Hawkesbury, Wednesday, June 25, 2025 – The Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation held its Annual Meeting on Monday, June 23 with its members and staff in attendance. The meeting provided an opportunity to celebrate and recognize the incredible generosity of the Foundation’s donors and volunteers and the impact they have had at the hospital in 2024-2025.

The HGH Foundation contributed close to $1.2M to the hospital in 2024-25.  This supported the purchase of medical equipment for a wide range of new services including the treatment of kidney stones and a new spine surgery program. But it also funded special initiatives for patients and staff including a special rest cabin with heated massage, meditation, and light therapy for staff and physicians as well as a personalized colouring kit for every child visiting the Emergency Department.

“Our success is a true reflection of our community’s generosity, its affinity for its hospital and the amazing care we have all received there”, said Pierre Souligny, Chair of the Board of Directors.
