The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation has announced a donation of $5,567 from the Innisfil Community Foundation in support of the ‘Because of You, We Can’ campaign.
The donation will help with the purchase of an epidural pain pump for the Obstetrics Department at Stevenson Memorial Hospital.
The contribution will enhance maternal care and improve the birthing experience for expectant mothers in the community.
With residential developments increasing in Stevenson’s catchment area, including Innisfil, the demand for modernized equipment in the birthing unit continues to grow. The Innisfil Community Foundation recognizes this urgent need and is committed to ensuring that high-quality healthcare remains accessible to families in the region. Their donation directly supports the hospital’s ability to continue providing safe and effective pain management for labouring mothers, contributing to a higher standard of care.
“As our region continues to grow and attract young families, updating and expanding equipment across all units, including the birthing unit, is a key priority to ensure we provide the best care for our community,” said Frank Cerisano, CEO of Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful for the support of the Innisfil Community Foundation in helping us provide essential healthcare services to families in our community.”
The Innisfil Community Foundation is dedicated to trust-based philanthropy. It fosters lasting relationships with the non-profits it supports to create a sustainable impact.”As Innisfil grows, the Innisfil Community Foundation recognizes the need for accessible local healthcare,” said Sandra Rizzardo, chair of the Foundation’s Board. “By replacing critical equipment like the epidural pump, Stevenson Memorial Hospital will continue offering compassionate, high-quality care during childbirth. Supporting the hospital aligns with our vision to improve community well-being and invest in the future of Innisfil families.”
