2025-26 ANNUAL REPORT
Message from the Board President and Executive Director
Dear Friends,
What a year it has been.
Time and time again, we’ve been reminded of the incredible impact this community can have when we come together. Because of your generosity, care at HGH continues to grow in meaningful and tangible ways that touch patients, families, and staff every single day.
This year, patients benefited from faster diagnostics, improved emergency care, and more advanced equipment, all right here close to home. At the same time, our healthcare teams were supported with the tools, training, and spaces they need to do what they do best: care for others.
We’re also seeing exciting progress in pediatric care. As the hospital continues to expand services through its partnership with CHEO, more children in our region are able to receive specialized care closer to home. Through the Foundation, donors are helping make this growth possible by funding important equipment and training. This is making a real difference for families.
And it’s not just about the big investments. It’s in the quieter moments too. A staff member taking a break to recharge. A child feeling more at ease during a visit. A patient experiencing comfort in an unexpected way.
All of this is possible because of you.
Thanks to your continued support, the HGH Foundation contributed close to $850,000 this year toward priority equipment, programs, and initiatives that strengthen care across our hospital.
We hope that as you read this report, you see the difference you’re making. Not just in dollars, but in real moments of care, comfort, and compassion.
Thank you for being such an important part of this.
With sincere thanks,
