On September 25 1997 to assure funds raised locally would be used locally the Foundation was incorporated as an independent entity governed by a Board of Directors of 9 people representing all areas of the Peninsula

The Provincial Ministry of Health does not provide all the funding required by todays hospitals for uptodate technology and facilities The funds must therefore come from the people who use the services
