Strathroy Lions Help with CT Scanner Campaign

The Strathroy Lions Club continues to be a strong supporter of the hospital. The Club recently made a donation of $10,956 to help with the Foundation's fundraising campaign to pay for the hospital's new state-of-the-art CT scanner.

The funds donated represented a portion of the proceeds from the 2007 Strathroy Hometown Turkey Festival. Below Lions Club past-president Gary Zimmerman presents SMGH Foundation chairman Ed Stevens with the donation.

The Club has donated over $60,000 in total to the hospital since 1995, funding various needs. This includes generous support during the Building Together Campaign when new waiting rooms in both Emergency and Ambulatory Care Departments were built.

In 2001 the Club raised over $21,000 from a fundraiser and bingo event to support Palliative Care.
