Meet Our Donors
Our Strength Comes from Building Partnerships
The foundation’s goal is to build partnerships across The County and beyond with County residents, businesses and industry, service organizations, social clubs, faith-based groups, youth, visitors and others who will work with us to meet the needs of our fundraising endeavours. Supporting and investing in our hospital in this central role cannot be managed alone; it can only succeed through the strength of coming together as community partners.
In one way or another, donors touch, and have an impact on, every person using, working in or visiting our hospital. Donors are essential to the care patients receive.
A Brother’s Life and Legacy Remembered
Cancer takes the lives of many people every day, and in May of 2019, lung cancer took Mark Campbell at the age of 59.
Mark will not get to see Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital rebuilt, but he was a big advocate for it. Because of this, his family and friends continue to help the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation Back the Build.

The Halsall Family
The desire to inspire others and help ensure access to health care remains close to home is what motivated a $150,000 gift from the Halsall family of Waupoos. The gift will help build and equip the new Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) with environmental sustainability enhancements.
The Hunter Family Story
Robert (Bob) Hunter and his wife Barbara, who own and operate PEC Farms in Wellington, were looking for a way to give back to their community. They decided the best way to do that was to invest in the future of Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.
