Thanks to our amazing community of Niagara Health Foundation donors, we are proud to share that over 20 stretchers have been purchased for our local Emergency Departments over the past few months. Having critical equipment like these stretchers is about patients’ dignity and comfort, and we couldn’t provide that kind of care without the help of the Foundation and the help of donors.
Surabhi Chawla’s journey with cancer started well before her own diagnosis, when her mother survived breast cancer but later died from a secondary cancer. It was nearly 10 years later when Surabhi got a phone call after one of her routine MRI mammograms to come back for further testing. "I knew cancer was just a bump in the road, and that everybody has their own bumps"
It is estimated that about one in eight Canadian women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, so early detection is crucial. Niagara Health performs thousands of mammograms every year, and Niagara Health Foundation is proud to share that aging mammography equipment was recently replaced with new, state-of-the-art devices, thanks to the generosity of community donors.
The Sleep Lab is one of the quieter areas of the hospital, but they still see over a thousand patients a year. Sleep studies are not just about getting good sleep, they save lives. With the help of the Niagara Health Foundation the Sleep Lab has replaced all three of its systems and the team could not be more grateful for this state-of-the-art, life saving equipment.
Around the holidays, Alexandria and the team at the Children’s Health Unit try to ensure that the kids have a magical time, even under the most difficult circumstances.
When Roxanne’s two-year-old daughter, Briar, came home with a few bruises, she didn’t think much of it. But even on the days Briar was at home, the bruises kept coming.
Legacy donations help our local hospitals deeply. This donation of $200,000 allowed for both our kidney care and mental health units to buy lifesaving equipment.
M.T. Bellies is a local gem. Not only for their delicious food but also for their community service efforts which have raised over $110,000 for the Welland hospital.
Volunteers are the first people you meet when you come into the hospital. They are there to greet and guide you during moments that are often stressful or intimidating. Barb Cornelius, who has been volunteering at the Marotta Family Hospital for seven years, is a fantastic example of generosity and heart, two things that keep this hospital going.
When Miu and Sylvian were met with compassion, care, and kindness in a scary time, they chose to donate to support our local hospitals.
