Volunteers Wanted!

BTHC is looking for outgoing people with warm smiles to welcome patients and visitors at the hospital. These volunteers will aid visitors and patients with locating areas in the building, such as the lab, digital imaging, therapy services, etc. They will also assist patients and visitors by taking them to the areas if needed. Orientation will be provided.

For more information about the Greeter/Wayfinder program or any of our volunteer programs at BTHC, please contact Jerri-Ann Froese at jefroese@southernhealth.ca or (204) 331-8815.

23rd Annual Golf Tournament Raises Over $90,000

Second time was the charm for this year’s annual charity golf tournament! After rain forced a reschedule to August 29th, the weather mostly cooperated for a great day at the Winkler Centennial Golf Course. 144 golfers spent the day on the greens in support of their local hospital and over $90,000 was raised for unique programs, advanced medical equipment, and continuing education at Boundary Trails Health Centre. An exciting addition to the day was the WestJet Gift of Flight elimination draw. Scott McLeod was the lucky winner of a pair of tickets to anywhere WestJet flies! The Foundation would like to thank the players, sponsors and the Winkler golf course for their patience and continued support of its efforts to enhance healthcare in our communities.

BTHC Foundation Makes First Payment Towards $10 Million Pledge

Ahead of the Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation’s Annual General Meeting, the BTHC Foundation Board of Directors presented Southern Health-Santé Sud with its first payment towards the $10 million pledge for the expansion of BTHC. Against the backdrop of a busy construction site, BTHC Foundation Board Chair Ben Friesen, along with Vice Chair Ernie Penner and Executive Director Shannon Samatte-Folkett handed over a cheque for $2.5 million. It’s a truly remarkable achievement when one considers that just 12 short months ago, ground was broken and construction began at the expansion site.

This tremendous milestone would be possible without the continued support, belief in our cause and the trust from our communities. The future of healthcare is being shaped right now because of the generosity of our donors. Thank you!

Lorne Memorial Hospital Foundation Contributes $100,000 to BTHC Expansion

The BTHC Foundation is pleased to announce a generous $100,000 donation from the Lorne Memorial Health Foundation. Understanding the vital role that BTHC plays in providing services to their community members, the Lorne Memorial Health Foundation Board recognized the importance of supporting the BTHC expansion and the expanded services that will be offered in our region. These funds will be used to support the future equipment and programming the expanded facility will require. The BTHC Foundation extends heartfelt thanks to the Lorne Memorial Health Foundation Board for their foresight and this incredible gift that will significantly impact our wider community’s future health and well-being.
