Boaters for Best Care
Boaters in the Georgian Bay area rely on GBGH to provide the best care possible when needed. Like all hospitals in Ontario, GBGH relies on members of the community to provide the funds for equipment necessary for your best care. The government does not fund hospital equipment needs or capital costs.
The Emergency Department at GBGH is in the midst of a three-phase expansion and revitalization project. Already, community donors have generously gifted over $4.2 million through the Foundation for the completion of Phase 1.
Together, the community is raising a total of $6.5 million to complete the project and ensure that the Emergency Department can provide area residents, cottagers and boaters with the best care for many years to come.
WILL YOU HELP?
With the completion of phase 1, your new Emergency Department is now a leading-edge facility, including private examination rooms, a new entrance, innovative registration kiosks and a state-of-the-art trauma room. Phases 2 & 3 will add a four-bay sheltered ambulance garage to protect patients from the elements and retrofit and redevelop the old Emergency area.
The final element required is the CT scanner. Staff rely on a CT Scanner to quickly identify and diagnose injuries that require immediate treatment. It is also the primary tool used to diagnose patients with chest pain, head trauma, injuries to hands, feet and uncontrolled bleeding.
The CT Scanner at Georgian Bay General Hospital is aging and without a CT Scanner and the Emergency Department cannot function effectively, and lives will be at risk.
The Boaters for Best Care campaign plans to raise $1 Million over 3 years to support your Emergency Department revitalization and the new CT Scanner.
