About the Foundation
The Foundation was incorporated in 1989 as a registered charity, Registration # 12678 1442 RR0001, with a commitment to raise funds for the betterment of our Hospital. Successful projects in the past include: a Medical Model Day Hospital addition, emergency and ambulatory equipment, electronic beds, a nurse call system, two palliative care rooms, and operating room equipment.
The Hanover and District Hospital Foundation is an active organization that is comprised of a volunteer board of directors that is proud to have strong community support for many events throughout the year. Some of these events include: a Dinner and Dream Auction Gala, raffles, Canada Day Barbecue, Christmas Tree Ornament Campaign, and the CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon. The funds raised are used to provide more than just basic hospital and health care services in a rural community like ours.
With Sincerest Thanks...
Dear Friends,
The Foundation is raising funds for a newborn security system and associated equipment. This will ensure our hospital has an incredibly safe and supportive atmosphere for welcoming our youngest patients into the world. The 8th Annual CKNX Health Care Heroes Radiothon was a huge success. We appreciate your support in raising $45,000 toward our "Newborn Equipment" project. We salute our donors, the real heroes of local health care.
Thank you for your continued support! A sincere THANK YOU to everyone who attended our Radiothon Family Fun Day at the Hanover Legion on October 17, 2009.

2009 Christmas Tree Ornament Campaign
To Our Generous Donors:
On behalf of the Hanover and District Hospital Foundation I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your Christmas donation.
The theme of our Christmas appeal was “Here to Help Those You Love” and our goal was to raise $25,000 for a special palliative care room. Your generous donations exceeded our goal raising $25,650. Thank you ever so much!
A vacant room that is unused will be renovated and modified for acute and isolation palliative care patients. This special palliative care room will help complete the circle of care and provide comfort and support to the patient and their loved ones.
Our Christmas Tree Ornament campaign shared the spirit of the holidays and showed the true passion that we all have for our hospital. Two beautiful 12-foot Christmas trees – one in the main lobby and one in the emergency entrance lobby were adorned with tribute cards and ornaments and filled with memories and special thoughts. It was heartwarming to see patients, visitors and staff, enjoy the beauty of the trees.
On behalf of all of us at the Hanover and District Hospital Foundation, we wish to express our warmest greeting and best wishes for a happy and healthy New Year.
Your generous donation will help improve the quality of care we provide at the Hanover and District Hospital. Thank you very much!
