GUELPH – St. Joseph’s Health Centre Guelph took a big leap forward in its $15-million Building Better Healthcare Campaign with a $500,000 donation from the WC Wood Foundation.
The recent gift brings the foundation’s total contribution to the campaign to more than $750,000.
“Healthcare affects every single one of us,” said Susan Frasson, a WC Wood Foundation representative and honorary chair of St. Joseph’s major fundraising campaign.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have an institution of this calibre right here in Guelph, and we hope our gift encourages our generous community to come together to strengthen St. Joe’s today and well into the future.”
St. Joseph’s Health Centre is planning significant enhancements across its complex, including new patient rooms, revitalizing care spaces, expanding therapeutic and clinical programs, and investing in new equipment and technologies.
The Building Better Healthcare Campaign will ensure St. Joseph’s – Guelph’s only complex care and rehabilitation hospital – will be able to meet growing demands on healthcare while preserving its commitment to dignity, comfort and healing, officials stated in a press release.
“The WC Wood Foundation has been a true partner in our mission for many years,” stated Sera Filice, CEO of St. Joseph’s Foundation.
“Their leadership, vision and remarkable support will help us transform care environments, modernize our facilities and give our staff the tools they need to provide the very best care to every person we serve.
“We are deeply grateful for their commitment and leadership of this campaign.”
