Investing in a Stronger South Shore 💙

For the Balcome family and the team at BMI Limited, giving back means investing in the community they call home.

That’s why they made an incredible $100,000 gift to the Brighter Days Campaign, believing that strong healthcare is the foundation of a strong, vibrant community.

“You’ll never regret investing in your community. It’s one of the best investments you can make.”— Martin Balcome, President & CEO, BMI Ltd.

We are incredibly grateful to BMI Limited for helping build a healthier, stronger South Shore for generations to come.

Please join us in celebrating our newest Champion of Care, Heidi Levy, RN in the Emergency Department at South Shore Regional Hospital!🌟

A donation was made to the South Shore Health Foundation in honour of the tremendous care and attentiveness Heidi provided to a patient while working in the busy Emergency Department.

In an environment where every moment matters, Heidi made sure her patient felt seen, supported, and cared for. Her compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail are a wonderful reminder that even during the busiest shifts, a little extra care can make a lasting difference.

Thank you, Heidi, for the heart and dedication you bring to your patients and for all you do for our South Shore community. ❤️

✨ South Shore Bursary Recipient Spotlight: Jaqueline Swim

As we celebrate 20 years of the South Shore Bursary Program, we're proud to shine a spotlight on Jaqueline Swim, a bursary recipient who went on to build her career right here at South Shore Regional Hospital.

Today, Jaqueline is a Medical Laboratory Technologist, putting her skills and passion to work helping provide excellent care to patients in our community.

📍 Hometown: Bridgewater, Nova Scotia
🎓 School: Nova Scotia Community College, Ivany Campus

💙 What did receiving the bursary mean to Jaqueline?
"This financial gift supported my academic success and gave me peace of mind, knowing I had a position at SSRH to practice my profession."

🐾 Beyond the lab:
Dog sports are Jaqueline's passion, where she enjoys building the ultimate bond through teamwork. Alongside dedicated friends, she celebrates the excellence of purebred dogs.

Jaqueline's story is a wonderful example of how investing in local students can help build the future of health care right here on the South Shore. Thank you to the donors who have made the South Shore Bursary Program possible for the past 20 years—and who continue to invest in the next generation of health care professionals.

Behind every smooth-running hospital is a team of people making it all happen.💙

Please join us in celebrating our newest Champion of Care, Nicole Whynot, Porter at South Shore Regional Hospital! 🌟

Porters are the behind-the-scenes heroes of our hospital. From helping patients get safely where they need to go, to supporting staff and keeping things moving throughout the hospital, their work is an essential part of the patient experience.

Nicole was recently recognized as a Champion of Care for the kindness, care, and dedication she brings to her role. Her work may happen behind the scenes, but the difference she and her fellow porters make is felt throughout the entire hospital every day.

Thank you, Nicole, for all that you do to help our hospital run smoothly and, most importantly, for helping patients feel cared for along the way. 💙

This week, we were honoured to join our partners at Nova Scotia Health and the South Shore Hospice Palliative Care Society to celebrate the official opening of the new five-bed hospice unit at Fishermen's Memorial Hospital.

This beautiful new space represents years of vision, dedication, and collaboration to ensure compassionate end-of-life care is available close to home for families across the South Shore.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible staff, volunteers, partners, and everyone who worked tirelessly to bring this hospice unit to life. Your commitment has created a place where patients and their loved ones can receive comfort, dignity, and care when it matters most.

Congratulations to everyone who made this milestone possible. 💙

Another community-funded project is now making a difference at Fishermen's Memorial Hospital! 💙

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community and the success of the Annual Curl for a Cause (2024 & 2025), 23 new patient lifts have now been installed and are already making a difference.

These lifts help make care safer, more comfortable, and more dignified for patients while supporting the dedicated healthcare teams who use them every day. By reducing the physical demands of patient transfers, they create a safer environment for both patients and staff.

To everyone who curled, volunteered, donated, sponsored, and supported Curl for a Cause, thank you. Your generosity has helped bring this important equipment to Fishermen's Memorial Hospital, improving care for our community today and for years to come.

Together, we're making a lasting impact on healthcare, close to home. 💙
