The Caring for Generations Society
Stepping inside the Northumberland Hills Hospital, it doesn't take long for patients and visitors to discover the wide array of state-of-the-art equipment that is available to our local communities. From a CT scanner to electric beds, new technology offers exciting new possibilities for patient care at the hospital.
It's important to note, however, that medical equipment typically requires upgrading every five to ten years. At the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation, our goal is to create a strong philanthropic program that will allow us to keep our hospital on the leading edge well into the future.
Members of our local communities are always asking how they can help keep Northumberland Hills Hospital at the forefront of new medical technology. One of the easiest and most rewarding ways to do this is through the Caring for Generations Society. Society memberships are available for a minimum annual donation of $1,000, with many members opting to pay their membership on a monthly ($83.33) or quarterly ($250) basis. Others choose an alternative payment schedule that is even more suitable.
Membership does have its privileges. In addition to knowing that your gift is supporting the important work of the local hospital, members will also be invited to an annual members' reception, and will receive personal invitations to attend other special hospital events throughout the year. Society members will also be treated to special tours of the hospital. "I strongly believe that when living in a community, you should become involved," expresses Dorothy Sifton, Charter Member of the Caring for Generations Society. "The local hospital is the heart of our community, really. I feel that joining the Caring for Generations Society was the right thing to do. My children and grandchildren live here too, so I want our hospital to be as strong as it can possibly be."
