History
Since its inception in 1998 The Foundation of CKHA has led activities formerly carried out by the Foundations of Public General Hospital St Josephs Hospital and Sydenham District Hospital The generous support of these three Foundations was instrumental in helping the Foundation achieve the goal in its first capital campaign Your Health Your Future which successfully raised 20 million towards the renovation and construction directed by the Health Services Restructuring Committee
The Foundation of CKHA has since successfully raised 12 million towards The Futures In Sight Ophthalmology campaign where 700000 was raised to create a centre of excellence for vision care The Foundation has also raised 27 million towards the Every Life Counts ChathamKent Physician Recruitment Fundraising Campaign to help retain and recruit physicians to ChathamKent Recently through an outpouring of community support the Foundation of CKHA successfully completed Making the Right Investment MRI Campaign raising over 35 million
Through capital fundraising initiatives like Your Health Your Future The Futures in Sight Every Life Countsquot and the Making the Right Investment MRI Campaign and ongoing capital campaign achievements you and your family have the ability to access leading edge healthcare delivered within local modern facilities by highly trained professionals
The success of the Foundation depends on your generous support With your contributions and participation we can all work Together Today for a Healthier Tomorrow
