We're lighting up the spruce tree in front of the hospital again this year! The tree is strung with white lights. As coloured bulbs are bought, we will replace the white bulbs. Every bulb purchased is a donation to fund vital equipment for our hospital. There is an option to buy bulbs in honour or in memory, if desired. Visit www.pdhfoundation.ca and click on Ways to Give to purchase.

A really special person was missing at the Palmerston and District Hospital Auxiliary Bazaar today. Yesterday the PDH lost one of its most ardent ambassadors in Bob Emmerson. Bob was the hospital CEO for over 30 years, and rare was the PDH event where he wasn't in attendance. When I first came on board with the Foundation, Bob was an excellent source of information about our hospital, but more importantly, he never missed an opportunity to encourage me in my work. He will be so missed in our community, through his support of our hospital, and his Lions activities. Diane and his family have our most sincere and deepest sympathy. ....Dale.

Thanks to everyone who supported the 2025 CKNX Health Care Heroes Radiothon! The grand total for the day, which supports nine hospital foundations, was $378,300! Our total for the day was over $61,140, which means we're over halfway to our $100,000 goal!

Thank you, Blessings To You! We appreciate your support to help us reach our Radiothon goal of $100,000 towards IT Upgrades.

We all understand how important it is to have a Hospital here in Minto, so Blessings To You recently donated $5,000 via the Annual CKNX Radiothon to Palmerston District Hospital Foundation.
Pictured from L to R: Barb Burrows, Diane McFarlane, Anna Sluis, Marg Stevens (all Blessings volunteers) and accepting the cheque on behalf of PDHF is Dale Franklin (Development Officer PDH Foundation).
