers who has been
working throughout our
community to secure
donations totaling $1.7
million so far. This group
of volunteers has been
generous with their time,
which they have spent
working to ensure the best
healthcare is available to
everyone in our commu-
nities, that they have been
equally generous with
their personal donations
to the campaign is
gratifying.
Any members of the
community considering
making their own dona-
tion to the Our Hospital,
Our Future campaign can
rest assured that all the
people leading this initia-
tive are confident enough
in the project to take
action themselves. To fur-
ther demonstrate how
important the Wingham &
District Hospital and the
Our Hospital, Our Future
project is these deter-
mined volunteers have
recorded short videos
sharing what the Hospital
means to them. Follow the
Wingham District Hospi-
tal Foundation on Face -
book or visit www.wdh-
foundation.ca to see the
videos as they appear over
the coming weeks.
These volunteers will
continue their work seek-
ing donations in the
community. All funds
raised will support the
expansion of six Hospital
departments, replacement
of digital imaging equip-
ment and the creation of a
primary care health cam-
pus unique to rural
healthcare.
The entire community
also has the opportunity
to be part of the Our Hos-
pital, Our Future cam-
paign by pledging a dona-
tion during the CKNX
Healthcare Heroes Radio-
thon on May 12th. All
donations to the Wingham
& District Hospital Foun-
dation made that day will
go towards the major
redevelopment.

would not take this fact into
consideration as it was a matter
between ACW and Snowden.
