Leaving a Legacy – Ken Mewhinney
The Wingham & District Hospital Foundation is grateful to receive a $3,000 bequest from the Estate of Ken Mewhinney. Presenting the donation are Ken’s siblings Linda Hunter, Kathy Nicholson and Dave Mewhinney.
Ken grew up in Lucknow, was a lifelong farmer and spent the better part of 30 years working for Bennett Farms in Gorrie. His siblings describe him as hardworking and someone who was active in his community. Ken enjoyed curling, broomball and baseball. He also served on several community committees in Lucknow including the 4-H Club and the Ag Society.
Estate gifts are an important part of safeguarding high quality local healthcare for many generations to come. Leaving a gift in your will strikes a balance between protecting the financial security of loved ones while investing in the future of your community. Consider speaking to your lawyer and/or financial planner about leaving a gift in your will to the WDH Foundation.
The WDH Foundation is deeply appreciative of Ken’s gift and his siblings’ graciousness in facilitating the donation. His generosity will make a difference to patience at our hospital for many years to come.
