Matching Campaign to Purchase a New X-Ray Machine
The KDH Foundation pleased to announce a matching fundraising campaign to purchase a new x-ray machine thanks to a generous donor.
Gavin Murphy understands the importance of high quality, safe health care. He pledges to match every dollar people donate to the campaign – up to $230,000 – doubling every donation! This isn’t the first time Murphy has supported healthcare initiatives regionally; he also donated $500,000 to The Ottawa Hospital Foundation.
“I strongly believe in a universal, publicly funded healthcare system,” said Murphy. “Everyone should have access to healthcare services because it’s equitable and just.”
Murphy, an Ottawa resident, had hip surgery at KDH just before Christmas last year, and was impressed by the staff, physicians and volunteers, who he referred to as “wonderful people.”
“I want to challenge the community to come on this journey with me and match my dollars to fund this critical diagnostic tool,” said Murphy.
One of the x-ray machines that KDH relies on to deliver vital patient care is approaching 16 years in operation, which far exceeds the typical life cycle of 10 years. The x-ray machine has reached its end of life and must be replaced.
