We’re hoping this year’s event will be the final push we need to complete our 10% commitment to the Hospital for the Capital Infrastructure Project!

Beverly Derouard, a local Pampered Chef consultant had generously offered to team up with the Hospital Foundation to raise money for our Hospital! Come by the Hospital Lobby (near the Gift Shop) and take a look at Pampered Chef’s special ‘Whip Cancer’ product line and place your order just in time for Mother’s Day! A Portion of the Proceeds will go to the Hospital Foundation for use in purchasing important medical equipment, including upgrades to our mammography equipment!

Invite your friends and family! Everyone is welcome to come out and chat with Beverly on May 3rd and 7th, or place orders with the Foundation staff during the week!

The 14th Annual Meyers Norris Penny / Hospital Foundation Charity Golf Classic is coming!

Save the Dates and Invites have been sent out, and our team list is full of local golfers and seasonal residents. As always, we filled up fast and are constructing a wait-list for interested persons. Wait-listed golfers should know that they may be contacted to golf as late as the day of the tournament.

We’ve got some really great sponsors and prizes lined up this year, and it’s sure to be a great day for all involved.

If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering, we’d love to have you!

Please contact Lindsay at the Foundation Office: (807) 468-9861 ex. 2469 or by e mail at lwenaas@lwdh.on.ca

Tree of Life Campaign 2009 

Believe it or not, it’s that time of year again. Christmas is just around the corner and the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is hoping to light up the night again with our annual Tree of Life Campaign.

Our supporters have always been very generous when it comes to out Tree of Life campaign and we hope that we can count on your continued support. There is something magical about the Christmas season that brings out the best in people and we appreciate every bit of generosity that you send our way.

A bulb can be lit for as little as a $10.00 donation. All proceeds go towards the Hospital Foundation as we continue to financially support the capital needs of your hospital, which would otherwise be unattainable. Remember a loved one by brightening the tree or contribute just because it feels good to do so.

The Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is a life line between you and your hospital and the needs are ongoing. New technology ages in dog years with equipment quickly becoming obsolete as it is replaced by bigger, better, faster and necessary equipment. This equipment is necessary in order to continue to provide the quality care patients deserve and have come to expect. The daily workings of your hospital create a need to constantly maintain and improve its interior.

Your generosity has an important impact on all those who walk through the doors. We hope you are able to help us reach our goals by making our Tree of Life shine brighter than ever before.

Thank you for helping your hospital help you!
