AUXILIARY
Welcome to a joint update from Winchester District Memorial Hospital , Dundas Manor Long-Term Care Home, the WDMH Auxiliary, and the WDMH Foundation . It’s our annual opportunity to share some of the highlights from the past year and to thank our local communities for your incredible support. We also want to thank our healthcare teams for their commitment to the very best care. Caring Connections Grateful for Our Local Communities
The entire team was amazing and caring. … The hospital is so clean. … I felt safe, heard and respected. Our health care is in good hands. … WDMH is my health care place of choice.
Every day, we hear from patients and we are so grateful for your feedback and support of our team. Your words of encouragement inspire the 900 staff, physicians, midwives, volunteers and students at WDMH to continue to provide the compassionate, excellent care that our local hospital is known for. Thank you! This past year, the WDMH team cared for more than 80,000 patients. New services, including Pulmonary Function Testing and Rheumatology Clinics, as well as a Lung Screening Program, were launched. Wait times were reduced in the Emergency Department and we introduced PocketHealth to support our Diagnostic Imaging patients. Beyond WDMH, we continue to work with local health partners to advance the Great River Ontario Health Team. Our research program is a leader in international clinical trials. And finally, WDMH is an employer of choice and a place where students choose to come to learn – in part because of our focus on team education and team spirit.
Thank you for being an active partner in this care – and for your support of health care close to home!
A Warm and Welcome Smile
AUXILIARY
A s pandemic restrictions have lifted, so have the masks. We are so grateful to be able to see the smiling faces of our volunteers as they greet patients and families and support them throughout the hospital. They are an essential part of our care team. The WDMH Auxiliary also raises thousands of dollars each year for hospital equipment and presents bursaries to high school students. In fact, the Auxiliary recently provided $30,000 to purchase five syringe pumps for patient care. And two high school graduates were chosen to receive $750 each for their ongoing studies. We are also grateful to the community volunteers who sit on the Patient and Family Engagement Committee, various hospital committees, and the WDMH Board of Directors. Thank you for your commitment to health care close to home.
