Equipment saves lives.

YOU make it possible.

If a child arrives in our Emergency Department and they can’t breathe, we need to be prepared.

If a father comes in with chest pains, we must have the right equipment, to diagnose and care for him, when every

second counts.

And if you or a loved come to Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) in need of care, it is critical that we have the

latest technology to find the answers you need.

Having the right equipment isn’t just nice to have, it’s a MUST have. Rapid advancements in medical technologies
mean better tools are available today that enable doctors to make much better diagnoses and perform precise, less

invasive procedures that significantly improve patient outcomes.

But given that North Simcoe’s population has soared over the past five years, our hospital is beyond challenged to

keep up with the rapidly growing needs of our region. And we urgently need your help to ensure that we can provide
exceptional care, right here at home.

Right now, GBGH is caring for more patients than ever, and they are sicker, with more complex health care needs, than

ever before. Our staff is doing everything they can, but the rapid population growth in our area has resulted in longer
wait times for patients and our staff often has to borrow and share equipment between departments to meet the most
urgent needs.
