On Monday, we stopped by to see Elena Stavinschi at Samuels Hotel Inc for a hotel tour and visit to the cafe before a generous cheque presentation. We met Elena at the Huron Chamber Post-Holiday Party earlier this year and yesterday she presented us with a cheque for $1,500, recognizing the convenience of other diagnostic imaging services at AMGH and keen to see the services expanded.

Thank you Samuels Hotel for helping us bring life-changing technology to Huron County.

Meet Ralph Rubino, a community leader and proud member of the Magnetic Moments campaign team. This weekend, he'll join the A Life That's Good - Podcast to share his personal journey and the need for MRI services closer to home.

Ralph has a strong belief in helping where he can. As the owner/operator of Tri City Financial Group's Goderich office, Ralph has found his passion in assisting families with their financial wellness and ensuring they are properly protected.

Driven by a desire to see our community succeed and leave it better than we found, Ralph is on the board of directors of Engage Goderich and the Huron Chamber of Commerce. He volunteers with AMGH Foundation's fund development committee and is often seen at fundraising events around town.

Ralph's personal experience of long wait times and travelling great distances for MRI diagnostic testing motivated him to join the Magnetic Moments capital campaign team. He believes that these efforts will leave a lasting impact on our community.

Continuing our series introducing the members of the Magnetic Moments campaign team, we’re excited to spotlight Vanda McNeil.

Vanda has been a lifelong resident of Huron County, growing up on a farm near Seaforth and proudly calling Goderich home for many years. She has and continues to work as a successful family owner/operator of a dairy business Heather Holme Holsteins.

She believes that caring is the attentiveness and compassion to others needs. Keeping our loved ones close to home in a medical crisis is comforting for the patient as well as to those providing support. Amazing medical technology in a warm familiar environment is healthy for everyone.

For these reasons Vanda looks forward to giving back to her community by being an active member of the Magnetic Moments Campaign Cabinet.
