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: an ultrasound machine, newborn equipment, a Medical Model Day Hospital addition, emergency and ambulatory equipment, electronic beds, a nurse call system, three 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 gearing up for the 9th Annual CKNX Healthcare Heroes Radiothon, which will take place on October 16, 2010 from 9 am to 5 pm. The Foundation hopes to raise $50,000 towards the $145,000 cost of a cardiac monitor and telemetry system upgrade. Fifteen Midwestern Ontario hospital foundations are involved, and we encourage you to pick up a phone and make a pledge to support healthcare in your area.
In conjunction with the Radiothon we will be hosting a Lunch and Learn - "Your Health" at the Hospital main lobby! Drop by between 11 am and 2 pm to visit the health booths, tour the garden, walk the Fit-Trail, and enjoy light refreshments! Collect stamps from the health booths for your chance to win a great door prize. For more information or to get involved please contact the Foundation.
A special thank you to Grant’s Your Independent Grocer for their very generous donation to the Radiothon. From June 18th to 25th, shoppers were asked to donate a toonie in support of the Hospital, and an outstanding $4,014 was raised! Thank you to all of the Grant's staff and the generous donors for making a difference in your hospital!
In addition, the annual Christmas Ornament Campaign will run throughout the month of December. Looking for more ways to get involved? Please contact the Foundation office and see the “How to Donate” section of the website for ideas of how you can help keep quality health care at the Hanover and District Hospital.
The Garden of Fond Memories
The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart.
No words could be truer for anyone who has noticed the new Garden of Fond Memories being constructed in front of the hospital, in memory of Karen Roseborough. Karen was a credit to the nursing profession and the hospital from 1963 until she retired in 2001. Bill, her husband and best friend, has very generously donated the garden not only in her honour, but also as a tribute to doctors, nurses, and other hospital staff. There are many opportunities within the garden to make dedications to loved ones or just to have a place for reflection and meditation. Order forms and brochures can be downloaded from the right.
The official garden dedication ceremony took place on June 19, 2010. “I hope that when people are visiting at the hospital as patients or visitors, they can find some peace in this garden” – Bill Roseborough.
