Niagara Health Foundation donors Anna and Roman A. Groch are proud members of our Legacy Society. Roman's family instilled in him how important hospitals are to our local community, and through time, experience and understanding Roman began to realize that hospitals are the foundation of our communities. After his own experience with Niagara Health they decided to join our wonderful community of donors in hopes to make a difference in our local healthcare.
When Niagara resident Laurene saw the amazing care her grandson received at Niagara Health, she took the time to reach out and submit a compliment. Laurene says that soon after being triaged, her grandchildren would be brought directly to the Children’s Health Unit. It’s a clinical pathway Niagara Health introduced recently to better support pediatric patients with lower acuity. While Laurene hopes her grandsons don’t have to return to the ED, she is grateful for the change Niagara Health has brought to her family and families across the region.
Niagara Health Foundation donor Bob Czerlau clearly remembers what first inspired him to give back to his local hospital. It was while he was sitting with his brother, who had just suffered a stroke. It gave Bob a deep appreciation for our healthcare system – a system he himself would have to rely on several years later.
Over 600 newborn babies are cared for in Niagara Health’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) each year, and one of those tiny patients was Daniel. Amidst medical terms, tubes, and fears, Leanne found comfort in the support she received from the nurses.
The Oncology department at Niagara Health cares for hundreds of patients every year and was grateful to receive five new sleeper beds, thanks to the amazing generosity of Rankin Cancer Run participants. These fold-out sleepers, which can serve as a chair or a bed, provide a small source of comfort for family members during an unfathomable time.
Thanks to the generosity of Niagara Health Foundation donors, we are excited to share that a new Ultrasound Machine has been purchased for Niagara Health’s Emergency Department. Niagara Health Foundation raised over $60,000 dollars to purchase this piece of equipment. It helps provide clear and reliable images during life-saving procedures and in central line insertions.
The Orthopaedic Surgery Department at Niagara Health performs over 1000 joint replacements and fracture repairs each year. To meet the ever-growing need for these procedures, Niagara Health Foundation donors have raised $180,000 to purchase a brand-new orthopaedic surgery table.
Thanks to our amazing community of Niagara Health Foundation donors, our local hospitals recently purchased 38 new cystoscopes to replace aging equipment.
This year, Liebling Wines partnered with the Walker Family Cancer Centre (WFCC) to give back in a meaningful way. Thanks to the support of wine lovers across the region, the promotion raised a total of $1,780 to help cancer patients and their families.
After Leanne Wright’s son Daniel was born, he had to stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for five days. While it was a scary and difficult time for their family, Leanne was grateful for the amazing care he received at Niagara Health. “I don’t think I’ll ever forget the care they have given to us. They went beyond their basic duties, and it has made us feel more human.”
