Kinsmen Club of Teeswater & District Donates $20,000 to Wingham Hospital

The Kinsmen Club of Teeswater has followed through on its $50,000 pledge made toward the major renovations at the Wingham & District Hospital. The Club has completed its pledge one year earlier than anticipated with this most recent donation of $20,000. 

The Teeswater Club has been especially successful in their fundraising efforts over the past year allowing them to make this significant donation to the Hospital ahead of schedule. Their support was integral to the success of the Our Hospital, Our Future Campaign which helped to fund the construction of the new Oncology department at the Wingham & District Hospital as well as improvements to many other departments including the surgical suite which is currently being renovated.  

The Kinsmen raise funds through events such as the Teeswater Fall Fair, Men’s Steak Night, Fishing Derby, Spook House, Santa Claus Parade and more.

The Directors of the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation are sincerely grateful to the Kinsmen and hope that they can continue to work together to ensure our hospital remains a vital part of our community for generations to come.

Our doctors, our nurses, the digital imaging department, and the rest of the staff at the hospital provide that compassionate care that everyone looks for when they walk into their local hospital. And, I think we’ve got one of the best local hospitals in Southwestern Ontario.

I donate in memory and in honour of my Mom and Dad. I am sure they would be thrilled to realize that our family has continued giving, but more importantly, hopefully encourage more people to donate to the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation. All three of us, at one time or another, received outstanding care at the hospital when we were patients. We have a strong connection with the hospital! I know the community feels very fortunate to have a local hospital – which is an excellent one – as it plays such an important part in everyone’s lives.
