Pledge completed - The Mount Forest Lions Club has completed its pledge of $25,000 to the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation (LMHF) in support of the North Wellington Health Care - Louise Marshall Hospital Redevelopment project. Combined with a 2017 pledge of $75,000, the club has now donated $100,000 towards the hospital expansion.
LMHF president Rick Sinnamon accepted the final cheque for $12,500 at the club’s meeting on Feb. 6 and said that amount of money from one club “is no small feat.”
"Construction at the hospital began last September and “redevelopment work is progressing well for the ... emergency and ambulatory care departments expansion,” said Stephen Street, president and CEO of North Wellington Health Care. A temporary emergency department will be opened at the end of the month in order to continue work on the new space, he said.
