At its recent annual general meeting, Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Foundation (CKHAF) representatives handed over $643,894 in approved funding to CKHA officials.
The funds were raised from April 1, 2023 to March 31 of this year.
“This success is a testament to the dedication and generosity of our wonderful community, and we want to thank all of the supporters and champions of our foundation who have helped us not only meet but exceed expectations through our fundraising efforts over the past year,” said Christine Mitchell, CKHAF president and CEO in a media release. “It means the world to us to be able to make such a profound investment in our hospital across so many units and programs, and we celebrate the lives impacted, the programs enhanced, and the community connections strengthened along the way.”
Funding from the 2023/24 fiscal year has been invested in equipment, facility upgrades, and program innovation across a wide range of units and programs at CKHA’s Chatham and Wallaceburg sites, including dialysis, mental health and addictions, operating room, women and children’s, rehabilitation, urology, diagnostic imaging, the oncology/cancer clinic, and more.
During the June AGM, the foundation also welcomed three new members to the board, Kaleena Cryderman, Mary Rule, and Satinder Singh Chopra.
