Congratulations to Sarah, our newest Healthcare Hero!

Sarah is a Ward Clerk at Brightshores Wiarton Hospital and is being recognized for her kindness, compassion, and professionalism.

Her nominator, Grateful Patient Walter, shared these heartfelt words:

“Sarah, your kindness and compassion at the front desk meant so much to our family during Sharon’s final days. Your friendly smile, warmth, and caring nature helped make a very difficult time a little easier for my daughter and me. We will always appreciate the kindness you showed us.”

Thank you, Sarah, for the compassion and kindness you show to patients and their families. Your warmth and caring nature make a meaningful difference, especially during life’s most difficult moments. We are so grateful to have you on our Brightshores team!

THAT BEEP?
It’s one of the most familiar sounds in a hospital.
A monitor keeping watch. Measuring. Alerting. Giving your healthcare team information they need to care for the person in front of them.
What you may not know is that equipment like this is often made possible through donations.
Someone you know may have helped put it there.
Someone who decided that when you, your family or your neighbour needed care, the right equipment should be ready at Health System
Look around. Your community is everywhere.

THAT CHAIR?
Not everything donors help provide has a screen, makes a sound or saves a life.
Sometimes it’s simply a chair.
A place to sit beside someone you love. A comfortable spot while you wait. One small thing that makes a difficult day a little easier.
When people give to Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation, they help create the whole experience of care, including the things we sometimes take for granted.
That chair?
Your neighbour may have helped put it there.
Look around. Your community is everywhere.

Featured: Inter‐generational Wealth Transfers in Rural Canada: Dr. Ryan Gibson

Rural areas are places of wealth, however, this wealth is increasingly mobile. Without careful consideration, much of it could leave rural areas as younger generations move to urban centres. Intergenerational transfers of wealth could play a crucial role in supporting rural communities. Evidence will show that time is of the essence! This presentation will explore how philanthropy could play a huge role in sustaining rural communities and how professional advisors could be part of the solution.

Dr. Gibson is Libro Professor in Regional Economic Development at the University of Guelph. He is interested in the issues of rural development, philanthropy, immigration, rural policy, and community collaboration.

THAT ANSWER?
When you’re waiting for test results, an answer can mean everything.
Behind that answer is a lab filled with equipment that helps our healthcare team test, diagnose and make decisions about your care.
And behind that equipment?
Your community.
Donors to Bruce Peninsula Hospitals Foundation help make sure our hospitals have the tools they need to provide care close to home.
That answer might be more connected to your neighbours, friends and community than you ever realized.
