About
Us
The
primary purpose of the Foundation of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA)
is to enhance the quality of healthcare available to the
citizens of Chatham-Kent by raising funds and providing other
resources to support CKHA. It accomplishes
this through annual campaigns, capital and endowment campaigns,
memorial giving, special events and planned giving. The Foundation
of CKHA is governed by a Board which
consists of 12 volunteer directors.
Since it’s inception in 1998, The Foundation of CKHA has lead activities formerly carried out by
the Foundation of Public General Hospital, St. Joseph’s
Hospital and Sydenham District Hospital. The generous support
of these three Foundations was instrumental in helping the
Foundation achieve the goal in its first capital campaign,
“Your Health, Your Future” which successfully
raised $20 million towards the renovation and construction
directed by the Health Services Restructuring Committee.
The
Foundation of CKHA has since successfully
raised $1.2 million towards “The Future’s
In Sight” Ophthalmology campaign - where $700,000
was raised to create a centre of excellence for vision care. The Foundation has also raised $2.7 million towards the Every Life Counts, Chatham-Kent Physician Recruitment Fundraising Campaign to help retain and recruit physicians to Chatham-Kent. Recently, through an outpouring of community support, the Foundation of CKHA successfully completed Making the Right Investment - MRI Campaign, raising over $3.5 million.
Through capital fundraising initiatives like “Your
Health, Your Future”, “The Future’s
in Sight”, “Every Life
Counts" and the, Making the Right Investment - MRI Campaign, and ongoing capital campaign achievements, you and your family
have the ability to access leading edge healthcare delivered
within local modern facilities by highly trained professionals.
The success of the Foundation depends
on your generous support. With your contributions and participation,
we can all work, Together Today for a Healthier
Tomorrow.
