The Nottawasaga Foundation presented their sixth $100,000 installment of a $1 million pledge to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation on Thursday, September 8.

To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2017, the Nottawasaga Foundation and the Biffis family pledged $1 million over 10 years to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation’s $43 million “Because of you, we can” campaign.

The pledge supports the hospital’s redevelopment project as well as equipment and technology needs.

A portion of the funds presented were raised through the Nottawasaga Foundation’s charity golf tournament during the summer with funds raised through corporate sponsorships and individual donations.

“Our South Simcoe community is fortunate to have healthcare close to home, but as we grow, our hospital needs to grow and update its facilities and equipment to keep up with the demand,” said Sylvia Biffis, Nottawasaga Foundation and Capital Campaign Chair. “Now, more than ever, we need to come together to show our support and commitment to achieve our $43 million goal to Transform Stevenson.”

A cheque was presented to the Hospital Foundation at the Hospital by the Biffis family.

“We are grateful to have the support of the Nottawasaga Foundation and the Biffis Family” said Mary Thomas, CEO, SMHF. “As community leaders, they understand the urgency to redevelop our local hospital and have committed to help us make this a reality. Thanks to their support, we are a step closer to a revitalized hospital.”

Making a meaningful gift towards this goal will ensure that the community and surrounding area will have an expanded, modernized health care facility that meets the needs of residents.
