Most annual general meetings (AGA) in- clude reports, presentations and financial spreadsheets fromBoard chairs, CEOs, and auditors. At theWinchester District Memo- rial Hospital (WDMH) AGM, held on June 28, attendees also heard from staff, physi- cians, volunteers, and patients through a new video that premiered that evening. The video introducesWDMH’s newCom- mitment Statements, centering on the theme of Compassionate Excellence. “This past year, we took some time to reflect on what that really means. Staff, physicians, volun- teers, our Board, the Patient and Family Engagement Committee, and the commu- nity at large were all part of the discussion,” noted StephenMcClellan, Board chair, in his written report. “Together, we came up with three short statements that put into words howwe care for our patients and each other.” The 2015 Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry International Plowing Match (IPM) did much more than just showcase the local farming community. It also supported local charities including theWinchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) Foundation. At a recent volunteer appreciation event in Finch, IPM Chairman Jim Brownell announced that theWDMH Foundationwas the beneficiary of a $100,000 gift from the IPMLegacy Fund.The Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation and the Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation received the same amount. Other service and not- for-profit groups also received donations. WDMH Foundation Board Member Cindy Peters accepted the donation and congratulated the IPMorganizing committee

Throughout the evening, accomplish- ments from the past year were also high- lighted. These include new staff and physi- cians, expanded programs, the work of the Patient and Family Engagement Committee and a balanced budget for the eighth con- secutive year. There were also a few new faces at the podiumwith three leaders presenting their first annual reports: Chief of StaffDr. Darren Tse, WDMHAuxiliary President Peter Sorby, andWDMH Foundation Chair TomDawson. Stephen McClellan, who is completing his term as Board chair, summarized his report by noting: “We are one team and we want to thank each staffmember, physician, volunteer and Board member at WDMH. Together, we will make every patient experi- ence the best it can be.” for hosting such a wonderful event. “I think Finch stole the title from Disney as the happiest place on earth for those few days,” Peters said. “Thank you so much for choosing our three hospitals to receive this generous gift.” He noted that the funds will be used to support WDMH’s highest priority needs. “Please know that our patients will benefit greatly from your generosity,” expressed the boardmember. “In every hospital, gold standard medical equipment is equally as important as the healthcare professionals who use it. The best equipment, combined with our amazing health care team, results in compassionate, excellent health care, close to home.”
