$9,878,136 Goal Reached for CGMHF An exciting announcement by Walter Borthwick, Chair of the Collingwood General & Marine Hospital Foundation that the campaign had successfully raised $9,878,136 for vital technology not funded by the government. “Our community has given so very generously to this campaign,” Borthwick said. “We worked with the Hospital to firm up the purchase prices of the remaining pieces of equipment. We are confident that all the equipment and technology we set out to purchase can be acquired with the funds raised.” The funds raised to date by the New Age of Care are sufficient to accomplish all that we set out to do,” says Borthwick. “Because the Hospital leadership has done such a superb job of negotiating the purchase contracts, we know that we can meet all of the campaign goals with the $9.8 million raised to date. Our small community has accomplished an amazing feat. Our Hospital has state of the art diagnostic equipment and we are implementing leading edge technology with the Electronic Medical Record. It is therefore time to acknowledge and celebrate the generous support of our donors that have helped us achieve our vision for a New Age of Care. We offer a huge thank you to every single person, business and community group that helped us reach our goal.”
