Volunteers raise $90,000 for Milton District Hospital

The Milton District Hospital will be able to purchase some new equipment thanks to a long history of ‘giving and caring’ by its committed volunteers.

At its recent annual general meeting, the Milton District Hospital Auxiliary (MDHA) presented the local hospital with a cheque for $90,000 that will go towards the purchase of new equipment.

“This year the Milton District Hospital Auxiliary raised funds through revenue generated from the gift shop, 50/50 draws, community donations as well as fundraising events,” says Bonna Richmond, MDHA President.

“Despite not being able to host some of our events at the hospital due to specific COVID-19 precautions, our dedicated volunteers still rose to the challenge – making this year’s donation even more special.”

Sponsors, supporters and the community have all stepped up with much-needed support for the hospital.

“We are very fortunate to have such committed volunteers,” says Janet Skupsky, Chief Operating Officer, Milton District Hospital. “Our Auxiliary has a long history of giving and caring in support of our patients, their families, physicians and staff.

“Delivering exemplary patient experiences is rewarding work that takes commitment, teamwork and compassion – these are all attributes that are demonstrated by our volunteers every day.”
