Midland Civitan Club Invests In Healthcare With $5,000 Gift

The Midland Civitan Club has once again demonstrated its deep commitment to local healthcare with a $5,000 donation to the Georgian Bay General Hospital (GBGH) Foundation, supporting the Foundation’s efforts to bring a Mammography program to GBGH.

This contribution builds on more than 25 years of steadfast support from the Club, whose members have continuously invested in equipment, technology, and programs that strengthen care close to home.

“Our Civitan Club has supported our local hospitals for decades, going back to when we had the Huronia Hospital and Penetanguishene General Hospital,” shares Mike Tinney, President, Midland Civitan Club. “We have always been supportive in an effort to acknowledge the importance of having a hospital in our own community. We are very fortunate to have our own hospital here in North Simcoe, and I think that our local hospital is the single most important part of our community.”

The new Mammography program is a key component of the Foundation’s We See You campaign, a multi-year effort to expand access to critical diagnostic services and mental health supports within the community. Thanks to the Midland Civitan Club, and many other donors, this aspect of the campaign has now been fully funded, bringing GBGH one step closer to offering life-saving breast imaging in our community.

“We are so grateful for the Midland Civitan Club’s ongoing generosity and community spirit,” says Victoria Evans, senior key relationships officer, GBGH Foundation. “Their continued support helps us invest in modern equipment and vital services that ensure every patient is seen, supported, and cared for close to home.”

The We See You campaign is a bold goal to raise $20-million to build an acute mental health wing at GBGH, and invest in priority medical equipment & technology across every department of the hospital. It is about transforming the patient experience, ensuring no one in crisis is left waiting, and equipping our teams with the right tools in the right spaces.
