As part of the annual budget deliberations this year, the Town of Midland has approved a gift of $20,000 to the Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation. The donation to the Foundation’s Impact Fund will help to address some of the most urgent priorities, including an MRI machine, modern hospital beds, new surgical technology and laboratory equipment.
The Town of Midland has a long history of investment at GBGH, with financial support of more than $520,000 over the past 25 years.
“The Town is pleased to support the Georgian Bay General Hospital Foundation through this grant,” said Mayor Bill Gordon. “We are happy to assist our hospital in their continued investment of capital equipment, which will strengthen the high standard of care that patients in and around North Simcoe receive.”
Access to modern medical equipment can make a world of difference for patients and their families. New surgical technology will expand the types of surgeries available for residents close to home. Modern hospital beds are essential for patient comfort and can lead to improved outcomes. Installing an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine will reduce wait times for thousands of patients across the region.
“We are deeply grateful to the Town of Midland for this impactful $20,000 donation,” expresses Nicole Kraftscik, CEO, GBGH Foundation. “This investment ensures that the hospital is equipped with the tools and technology to directly enhance patient care. And, it helps our community remain vibrant and resilient, attracting businesses and families who seek a robust healthcare infrastructure.”
