A Wall and a Website

Briar Boyce • May 14, 2022

If you’ve had a reason to visit our hospital recently, you may have noticed something new. We installed updated lists of our donors on our Donor Recognition Wall located inside the main entrance of Quinte Health Care Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (QHC PECMH).

 

Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) has a donor wall, like most (if not all) hospitals and universities around the country, to recognize and celebrate philanthropic giving.


Each donor listed on our recognition wall (and those who choose to remain anonymous) has invested in the delivery of healthcare services in Prince Edward County.

 

PECMHF revealed 205 new or updated commemorations. We are so proud to recognize the many individuals, corporations and community organizations that have been supporting our ongoing fundraising efforts that help to purchase critically needed medical equipment at Quinte Health Care Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (QHC PECMH) and who get us closer to our dream of a new hospital in Prince Edward County.

 

The donor wall’s design pays homage to the geographic beauty of Prince Edward County and is a lasting way to say thank you to all donors who have given a total of $5,000 or more to PECMHF. Donors who have cumulatively given between $1,000 and $4,999 are recognized on the television screen built into the wall. PECMHF has access to electronic donor records dating back to 1999. While the donor wall and screen recognize and thank those who have reached $1,000 or more in cumulative giving, PECMHF is indebted to all of our donors.


Listings may be in the names of individuals, families, service organizations, or companies. Listings may also be made in honour of an individual. The donor wall is a lasting legacy and expression of loyalty toward our County hospital, its staff and volunteers.

 

In addition to donor names being listed on the television screen, we are also able to profile our supporters, events and gift announcements. We are always looking for new grateful patient photos and stories. These stories help motivate and inspire others to give. If you are a donor or a grateful patient and wish to provide a testimonial about why you give, please reach out to us. We would love the opportunity to help share your story.


While we are on the topic of donor recognition walls, PECMHF is looking for a company or individual to help design our donor recognition display and room naming signage that will appear in the new hospital. We look forward to receiving proposals that will amaze and inspire our stakeholders as well as nurture and celebrate our philanthropic community. This is another sign our new hospital continues to move forward.

 

If you are a donor to PECMHF and are interested in finding out at which level you are currently recognized, or if you would like a copy of the Request for Proposal, contact me at 613-476-1008 ext. 4425 or bboyce@qhc.on.ca.


I have one more piece of news to share with you.

 

PECMHF is proud to unveil a refreshed design of www.pecmhf.ca. Our website was redesigned with the goal of making information about our giving programs easier to find. We have also added an expanded news gallery and links to our social media pages.


Our hope is this website becomes a convenient way for our donors, residents, and visitors to learn about the impact of their giving and the role the hospital and PECMHF play in the community. We are inviting you to be among the first to view it.


The new website wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing partner who helped us bring this complex project to life. To the team of Barbara and Daniel Vaughan at Vaughan Group – thank you for understanding our vision and for bringing it to life!

“Last year (2023), we had the best crop yields since moving to The County in 2004. Barbara and I wanted to share our gratitude over such a great harvest and couldn’t think of a better way to do so than to donate to a cause benefitting all…building a new hospital,” said Hunter.
