At the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital (STEGH) Foundation we have always relied on the incredible generosity of our community. Your donations have played a crucial role in enhancing our hospital’s capabilities and ensuring that we can provide the best possible care to our patients. Today, we want to highlight why your continued support is more important than ever and how it directly impacts our hospital.

The Crucial Role of Community Donations

Funding healthcare is a complex and ongoing challenge. While government funding provides a significant portion of our budget, it often falls short of covering all the essential services and advanced technologies our community needs. This is where your donations make a world of difference.  

‍

Breakdown of Funding Sources:

• Government Funding:  Covers basic operational costs and some essential services, but often lacks the resources for cutting-edge technology and specialized equipment. 
• Grants and Foundations:  Provide targeted funding for specific projects but are limited in scope and duration. 
• Community Donations: Fill the critical gaps, enabling us to invest in advanced medical technologies, enhance patient care services, and improve our facilities. 

Your contributions ensure that we can go above and beyond basic care, offering the latest in medical technology and comprehensive services that our community deserves.
