About the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital Foundation

Thanks to the generosity of the community and its precious volunteers, the Hawkesbury and District General Hospital (HGH) Foundation continually contributes to the improvement of patient care and to the addition of new services at HGH.

For more than 30 years, the HGH Foundation has supported the hospital financially by organizing annual fundraising campaigns and collecting donations. This has supported new programs and continued to help expand services at HGH.

Your support towards the HGH Foundation will help ensure that new medical equipment is available to meet the healthcare needs of our growing region and make the most of the recent redevelopment and expansion at HGH.

Mission

The HGH Foundation’s mission is to raise funds in order to improve the care and services offered to the community by HGH.

Achievements

- From 1990 to 2006, the Foundation purchased more than $2.5 million worth of medical equipment for the hospital.

- From 2006 and throughout the Heart & Soul campaign, the Foundation raised $7 million for the hospital’s major redevelopment project, a critical element of the hospital being able to move forward with its expansion plan.

- From 2015 to 2019, the Foundation raised $4 million through its Access 2018 campaign, which has provided the hospital with two pieces of state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment – a new CT scanner and HGH’s first-ever magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine.

There's No Place Like Home

The HGH Foundation’s current campaign, There’s No Place Like Home, will support new programs and continue to help expand services at HGH. It will enable access to more specialty care, closer to home. Its focus will be on enhancing services in orthopedic surgery, urology, ophthalmology, endoscopy, and advanced mammography, which reflects the most pressing and increasing needs of our local population.
