The STEGH Foundation: Transforming Tomorrow Campaign by Peri Hayes The St. Thomas Elgin General Public Hospital (STEGH) Foundation is excitedly immersed in their Transforming Tomorrow Campaign, proudly launched on May 29th. With a goal of raising eight million dollars to enhance and expand their Diagnostic Imaging Department, this fundraiser entails improvements toward CT scan, nuclear medicine, X-ray, and ultrasound services, in addition to the installation of STEGH’s first MRI machine. Remarkably, construction is 45% complete. As Diagnostic Imaging is a critical component of healthcare, STEGH strives to streamline the Diagnostic Imaging process for patients -- prioritizing registration as a means to amplify accessibility and result in quicker diagnosis. Mary Lou Crowley, STEGH Foundation’s CEO and President, enthuses, “This is the first ever MRI machine in Elgin County, and I know that our community is ready for it.” Mary Lou is passionate in her role, voicing, “Coming into my 11th month, it has been a real privilege to lead the foundation, board of directors, staff team and dedicated volunteers as we’ve embarked on this significant, eight-million-dollar capital campaign.” When discussing Jeff Yurek, the campaign chair, Mary Lou notes, “He demonstrates true leadership, and his passion is unparalleled. He ensures that the community is aware of this much-needed transformation of Diagnostic Imaging and has been a true champion.” At the aforementioned launch, the STEGH Foundation announced a one-million-dollar matching gift from the FDC
Foundation. “The FDC Foundation believes in the power of community,” Mary Lou explains, “And the profound impact that access to advanced healthcare can have on every individual in St. Thomas and Elgin County. They hope to inspire members of the STEGH community to give generously, knowing that their contributions will be doubled and their impact magnified.
