| “Good health is something that we often take for granted. We tend not to think much about it until something happens to us…or one of our loved ones” said Dr. Laura Kelly, Emergency Physician, RMH.
New and updated equipment is required every year to ensure that our physicians, surgeons, nurses and health care staff can provide the best possible care to the 95,000 residents in our communities.
Ridge Meadows Hospital Foundation is proud to invest in your health by funding several pieces of urgently needed, life saving equipment each year. In addition, we support a number of community initiatives that support a healthy lifestyle and healthy choices.
