LMH Foundation once again hosted
their annual Spring Gala, ‘Meet Me in Paris’ on Saturday, June 2, 2018. Over
265 guests attended who were entertained by the ‘Toronto All-Star Big Band’. Hors d’oeuvres and a gourmet dinner
was served by Alex Petter. This year's spring gala was a huge success with net proceeds of $350,000! The Foundation enjoys ‘tremendous
community involvement’ said Foundation chairperson Ron Coghlin.
Our 2018 Gala proceeds will be focused on 3 important areas
of LMH- Obstetrics, Cardiac Care, and Operating Rooms.
The Obstetrics area of LMH will receive a
complete makeover of this department which will include- a new nurse call
system, 2 support person recliners, new OB equipment and cabinets, new security
system, 3 new gynecology stretchers and a new phototherapy light- total
approximately $70,000.
The refurbishments to our Cardiac Care Department will
include- new cardiac monitors, a cardiac stretcher, and a new ECG Machine for a
total of $92,000.
As we move to refurbish and revitalize our Operating Rooms
we will add a second new anesthetic machine, new scopes for ear, nose &
throat, a new scope cabinet and a new cautery unit for a total of approximately
$120,000.
One has only to visit LMH briefly to realize that this is a
general hospital that cares for many different types of patients, As such, we have general equipment needs to
upgrade or replace, as well as upgrades to existing specialized equipment. Our OB, Cardiac and OR areas will be the
beneficiaries of a successful 2018 Gala fundraising.
The LMHF thanks all the generous
donations from the corporate sponsors of this event, the
monetary donations, in kind donations, auction item donations and continued
support from guests. This event wouldn’t be the success it is without
this support!
Mark your calendars for Spring Gala
2019, Saturday, June 1, 2019.
