Parked on the front lawn of the hospital, the blue Camaro was the featured “guest” at the Kemptville District Hospital (KDH) Foundation Community BBQ on Sept. 23, 2023. It was the first day of Autumn, a beautiful sunny day! Attendees were welcome to sit in the car, take selfies and buy a ticket to win the car and support the campaign to bring a CT Scanner to KDH.

Free hotdogs and cake were provided from the Foundation to thank the community for its support of KDH. Many children enjoyed the face painting and fun swag bags. Annie’s Lemonade generously donated its proceeds to the fundraising event and O’Dell Associates Inc. gave out free frozen treats. Live and recorded music by J.A.M. Productions was greatly appreciated by all the guests. J.A.M. announced it will soon release a CD featuring local musicians, with proceeds to the KDH CT Scanner.

The CT Scanner is a vital diagnostic tool which will bring better patient care, faster care and closer to home care. We need to raise $2.2M. Your local hospital needs YOU to help bring the CT Scanner to Kemptville.

The draw for the Grand Prize is October 26. Buy your ticket today!

3 REASONS YOUR HOSPITAL DESPERATELY NEEDS A CT SCANNER

Better Care.

Patient care has become more complex. Issues may go undetected for too long without a CT scan to support diagnosis.

Faster Care

Waiting for results feels like an eternity when you're in crisis. With an on-site CT scanner, patients can get answers quickly, rather than having to wait and travel to Ottawa for a scan.

Close to Home

Having a CT scan onsite means you can take a 1-minute gurney ride to the diagnostic imaging department.

When you’re sick, being away from home is even harder. Less travel time means you find out what’s wrong with you faster, with your loved ones at your side.

THANK YOU

to our generous sponsors

Kemptville District Hospital Foundation Board Chair, Margret Norenberg, and KDH Foundation Executive Director Joanne Mavis, were thrilled to accept a cheque for $12,163 from Kemptville Tim Hortons owners Ingrid Kohling and Jose Salvador. The money, raised at the two Kemptville Tim Hortons locations during September’s #smilecookie campaign, will be used to support Children’s Mental Health Programs in North Grenville.

At the last meeting of the Foundation on April 5th, the Board approved $475,000 in funding to KDH to purchase much needed equipment, including $200,000 for the first down payment on the new CT scanner

A big “Thank You” to Tom and Nancy for their recent gift of stock valued at over $100,000. This amazing donation will be used towards the purchase of a new CT Scanner for KDH.

Myers has supported the Foundation through sponsorships, donated prizes and through the Health Check for Change program, which donates $10 from every multi-point vehicle inspection to the Foundation. To date, Myers has donated over $10,000.

Michael Wallace, KDH Foundation Board member echoed Mr. Clark’s sentiment.

The Foundation needs to raise $2 million to purchase a new CT scan. The support of the business community will be critical to bringing a much-needed CT scan to Kemptville.

“We’re very happy to make this donation to such an important initiative for the Foundation”, says Bob McVeigh, General Manager, Myers Kemptville.

Thank you, Myers Kemptville Chevrolet Buick GMC, for being a Community Hero!

The KDH Foundation was honoured to receive a very generous bequest from the Estate of Mr. Richard H. Sylvester in the amount of $307,929.93, who passed away in 2018. His partner Diane Keenan of 43 years (pictured below, third from left) and her family were invited to KDH for the unveiling of a plaque that was installed in Richard's memory. These funds are being used to purchase new equipment for the Hospital.
