Southlake Foundation

Southlake Foundation Southlake Health Foundation inspires investment from our community in leading edge care, close to home. www.southlakefoundation.ca

Since its inception, Southlake Foundation has granted $93.8 million to Southlake, transforming our Hospital from a small regional Hospital to the world class healthcare facility that it is today. Funds have been generated for medical equipment, capital projects, patient programs and staff education - all for the goal of creating a hospital that meets the expectation of excellent outcomes for our family members, friends and neighbours. At Southlake, we are committed to creating an environment in which our patients can have the confidence of expert care delivered by a compassionate team who truly puts the patient first. A lofty goal perhaps, but one to which our commitment is unwavering. At the Southlake Foundation, we believe that transparency and accountability are essential to our success. With that in mind, we were one of the founding members of Imagine Canada’s Ethical Code Program, a national program which requires that charities adhere to the highest standards of accountability in their relationships with donors. As a donor, it is important for you to know that a portion of your gift will be allocated to cover Foundation expenses necessary to raise millions of dollars annually and to help support the Hospital’s priority needs not covered by other funding. The Southlake Foundation Board establishes and monitors the allocation amount as part of the annual budgeting process. Our sincere appreciation to the generous donors who share our vision. It is through your support that we can improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of patients and their families every day.

Southlake Health Foundation was honoured to welcome CPG Aerospace owners Matthew and Michael Waddington, along with their wives Michelle and Liz, for a cheque presentation to celebrate their generous gift to our The Future Is Now Campaign, supporting Emergency Care at Southlake Health.

Raised in Newmarket, Southlake Health has always been the Waddington’s hospital. Having experienced Southlake’s Emergency Department both firsthand and through family members, the brothers were eager to give back to their community through the campaign.

“The Emergency Department is someplace that everybody experiences at one point or another and there’s good experiences and not so good experiences. Hopefully our gift can make more good experiences for those in emergency situations.”

After taking over CPG Aerospace in 2008 they began a long history of philanthropic ventures to various community organizations, including Southlake. Recognizing the need for donor support for community healthcare, they generously made their largest gift to Southlake this past holiday season to support Southlake’s Emergency Department, helping bring the The Future Is Now Campaign to over $7 million raised, enabling Southlake to expand our emergency spaces, and upgrade critical equipment in the department.

“In order to keep up with the demand, especially in an Emergency Department that sees so many people, giving now is better than later. The best time to invest in healthcare was yesterday, the second best is today.”

Thank you to Matthew, Michael, their families, and CPG Aerospace for their support of leading edge emergency care and for providing our clinical experts with the integral space, patient care equipment, and advanced technology they need to perform at their best when every second counts.

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate a group of incredible of women in our community who give their time, commitment, and philanthropy to make tangible impact at Southlake Health.

Southlake Health Foundation is proud to shine a spotlight on the Ladies in Philanthropy for Southlake — an inspiring group of women philanthropists whose collective generosity has raised over $750,000 to support programs across Southlake Health.

Over the last 15 years, LiPS support has brought critically needed equipment and advanced technologies to Southlake, including the MOLLI 2® System, a made-in-Canada wire-free breast localization technology, making locating tumours for breast cancer patients less invasive and more accurate. More than 200 women each year have benefitted from this innovative medical device as they are treated for breast cancer at Southlake.

Through their annual giving, these compassionate community leaders have made a tremendous impact at Southlake, for other women, and our communities as a whole. Their shared dedication has contributed to better patient experiences and more innovative care, right here, close to home.
Learn more about this incredible group at southlake.ca/lips and THANK YOU to all the women of our communities who are supporting leading edge care, close to home at Southlake Health.
