Exceptional Community, Exceptional Care Campaign

With the demand for Northumberland Hills Hospital’s services changing and growing as our population continues to increase and age, we have launched the largest campaign in our hospital and Northumberland County’s history. Together, we will raise $25 million to ensure residents across west Northumberland have access to faster, better, and smarter care close to home.

With your help, we will bring new services closer to home and invest in Faster, Smarter, Connected Care. Together, we will:

Keep pace with advancing technologies by replacing both the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) scanners
Increase our local and regional surgical capacity by building and equipping a 4th Operating Room
Support better patient outcomes by creating a new Integrated Stroke Unit
Expand and centralize the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to increase our capacity to offer critical care close to home
Redevelop both the Pharmacy and Medical Device Reprocessing Department to streamline workflows and support an expansion of services

Current Capital Priorities

Every year, thousands of people from across Northumberland come to NHH seeking expert care and/or treatment to help restore their health. From labour and delivery to palliative, diagnostics to acute care and outpatient care, Northumberland Hills Hospital serves its community at the highest level of health care possible.

While the majority of our province’s hospitals’ operating dollars flow from Ontario’s Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, funding for capital equipment remains the responsibility of the community whose members will benefit most from their own investment. The best hospitals are the ones that have generous communities. With continued investment from our community, we will enhance the care provided, support the attraction of talented medical expertise to our community and save more lives.

Gifts today will help purchase priority medical equipment and technology for our hospital as approved by the Hospital's Board of Directors, support continuing education for staff and physicians, and contribute to the expansion of services available in our community. There are several areas of care where donors have an opportunity to make a difference in the availability, timeliness and quality of patient care that our friends, neighbours and loved ones will receive at NHH.

Ambulatory Care
Cancer & Supportive Care Clinic
Community Mental Health Services
Diagnostic Imaging

Maternal Child Care
