For more than 38 years, the Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital Foundation (PECMHF) has been the voice of our community hospital. The foundation helps to advance the hospital’s primary role in our community, which is to provide exceptional health care.

The foundation was established to accept funds donated to Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital to ensure they would be protected and available for hospital needs now and in the future. Without the foundation raising money, the hospital could not stay current with the evolving technology and systems that shape modern medicine.

Since its incorporation in 1985, PECMHF has helped donors to make a difference at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital.

Funding equipment and building our new hospital are our current priorities. Making this happen is not possible without donor support. In the current economic environment, we are challenged to raise funds for our Care Champions to continue to provide safe, high-quality services to the hospital's patients. Community support is crucial to such access and the fulfillment of our mission. 

Prince Edward County may not be very large, but the generosity is exceptional. You can make our community a healthier place to live by giving a gift to our hospital.

We all have different reasons to give, and there are many ways you can choose to help improve healthcare in our community. Donations give the Care Champions working in our hospital the vital tools they need to provide care to every patient that comes through our doors. Having the right equipment in the right hands means that patient care remains first-rate at our hospital.

There are many ways to make a meaningful gift. Below are a few ways you can make a gift today.

If none of the options above suit your lifestyle, our team will work with you to help you make a gift that is meaningful to you. We enjoy working 1:1 with our donors and would love to hear from you.

As a side note, Remembrance Day is fast approaching. Our local Legion branches are essential partners to our foundation. I hope you remember to wear a poppy and give what you can to the poppy fund. PECMHF has received over $141,000 in equipment funding in the last decade, mainly through poppy sales from our local Legion branches. We are so grateful.

The foundation is indebted to all donors who make it possible for our hospital to deliver the best care in our community. Together, we can all access high-quality healthcare close to home.
