Brockville and District Hospital Foundation

FACT

The government does not fund capital equipment purchases for hospitals – Donors Do.

Over the next 2 years, the Brockville General Hospital will need to replace and upgrade urgently needed equipment at a cost of over $12 Million. As the fundraising arm of the hospital, the Foundation will be planning strategically to achieve this goal.

Minor Equipment Needs

As with any hospital, medical equipment needs are great, and ongoing. Equipment reaches its end of lifecycle much sooner than in the past, and improvements in diagnosis and treatment require new technology. As a result of new medical procedures and technologies, BGH’s needs continue to grow.

If you are donating towards a specific piece of equipment, please make note in the "Additional Information-Comments" section the equipment need you are supporting. Alternatively, you can call our office at 613-345-4478 and speak with someone to make your donation.
