Royal Canadian Legion supports x-ray campaign

As the need for priority medical equipment never stops, Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) is grateful for the continued support from the Royal Canadian Legion in Wellington.


Ken MacMillan on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 Poppy Fund Committee presented members of the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) with a gift of $2,000 on Thursday, March 2, 2023. The funds were raised through the 2022 poppy fund campaign.


The hospital foundation is charged with raising over $1 million for equipment this year. Of that, $595,000 has been designated for the purchase of a new x-ray machine.

 

Last year, 8,800 x-ray images were taken at PECMH. The current machine is 14-years-old and image quality is diminishing. Because priority equipment purchases are not government funded, Branch 160 has stepped forward to help ensure x-ray services remain close by, in Prince Edward County, should veterans need them now or in the future.

 

The Legion’s $2,000 gift will help bring this vital piece of diagnostic imaging equipment to our County hospital.

The Rotary Club of Picton has once again demonstrated its long-standing dedication to strengthening local healthcare by presenting a $5,000 donation to the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) Foundation in support of the Back the Build campaign.  The contribution represents funds raised through several Rotary-led community initiatives, including their annual Rotary Golf Tournament , the Waterfalls Tour , Rotary Cash Calendars and the Lilac Ride . These events continue to play a significant role in ensuring the Foundation meets our $30M Back the Build campaign goal for the new PECMH. For more than 23 years, the Rotary Club of Picton has been a steadfast partner in improving healthcare in PEC—contributing close to $225,000 to date. This includes a generous $100,000 pledge toward Back the Build campaign that was fulfilled in 2023. These funds help to ensure the new hospital is equipped with the modern tools and technology needed to serve patients today and for generations to come. “The Rotary Club of Picton has a deep and enduring commitment to community service, and supporting our hospital is a natural extension of that mission,” said J.J. Johnston, Rotary Club of Picton President. “We are proud to continue contributing to a project that will have a lasting impact on everyone in Prince Edward County.” “We are grateful for Rotary’s leadership, generosity, and community spirit,” said Shannon Coull, Executive Director, PECMH Foundation. “Their ongoing support of this campaign helps ensure our new hospital will provide the high-quality care our community deserves. Rotary truly embodies what it means to give back to the County.” The PECMH Foundation extends its sincere thanks to the Rotary Club of Picton for their support of local healthcare and their thoughtful contribution toward building and equipping the new hospital.
