Recently, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation’s (PECMHF) community report landed in over 11,000 mailboxes across Prince Edward County. In it, we share the stories of our philanthropic community and what donors helped make possible. The report celebrates how community support makes a difference as we look towards the future.

Our report highlights many examples of kindness and generosity. Our new hospital plans continue to move forward, and our caregivers are able to provide exceptional care to patients who required hospital services.

That strong showing of support from our donors, throughout another challenging year, inspired us to innovate in creative ways, and to respond to the urgent healthcare needs of those who needed us most - and for that we are sincerely grateful.

Donor support enhances care across the Quinte region and at our local hospital. Having access to leading edge equipment and technology plays a critical role in enabling our hospital’s Care Champions to provide exceptional care.

Thank you to the 2,040 caring supporters who made 2,858 contributions during our 2021/22 fiscal year. Individuals, families, foundations, and businesses came together to raise over $5 million for equipment needed at our County hospital and to help Back the Build for our new hospital.

PECMHF welcomed 690 new donors into our foundation family as well 36 new corporate partners.

On the clinical side, our County hospital managed almost 39,000 patient visits. Our hospital’s emergency department remained busy throughout the fiscal year, managing over 16,000 patient visits.

We are grateful to all the individuals who generously give their time to serve on our Board and our Campaign Cabinet. At our annual general meeting in June, we welcomed three new board members: Steve Geist, Wendy Reid and Doug Taylor bringing the board to 16 members. We bid farewell to Pat Evans and John Walker, and Peter Brady transitioned onto the Campaign Cabinet.

We would like to take this opportunity to also thank our hospital leaders, staff, physicians and volunteers for their dedication to our patients and community. We extend heartfelt gratitude to our communities for their steadfast support of PECMHF and all who rely on Prince Edward County’s healthcare system at this critical time – and always.



Our community can be confident that PECMHF is well positioned to continue with our mission of advancing health care for the patients of the hospital and the people of Prince Edward County. As we look to the future, we will continue to build on our successes and keep up-to-date with the evolving needs of our community.

The pandemic has challenged and in many ways strengthened our organization. We are so proud of the resiliency, the professionalism, the commitment, the creativity, the calm and the kindness towards one another that has been demonstrated by this community. You have proven we can persevere through challenging times together. Donors really do have the power to improve and even save lives.
