Saying Thanks

A heartful thanks for turning goodwill into real impact

We are so grateful for the generosity of our community service groups, businesses, grants, and partner Foundations! Healthcare isn’t just a service; it’s a shared priority.

Valley Regional Hospital Auxiliary

The Auxiliary presented a $5,000 donation in support of the purchase of a NiOx Vero Machine for Respiratory Therapy in the hospital.

This advanced tool helps monitor asthma in young patients, making early detection and treatment of flare ups more effective, helping kids breathe easier. This will help reduce hospital visits and supports healthier outcomes for the Annapolis Valley.

A generous $5,000 contribution, from the Municipality of the County of Annapolis through their Community Grant Program, to the Valley Regional Hospital Foundation’s Patient Support Fund will make a real difference for patients right here at home — helping neighbors who struggle to access the care they need.

From rides to medical appointments and specialized food for recovery, to uninsured medications, this fund ensures that financial barriers don’t stand in the way of better health.
