Giving to Lakeridge Health
The work of the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation, Bowmanville Hospital Foundation, Lakeridge Health Foundation, and Port Perry Hospital Foundation inspire community support and giving.
By fundraising and encouraging donations, these foundations support the best care at their respective hospitals (Ajax Pickering, Bowmanville, Oshawa/Whitby, and Port Perry) to enable Lakeridge Health to provide that care close to home.
The foundations are separate organizations; however, they work together to support the best possible health care for Durham Region. Every program and department across the organization benefits from the activities of our four foundations. Together, they:
-
Help to fund essential medical equipment, technology, capital needs (the community share of these costs), other essential enhancements, educational opportunities, and research initiatives.
-
Work with our programs, departments, health-care teams, staff, and leadership to explain the impact of fundraising and what it enables for our patients.
-
Act as ambassadors for Lakeridge Health, sharing good news stories and needs through timely communications.
-
Make presentations to current and potential donors, whether one-on-one, in group settings, or at special events.
-
Build goodwill and gratitude for Lakeridge Health through fundraising events that engage medical staff and the community.
The efforts of our foundations improve the quality of services for patients and their families, as well as for team members. The foundations foster a culture of community-based philanthropy. They help to position Lakeridge Health as a leading hospital system in Ontario, well-equipped to provide compassionate and leading-edge health care for our community today and for years to come.
