This Holiday Season, Give Thanks Through Giving
Cliff Moon is a lifelong Scugog resident, a retired beloved teacher, a champion of local causes. And if you’ve been at the hospital, there’s a good chance he’s offered you a Werther’s candy and made you smile.
Cliff is a Day Surgery volunteer at Lakeridge Health Port Perry where he sees compassionate
care in action. He sees the dedication and kindness of the healthcare teams caring for patients and families in our community.
But Cliff also knows what it feels like to be on the other side of that care.
When his wife, Susan, experienced a medical crisis, she needed emergency care and was admitted as an in-patient at Port Perry Hospital. The care and compassion she received made a lasting impression on both of them.
Cliff also experienced the importance of regional care firsthand. When he needed joint replacement surgery, he received his care at Lakeridge Health Ajax-Pickering. His experience reinforced what he already knew: our community depends on both local care and the specialized services available across the Lakeridge Health system.
Behind every patient is a team of dedicated healthcare professionals doing everything they can to provide the best possible care. And those teams need our support.
This is where you can make a difference.
Keeping equipment current is essential to timely high-quality care. Some equipment is easy to see, like patient monitors at the bedside continuously tracking a patient’s condition and alerting care teams when something needs their attention.
Other equipment works quietly behind the scenes. Laboratory equipment provides critical information that physicians rely on to diagnose conditions, monitor patients and determine the right treatment.
Government funding does not cover everything hospitals need to provide care. The support of generous donors like you helps make essential medical equipment, technology and innovation possible.
And so, we are asking you to give generously.
You can help Port Perry Hospital Foundation provide the equipment and technology that healthcare teams need to care for patients in our community. And, should you so choose, your donation can also support essential regional care across the Lakeridge Health system.
Please take a moment today to make your gift by donating online at www.pphfoundation.ca/give-today and receive your charitable tax receipt at once, or call the Foundation office at 905-985-7321 X 45580.
Your gift this holiday will help equip the dedicated people who care for us: physicians, nurses and medical teams, so they can continue providing high-quality care when it matters most. Exceptional care starts with dedicated people. Your support gives them the tools they need.
Thank you for helping make exceptional care possible.
With sincere thanks,
Rachel Agnoluzzi, CEO
Port Perry Hospital Foundation
