Every year, hundreds of families living across Prince Edward County and the Quinte region are impacted by a loved one’s urgent need for medical care. Illness, injury, the premature birth of a child, and the end of life are all part of the collective human experience, and yet when they arrive, everything changes.
Touched by the care his late wife Phyllis received before passing away, and the care he has received at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH), Floyd Snider of Picton was inspired to give back to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation on Tuesday, December 13, with a gift of $10,000.
“Floyd is an outstanding example of the community spirit we see so often in The County. On behalf of the entire hospital, its staff, and patients, I want to thank Floyd for his generosity,” said Shannon Coull, executive director of the PECMH Foundation. “We are extremely grateful for this very generous donation, just in time for Christmas. Remembering loved ones in a manner that will help other people is a legacy that carries special significance.”
