Every year, the Stratford General Hospital Foundation raises funds to support the ongoing equipment and technology needs of Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) – Stratford General Hospital.
From replacing essential medical equipment to investing in new technologies, these purchases help ensure our healthcare teams have the tools they need to provide exceptional patient care, close to home.
While government funding supports hospital operations, it does not cover the full cost of the equipment and technology our hospital needs. That's where our community comes in.
For 2026–2027, HPHA has identified more than $1.1 million in priority equipment and technology needs for Stratford General Hospital.
With the generosity of our community, the Foundation has committed to funding the entire list.
These investments will support healthcare teams across the hospital, helping them continue to deliver safe, effective and compassionate care for patients and families.
These investments will support healthcare teams across the hospital, helping them continue to deliver safe, effective and compassionate care for patients and families.
Behind every piece of equipment on our Greatest Needs list is a thoughtful and comprehensive planning process.
Each year, the HPHA reviews equipment and technology needs across its hospital sites and programs. Requests are carefully assessed based on several factors, including patient and staff safety, the impact on patient care, equipment age and reliability, and the urgency of replacement.
These needs are considered alongside HPHA's broader clinical and strategic priorities, available funding and future equipment requirements. This helps ensure that the most important needs are identified while balancing immediate priorities with longer-term investments in healthcare.
With many important needs competing for limited resources, not every request can be funded immediately. Priorities can also change when equipment fails unexpectedly or new patient care needs emerge. That's why HPHA regularly reviews and updates its capital equipment plan.
By working closely with HPHA, the Foundation can focus its fundraising efforts on the equipment and technology identified as priorities through this process, helping ensure that donor generosity supports meaningful investments in patient care.
The following equipment and technology have been identified by HPHA as priorities for Stratford General Hospital this year.
Each item represents an investment in the care provided to patients and families across our hospital.
