Living. Giving. Caring.
We work with the community to put life-saving equipment into the hands of the staff and physicians at Georgetown Hospital.
The Foundation is the Hospital’s fundraising arm. It is a registered charitable organization governed by a volunteer board of directors who live in this community and are dedicated to enabling the best healthcare for the people of Halton Hills.
The Foundation’s mission is to raise funds to enhance the healthcare services provided by the Georgetown Hospital for the people of Halton Hills. We solicit, administer, invest and protect donations given for improvements to hospital services and facilities.
The Foundation’s role is crucial because:
The Ministry of Health does not provide all the funds necessary to purchase new or replacement equipment that the Hospital requires to keep pace with the progress of medical technology;
The Ministry of Health will only fund up to 50% of a Ministry approved Hospital construction project; and,
The Hospital must rely on community support for the amounts not funded by the Ministry for medical equipment and approved construction projects.
This funding arrangement has been in place since the hospital first opened in 1961. The result is that each year the Hospital turns to the Foundation to fund the purchase of key medical equipment, renovations and services that otherwise would not be funded.
Good healthcare means patient care provided by skilled, compassionate health care professionals using the right tools and equipment. Your support of the Foundation helps ensure the best healthcare for the people of Halton Hills.
