The Collingwood G&M Hospital Foundation recently hosted an evening featuring stories from donors, patients and a panel of Collingwood General and Marine Hospital (CGMH) physicians and leaders. The audience at the Simcoe Street Theatre learned how innovation thrives at CGMH and how community support helps stretch the limits of government funding to provide care that surpasses that of a typical rural hospital.
The event celebrated donor impact and showcased the ways in which the foundation invests in the betterment of the community by seeking out innovative programs and equipment.
The panel included CGMH president Michael Lacroix, chief of staff Dr. Michael Lisi, chief of emergency medicine Dr. Gregory Devet, chief of obstetrics and gynaecology Dr. Gillian Yeates and operating room lead physician Dr. Jesse Guscott.
“Our hope is that our audience will be moved by the stories and be inspired to play a role in growing a healthy and thriving South Georgian Bay community,” says foundation president and CEO Jory Pritchard-Kerr. “This is not a fundraiser, but rather a chance to inspire and inform.”
