Generous support from a remarkable community ensures all items from St. Joe’s Holiday Wish List will be purchased

St. Joseph’s Health Centre relies on donations to support vital medical equipment that government funding simply does not cover. In fact, donations purchase every piece of equipment used in the direct care of patients and residents.

Thanks to a record-breaking level of support from our community this past winter, much-needed medical equipment will be arriving to help care for those in need of complex hospital, rehabilitation, palliative and long-term care. We are so thankful for your generous donations! Below are some of the items donations will support this year:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michalos Family Increases Match

Every single donation to this year’s Holiday Wish List was doubled thanks to the Michalos Family! After initially commiting to matching donations up to $100,000, the Michalos Family was so inspired by community support that they matched all $107,000 raised.

“It is our privilege to add our support alongside so many others who believe in ensuring St. Joe’s has the equipment it needs to care for us all when we need it most. We were so pleased to see our community support the important healthcare that St. Joe’s provides. For that reason, we decided to exceed our $100,000 pledge so that every single gift to the Holiday Wish List will be matched, dollar-for-dollar. ”
-Ted Michalos

We wish to offer our deepest thanks to this philanthropic family for their inspiring generosity.
