The Campbellford Memorial Hospital (CMH) Foundation, has announced the launch of the 20th Annual Angels of Care Campaign, raising funds for essential equipment and technology for the hospital’s Laboratory, Emergency and Diagnostic Imaging Departments.
This year’s campaign will support the purchase of a portable ultrasound, chemistry freezer, plasma thawer, Workstations on Wheels, Picture Archiving and Communication System, and the Epic Electronic Health Record System and MyChart.
These investments will strengthen diagnostic services and give healthcare teams the tools they need to provide timely, quality care.
CMH Foundation Chair Martha Hunt says, “As we celebrate 20 years of the Angels of Care Campaign, we are reminded of what our community can accomplish when we come together. These investments will make a meaningful difference for our patients and healthcare teams.”
Each year, CMH provides care to more than 42,000 residents.
The Laboratory, Emergency and Diagnostic Imaging Departments are essential to patient care, from emergency assessments to diagnostic testing and treatment. Community support is vital to ensuring the hospital can acquire the equipment and technology needed to maintain and enhance these services.
“When a patient arrives in emergency, every minute matters. Immediate access to diagnostic images, laboratory results and medical history allows us to make critical decisions and begin treatment without delay. This equipment and technology are not simply tools that make our work easier; they are essential to delivering timely care and saving lives,” says Dr. David Li, Chief of Emergency Department at CMH.
Returning for another year, The Matchmakers, a dedicated group of longstanding supporters, have committed up to $200,000 to match Angels of Care donations dollar for dollar. “We are incredibly grateful for their continued generosity and commitment to better healthcare close to home. Their support means every donation can go twice as far,” says Hunt.
Gifts to the Angels of Care Campaign between now and December 31 will be matched dollar for dollar by The Matchmakers, up to their $200,000 commitment.
