A giant sign will soon appear near Dundas Manor officially announcing the future site of our new home. We are so excited! While the pandemic has slowed down some of our planning, it hasn’t dampened our enthusiasm. In fact, we’ve improved the design based on what we’ve learned, particularly related to infection control. The new Dundas Manor will include larger resident rooms, accessible spaces, and dining and gathering areas that bring people together. Every resident will have more privacy and their own window and there will be air conditioning throughout the building. Plus, we will welcome 30 more residents. Construction is expected to begin next year.
Every day, the WDMH Foundation team has the pleasure of speaking with donors who are grateful for the care they have received at WDMH. It’s the best part of the job. Our donors’ gifts are used wisely, including supporting cancer care services, purchasing medical equipment, and educating staff – making an incredible impact throughout the hospital. This past year, because of our donors, we were able to purchase 106 new pieces of equipment. Everything from a $3,200 training mannequin for ongoing staff education to state-of-the-art colon and gastroscopes for the operating room, valued at $363,630. The total cost of the 106 pieces: $1,132,927! The WDMH Foundation Team is busy planning as well. We are honoured to be working with staff, residents, and families as they plan for the brand-new Dundas Manor. While we can’t share exactly what is going on behind the scenes, please stay tuned for some exciting announcements in a few months. Finally, we want to thank the community volunteers who support our work, including the WDMH Foundation Board of Directors for their commitment of time and expertise. A special shout-out to Peter Krajcovic who has completed his term as Chair. His sage advice is most appreciated. Thank you to our new Board Chair Chris Chevalier. We can’t thank our donors enough for everything you do to support health care close to home. It is a privilege to connect with you every day!
