A strong community needs great health care close to home. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the Foundation supports the Health Centre’s remarkable physicians and staff as they take care of our community. Donations support facility renovations to our patient care areas. For example, support from donors helped build a new wing that opened in 2012. Donors also help purchase essential medical equipment, like a new endo-bronchial ultrasound that pinpoints lung cancer, and funds training for our dedicated health care professionals. Current priorities include renovating our patient spaces like lounges and waiting areas to make the more comfortable for patients and families; building a new Dialysis Centre; and building and equipping two new Interventional Suites in our Diagnostic Imaging department.

Founded in 1993, the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore resulted from a merger of the South Shore Regional Hospital Foundation and the Fishermen's Memorial Hospital Society. According to it's by-laws, the Foundation's purpose, is to "raise money in an orderly, continuing, and coordinated way for the South Shore Regional Hospital and Fishermen's Memorial Hospital." The Foundation responds to the needs of the hospital, but is accountable to the donors and the community, whose gifts make its work possible. Many gifts are designated to a specific program or service. Assuring that the wishes of the donor are carried out, is a responsibility the Foundation takes very seriously.
