About Us – The South Muskoka Hospital Foundation

Welcome from George Edwards
Chair, South Muskoka Hospital Foundation Board

A warm welcome to the South Muskoka Hospital Foundation website.

We are so fortunate live in Muskoka… a part of the world that offers opportunity and abundance that most can only dream about. And yet… we often take what we have for granted.

But having access to excellent health care does not happen by chance. It only happens when we all work together. We must ensure that our nurses and physicians have the tools and equipment they need to continue delivering quality and professional care.

Today… our hospital is strong and our future is bright. Let’s keep it that way by providing the much-needed funds to purchase up-to-date equipment and technology and support these professionals who are there to provide care when you need it most.

As a father of two special needs children, I have had an opportunity to visit many hospitals throughout Canada and the US and so I know from experience that the level of care that we provide here in Bracebridge is among the best.

Let’s keep our hospital strong.

Together… we can make a real and lasting difference.

History
The South Muskoka Memorial Hospital Foundation was established in 1980 to support the compassionate care of patients at the South Muskoka Memorial Hospital Site. At the heart of South Muskoka Hospital Foundation is our commitment to three central priorities:

Improving our physical campus to provide the best possible patient care environment;
Developing and furthering our core programs and services;
Preparing for unexpected and urgent circumstances by bolstering our unrestricted funds.

It is only through a strong partnership with caring, committed donors that the hospital can continue to offer outstanding medicine to every patient who walks through its doors. Together South Muskoka Hospital Foundation is building a healthier community through philanthropy.
