A long-time dream becomes reality.  The Foundation’s sole objective is to raise funds to support Huntsville Hospital. Being seen by as many people as possible and being connected to the hospital as closely as possible are two important contributors to what we do. To improve that visibility and connection, we organized local participants and created a new space for our fund-raising work. The result will enable us to generate more funds for your hospital.  The new building was designed to fit with the Foundation’s Garden of Honour and the garden will be restored to it’s beauty with improved accessibility.  Our front entrance and building landscape will be done in short order.  Temporary entrance to our office is in the rear of the building.  Thank you to everyone for your support and patience as we transition to our new home.  We will continue to provide parking passes to those when they make a donation.  We hope to see you soon.      

A hospitable story about a hospital and local healthcare.  Luke Nixon-Janssen has been in the hospitality business across Canada for years. Now he plies his craft at Deerhurst Resort and while working there was the big draw for he and wife Julie (and little baby Jacob), it was access to local healthcare that sealed the deal.  That’s because Luke lives with a unique challenge.“I was diagnosed with a brain aneurism when I was 32,” says Luke. “It can be fatal if not managed. I need regular access to CT scans—I need to know the care here is as good as anything I’ll find in a big city.”Luke learned the truth of that after he had a gall bladder attack.  “I had to drive myself to the hospital—that only took a few minutes. That’s easy access. I had the surgery within three weeks. That’s fast. And when there was a complication, my surgeon was at my side at 9:30 at night. That’s amazing. Health care is a partnership here—between the patient and outstanding healthcare professionals.”  Luke’s story clearly, and with some poignancy, summarizes the importance of ensuring our hospital professionals have the right technology and tools to provide great care.
