Niagara Health Foundation is honoured to announce and celebrate a historic gift from Greg and Diane Slaight that will truly transform the care that patients receive at Niagara Health. This incredible and generous contribution will be directed towards critical patient care equipment and priority needs across Niagara Health, the Walker Family Cancer Centre and the South Niagara Hospital project.

Greg and Diane’s unparalleled $60-million gift is the largest donation ever made to the Niagara Health Foundation. $45-million of the gift will address priority patient care needs and the advancement and treatment of health needs at Niagara Health for Niagara’s 485,000 residents. $10-million from the gift will support the Walker Family Cancer Centre, which will ensure that patients can receive cancer diagnosis and treatment close to home.
