Thank you to everyone who attended our Impact Market on June 25, 2025!  Our guests had the opportunity to experience the impact of their support first-hand: seeing the new patient simulator in action, testing out new surgical tools, learning about the new MRI and trying out a new recumbent stepper. Watch the video above to see what it’s all about!



We are excited to share that your generous donations to the GBGH Foundation’s Impact Fund have just made a BIG impact for patients at Georgian Bay General Hospital.

Last week, the Foundation was able to fund 20 new patient beds, which will provide a comfortable and safe place for patients to rest and recover, during one of the most challenging times in our hospital’s history.

On February 24, 2025, Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) experienced the highest occupancy in its history (167%), with 155 patients admitted to the 113 beds that the hospital has available.

Although the hospital does have some extra beds on standby, there simply weren’t enough for everyone during this time of unprecedented need in our community. The addition of these 20 new beds means patients will have a standard size, comfortable and safe place to rest even while waiting for admission to a conventional patient room.

This is why we started the Impact Fund.

To respond when our hospital and our patients need us most.
You have purchased these beds for our patients, and we are so grateful for your investment. You have entrusted us with your gifts, and it is an honour to share with you the impact that you have made today.

Thank you for your gift to the Impact Fund.

Sincerely,
Nicole Kraftscik
