Hospital foundations have become an important source of non-government funding for the acquisition of state-of-the-art equipment. It’s gratifying to be serving as a volunteer on the Board of Directors and contributing to this cause, especially during this period of modernization and expansion of our hospital.

The Hawkesbury and District General Hospital is entering a new era. I am proud to be a part of it and, through my involvement with the HGH Foundation, to help improve access to quality health care for the people of our region. I feel it is important to become involved in my community.

I decided to become involved with the HGH Foundation because I have seen firsthand the incredible care my family members received at the hospital. In one circumstance, the HGH staff saved the life of a member of my family, and in another, helped the one that I loved most dearly in this world pass away with dignity and respect, surrounded and comforted by her family. I will forever be grateful for the care they both received.
