GGH reaches $30 million; now $4 million away from fundraising goal
GUELPH - Thanks to the support of close to 7,600 donors, The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital announced that its capital campaign, Together, We Care, has reached the $30 million mark, leaving just $4 million to go.
Donors to the campaign will make three important projects possible: expand the strained emergency department to provide more space, including new, private areas to support better mental health and addictions care; upgrade the special care nursery to support the best possible care and comfort for vulnerable newborns, and their parents; and purchase state-of-the art, innovative equipment to provide faster, better and safer diagnosis, infection management, and treatment for patients.
The $30 million is a combination of cash and pledges.
More than $10 million in campaign donor funds have been transferred to the hospital already, funding a long list of critically needed equipment that would otherwise not have been possible.
Foundation CEO Suzanne Bone notes, “In reaching this $30-million milestone, our goal feels within reach, with just $4 million to go. Every donation we receive will make a difference and help us fully fund each important priority.”
