GOVERNANCE
Strong leadership and transparent stewardship are at the heart of our Foundation’s success.
GOVERNANCE
Stewardship. Strategy. Service
At the SMGH Foundation, strong governance is at the heart of everything we do. Guided by our volunteer Board of Directors, we are committed to transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership in all aspects of our work.
Our Board plays a vital role in shaping the future of health care at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital. These dedicated community leaders bring a wealth of experience, diverse perspectives, and a shared passion for making a difference close to home. Together, they ensure donor dollars are invested with integrity—supporting life-saving equipment, advanced technology, and compassionate care for every patient, every day.
We are proud to operate as an independent registered charity, working in close collaboration with the hospital while maintaining clear fiduciary responsibility to our donors and community. Through strong oversight and strategic vision, our governance team helps transform generosity into impact.
