Thank you to the following donors who dream with us ...
TD Canada Trust Education Pledge
TD Canada Trust continued its corporate commitment to staff and physician education by pledging $50,000 towards the gold standard of obstetrical patient care. The MORE OB program will provide better patient outcomes, increased staff satisfaction and significant efficiency gains. MORE OB is a 3 year training and education leadership program that delivers crucial education for team members including physicians, midwives, nurses, anaesthetists and respiratory therapists. Additionally, this program funding will play an important role in attracting and keeping staff and physicians at our community Hospital.

Volunteering Can Help Raise Funds
Many companies support the volunteer work of employees, both present and retired, by making monitary donations to organizations for which you volunteer. Some companies will even match your donation.
If your employer (past or present) supports initiatives like this, let us know and we can assist with the paperwork to apply for a donation to the G&M Hospital Foundation.
Please contact the Foundation at (705) 444-8645 for more information.

You cannot hold on to anything good. You must be continually giving - and getting. You cannot hold on to your seed. You must sow it - and reap anew. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and get other riches in return.
