Together, we can ensure that the latest in diagnostic imaging technology is available right here in St. Thomas, providing exceptional care and improving the lives of our friends, families and neighbours. It’s not just about technology; it’s about transforming lives and creating a healthier future for all.” While speaking at the launch, Stefan Potoczny, Chief of Diagnostic Imaging, announced a pledge of $25,000 to the Transforming Tomorrow Campaign on behalf of himself and his wife, Jacqueline. This tremendously generous donation was the first to be matched by the FDC Foundation. Mary Lou exclaims, “We were absolutely thrilled with Dr. Potoczny’s announcement.” In accordance with the FDC Foundation’s commitment, the STEGH Foundation has until December 31st, 2024, to raise this one million dollars. Asked what personally excites Mary Lou about the Transforming Tomorrow Campaign, she replies, “For me, it’s about the commitment our community has already made and continues to make -- we are at 80 percent! What is rewarding is that people truly care about this hospital. With the generosity and commitment of a board of directors, staff and campaign volunteers, we are so close to the completion of this campaign.” She proceeds to express her gratitude for the community’s support, as well as for their FDC Foundation partnership: “It is very heartwarming. I have been blessed, and I feel that our community is blessed.” Mary Lou concludes, “A huge thank you to our donors, everyone in St. Thomas and to all of Elgin County for coming together to bring this Diagnostic Imaging Department to life, and bringing this diagnostic care closer to home. We are confident that we are going to exceed our eight-million-dollar campaign goal.”
