This week marks National Volunteer Week and the Peterborough Regional Health Centre Foundation team is joining the rest of Canada in honouring the incredible contributions of the countless volunteers who make a difference for our Foundation, hospital and the region we serve.
This year’s theme, “Volunteers Make Waves,” reflects the powerful, far-reaching impact of volunteerism. Just like a wave, PRHC Foundation and hospital volunteer efforts create movement, build momentum, and have a ripple effect of care and compassion for patients and their loved ones from across our region, for generations to come.
We want to take this special week to express our gratitude for the volunteers who support our mission. They give their time, energy, enthusiasm and donations to help reimagine patient care at PRHC. From our Foundation Board of Directors and committees to the dedicated people who work in The PRHC Foundation Gift Shop, from our office volunteer and Allied Professional Advisory Council to our Campaign Council and campaign ambassadors, from the organizers of community events and personal fundraising challenges to their participants and supporters; your efforts are helping transform patient care at PRHC. The work we do wouldn’t be possible without you.
“Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and your unwavering commitment to the Foundation, PRHC and your community,” says PRHC Foundation President & CEO, Lesley Heighway. “Your support makes it possible to fund lifesaving equipment and fuel innovation, to bring new services to our region, and recruit and retain the best healthcare experts. You are helping make the $60 million Campaign for PRHC an ongoing success, so far raising over $52.9 million—that’s 88% per cent of the total goal. Thank you!”
From all of us at the PRHC Foundation and on behalf of patients and their families, thank YOU—together we are creating waves of change, together we are reimagining healthcare in our region.
We dough-n’t know about you, but we’ve been crumbling with excitement waiting for this sweet week! From Monday, April 28 to Sunday, May 4, Smile Cookie returns to the Peterborough Regional Health Centre cafeteria’s Compass Canada Tim Hortons location.
These aren’t just any cookies—they’re cookies with a cause! 100% of the proceeds from Smile Cookie sales at the PRHC location will be donated to the PRHC Foundation, helping fund the equipment and technology that support life-changing care at our regional hospital every day.
Thank you to Compass Canada Manager Warren and his team who make this fundraiser a success every year. And of course, a massive thank you to all the cookie lovers and supporters who keep the smiles going strong!
We are so grateful for the outstanding care and compassion my husband has received over the past year at PRHC and the cancer care clinic. The doctors and staff are kind, caring and amazing.
Thank you for the doctors, nurses and all the staff who took great care of me when I had my cancer operation and my chemotherapy treatments. You were all so nice and caring. You took such good care of me. I am so thankful.
I want to thank you all for the care you gave my husband David and our family. He passed away sadly, the care you gave him will always be in our hearts. Dr. M was incredible and Jennifer, one of the many of his nurses on the cancer ward, was always making him smile no matter what. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your work is hard, you are greatly appreciated. Hugs forever. Merry Christmas.
Our family has used PRHC many times over the years. The most impactful was in 2019 when my dad was suffering from congestive heart failure. After a long battle he passed away in D2. The PRHC staff still stands out. They took good care of all of us. Thank you!
