📣 Calling all local artists!

The WDMH Foundation is launching The Giving Gallery, a vibrant display of local art in the hallway between the main lobby and Diagnostic Imaging.

Your work will be showcased, shared with the community, and available for purchase, with some of the proceeds supporting the WDMH Foundation.

Paintings, photographs, and hanging mixed media art will be considered.

Completion of the new Dundas Manor is getting closer! 🩷💜

More than 200 of Ontario’s long-term care homes are located in rural communities. Many are older homes that need to be rebuilt so that rural seniors can continue to age in place in their home communities.

Dundas Manor in Wi******er is one project already well underway. Rebuilding this much-needed home will add more spaces for seniors who need the care and support that long-term care provides.

Construction of this new home is contributing $69 million to GDP and $48 million in labour income. Once complete, the redeveloped Dundas Manor will be part of a campus of care, helping to integrate the LTC home into the broader health care system and ensuring residents can conveniently connect to the care they need.

The Kin Club of Russell did it again.
