Carleton Place - Match My Gift 2024!

Important Message from the Chief of the Emergency Department at the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital  

 

As Chief of the Emergency Department and a local physician, I see every day how much your generosity means to your hospital and our community. When patients come to us in need, they trust that we have the tools and equipment to care for them.
 
Did you know that much of the medical equipment we rely on everyday is not funded by the government or other funding sources? Also, that the Ministry of Health does not fully fund new construction or renovation at the hospital? Instead, we rely on YOU to stand with your community to provide the financial support each year. And we have exciting news for you..

 

When you donate by December 31, 2024, your gift will be matched

DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR up to $75,000.00

generously donated by the family of a grateful patient!

This holiday season, we need you to help us meet these critical needs. The love and generosity from people like you are what keep us going. Together, we can ensure that our hospital remains a place of comfort, care, and compassion for generations to come.

 

Each year, our hospital must raise upwards of HALF A MILLION DOLLARS to buy much needed patient care equipment and to replace aging machines. This is why I am reaching out to you today to ask for your help to ensure we have access to these essential tools  we simply cannot deliver exceptional care to you without them. 

 

That is why your financial support is so important. Every donation - big or small- helps ensure that my colleagues and I can continue to provide you the best care possible, right here in our community. We want to keep healthcare close to home, so families don’t have to travel far in an emergency. Your donations make sure we have the life-saving equipment needed to care for you, your family, friends, and neighbours.

 

I urge you to give the gift of healthcare this holiday season. It is truly incredible what we can accomplish when we join forces and work together. The new Thomas Cavanagh Emergency Department serves as a shining example of a community coming together to support healthcare in their area. Let's join forces again to make a difference. Together, we can all save lives! 

 

 Your gift will be DOUBLED when you donate by midnight December 31, 2024!

 

 

 

Rest assured, donations postmarked on or before December 31, 2024, but received after January 1, 2025, due to mail delays, will still qualify for a 2024 tax receipt!

 

With Gratitude, 


 

Dr. Robert Suttie 

Chief of Emergency Department/Local Physician  

 

P.S. Your donation stays right here in your community, helping us provide the care we all depend on when we need it most. Thank you for investing in your health and keeping healthcare close to home.

 

P.P.S. Please do not delay and respond to the wonderful matching gift offer before the New Year when it expires!

 

P.P.P.S. Having a hard time shopping for the 'hard to buy for person'? Consider giving the gift of health and give a gift in their name to the hospital this year.
