Without you we have nothing.

Every piece of patient care equipment
is at our hospital because donors cared.

“We think of our Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) - Stratford General Hospital like an insurance policy. We know we need the policy, but we hope we never need to use it! Life has been good to our family and the Stratford General Hospital Foundation’s In Our Hands Capital Campaign is the perfect way for us to give back to the community while ensuring we can receive the best  quality care close to home, if ever needed. This has also been an opportunity for us to teach our grandchildren about giving and helping others.”

“The In Our Hands Capital Campaign is about providing the highest level of care possible here for the people of Stratford and area. It helps with the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals as people want to work in the best  environment possible.”

~ Paul Roulston, In Our Hands Capital Campaign Co-chair

“What people don’t realize is that the government pays for some of the bricks and mortar and operations. They don’t pay for any of the equipment in the building, so all the beds, the MRI, the CT Scanner, none of that is funded by the government. It’s all paid for by you and me and our generous community.”

~ Rick Orr, In Our Hands Capital Campaign Co-chair

Cancer Can Affect Anyone

“Cancer can affect anyone. It doesn’t care who you are or what you think; whether you’re rich or poor, male or female, whether you take care of yourself or not,” says Dr. Janis MacNaughton, an Internal Medicine Specialist at the HPHA - Stratford General Hospital site.

“Our current Chemotherapy space is very crowded. We don’t have adequate rooms to discuss things where others can’t overhear it. There’s no privacy or confidentiality,” notes Dr. MacNaughton. “And the confined space is a very difficult environment in which to work. Typically our chairs are filled with reclining patients…and there are pumps, IVs and monitors to constantly work around. At times, it’s so crowded that staff are forced to ask patient support persons to temporarily leave - a decision that’s made reluctantly, but out of necessity. Not only are numbers of patients steadily growing, but so is the complexity of treatment regimens.”

In Memory of Jack & Teresa Van Nes, a Transformational Donation supports the Cancer Care & Medical Clinic

Jack and Teresa Van Nes were local farmers who cared about their community. They actively supported many local organizations focused on building a better future for everyone. They understood the importance of giving, especially to their local hospital, knowing there was no government funding for new and replacement medical equipment. Jack and Teresa wanted to invest in the healthcare system, strengthening it not only for themselves but for the entire community.
