From the ED
The leaves are almost off the trees, and there is a chill in the air. Halloween is over, Remembrance Day is approaching, and four days after that, we celebrate National Philanthropy Day.
For me, National Philanthropy Day provides a formal opportunity to reflect on the difference donors like you make to the hundreds of patients who come through the doors of Guelph General Hospital each and every day. Your contributions are part of our past success, and part of our future success.
Please accept my warm appreciation for the healthy investment you make to our Hospital.
Regards,
