Recognizing the important role the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) plays in our community and the significant role it played in my family’s life, I felt compelled to dedicate some of my time and skills to the benefit of the HGH Foundation. HGH would not be what it is today had it not been for the contribution of donors and volunteers over the past several years. As you all know, a community flourishes when its residents help each other, as together we can make a difference. Being part of the HGH Foundation is one of the ways I can give back to a hospital and a community I care deeply about.

A long time ago, I heard this proverb “He who has health is rich without knowing it,” but I had never stopped to think about it deeply until the moment when I had it and my family needed it. Now I know it and I live it! On a daily basis, health, in all its imaginable forms, is present and the first wish for all people.

It is a privilege for me to offer my financial support and my time to the HGH Foundation. Surrounded by an outstanding team of volunteers, a warm growing community and amazing staff, I feel so at home. Join us in leaving your mark today and for generations to come.

After many years of working at the hospital, I have seen the direct impact the Foundation has on the level and quality of care provided. Being able to contribute to the future of our hospital, where my friends and family go for their care is vital to me. Volunteering my time to the Foundation Board is simply one more way that I can help patients get the help they need and deserve.

I am at a point in my life where I feel the need to give back to my community. Being part of the HGH Foundation team, an important pillar of the region, is a privilege for me. I feel well surrounded and I am proud to actively contribute to this indispensable organization.

It is important for me to give back to the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital, where my four children were born. The hospital is a pillar of healthcare in our region and an essential part of our economy. The hospital enhances our community by providing high-quality services locally, and it is vital to support it so it can continue serving our residents.

Having worked as a nurse and director at HGH for 41 years, I have witnessed firsthand the impact the Foundation has had on the continuous improvement of services and on the quality of life of our patients and their families. I have also been able to see and hear the satisfaction of HGH’s patients. Through modernization and cutting-edge diagnostic tools, our community benefits from quality care close to home. Volunteering with the HGH Foundation is my way of saying thank you and being able to continue to contribute to my community and MY hospital.

I have been a patient of HGH both in the emergency department and at outpatient clinics. Each time, I have been impressed by the dedication and skill set of the staff. Now is my time to give back.

I have some experience of working with not-for-profit corporations, and I hope to be able to bring some of my skills and experiences to benefit the Foundation in its raising and donating of funds for the hospital.

I believe that by supporting the local hospital, we help the entire community. It brings me great excitement to be a part of a growing community to help build a better future.

Hawkesbury and the surrounding areas are beautiful and I feel we are lucky to enjoy life in the country while still having access to quality health care services and talented professionals. I am honoured to be a part of the Foundation and to contribute to the community with my skill set and time!
