💛 What does an Angel Tree gift do?

It helps diagnose patients faster.
It supports safer, more precise procedures.
It brings critical imaging technology closer to home.

This holiday season, our community has already raised $19,390 toward our $25,000 Angel Tree goal in support of a new fluoroscopy machine at Hanover and District Hospital.

With your help, we can ensure patients receive timely, high-quality care—without having to travel farther during an already stressful time.

Our hearts are with the families, friends, and community of the JDSS students who tragically lost their lives yesterday. Words cannot capture the grief of such a profound loss, and we mourn alongside everyone affected.

At the Hanover and District Hospital Foundation, our mission is to support the health and well-being of our community every day. In moments like this, the importance of coming together — to care, comfort, and support one another — is clearer than ever.

We send our deepest condolences and encourage anyone impacted to reach out to local support services or their school counsellors. Together, we hold this community in our thoughts during this difficult time.
