In light of the ongoing postal situation, donations to the BCHS Foundation could be negatively impacted. December is our busiest giving period from our generous community, and most donations would normally arrive through the mail. A shortage like this is significant, especially when the total cost of replacing necessary diagnostic equipment exceeds $6 million.

Your donation ensures uninterrupted and continued service to the community and takes advantage of technological improvements to benefit patients. The BCHS Foundation’s Hope for Healthcare campaign is currently raising funds to support the purchase of several essential diagnostic tools. Digital mammography, ultrasound machines, a new gamma camera and the MRI at Brantford General and the Willett, Paris all require donor support.

We are hoping that our community can give the gift of healthcare this season. Your involvement, through a donation of any size, allows us to continue to support our dedicated caregiving professionals with the medical equipment they need to provide excellent patient care.

Here are some convenient other ways to give:

• Donate online at bchsdonate.com
• Call us at  519-751-5510 (credit card only)
• Visit us in person at the Brantford General Hospital, 200 Terrace Hill St (the Foundation Office is located in A Wing Level 1, just past the Tim Hortons). Office hours are Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, a secure after-hours drop box is available. Parking up to 30 minutes is free in hospital lots – or let us know you’re coming and we can meet you outside the entrance.
• If you are unable to do any of the above, please give us a call or send us an email and a member of our Foundation team would be happy to come to you to pick up your gift!

Tax receipts for online donations are emailed immediately.  For other giving methods, including your email address will help us send your receipt should the postal disruption continue.

We encourage everyone to sign up for our email list to keep up to date, and follow the BCHS Foundation on all of your favourite social media sites.

Thank you for keeping us in mind this holiday season!
