Our podcast is called A Day Away as we talk about tomorrow a lot around here. As a Foundation, our work is always future-planning and forward-thinking to ensure we can provide and care for generations to come. Today, our community benefits from the generosity of those that gave before them. And now, we are embarking on our biggest and boldest mission yet, to build South Georgian Bay’s Hospital of Tomorrow: expanding healthcare services for our fast-growing community, improving patient safety and privacy, helping to retain and recruit top healthcare professionals and build on our strength in rural, interprofessional education and training. We are working to build the new hospital that South Georgian Bay needs and deserves. With your help, our new facility will be ready to support all of us when we need it most- when tomorrow comes.

“This is a small hospital, and they do a great job at staying on top of technology, attracting good surgeons and a great healthcare team. I think our hospital has a lot to offer, and this is part of the reason why we think it is important to donate, and we hope others will do so as well.”
