Surgeon consults with patient

Under Quinte Health’s regional integrated system, County residents often go to Belleville General Hospital (BGH) and Trenton Memorial Hospital (TMH) for medical care, just as patients from other Quinte Health regions come to The County for endoscopic procedures.

On occasion, PECMHF will fund equipment for our regional hospitals within Quinte Health that benefits residents of Prince Edward County. An example is the use of the MRI machine at BGH. Quinte Health allocates a share of the costs proportional to the number of County residents that use those services.

Dialysis chairs and equipment

The Dialysis Unit in Picton located at PECMH, part of the South East Regional Renal Program at Kingston Health Sciences Centre, provides County residents who require dialysis with treatment three times a week. Patients no longer need to travel to Belleville or Kingston for this essential service.

Our Hospital. Our Legacy.

"PECMHF raises funds to ensure the patients of our hospital and the people of Prince Edward County have access to healthcare, close to home. Years ago, I learned an obvious truth: you don’t plant hardwoods for yourself, but rather for the next generation.

 

It’s the same way with helping fund our hospital. You may never have to use it, but you almost certainly know someone who someday will. 

 

We are blessed to have a great hospital here, in Prince Edward County. But we are also blessed to have a diverse population that supports it. That includes full-time residents, local businesses, visitors and seasonal residents. We are all working together in this and everyone has a role to play. Donors have the power to make a tremendous difference. Your donation today, is an investment in our hospital’s future. It’s not just our hospital, it’s our legacy." – Dr. Cliff Rice

"When you plant a tree, you may never live to sit in its shade, but you know someone who will."
