Foundation News: Foundation Update (April 2025)
Thank you, Sioux Lookout and region, your generosity is helping SLMHC to continue to be The Hub of Medical Excellence for the North! If you are following other hospital fundraising campaigns in the region, the fundraising is ongoing so as not to be reactionary and ensuring there is funding to keep our hospitals up to date.  Every community wants the best access to top of the line equipment, to be able to offer our medical professionals state of the art technology in which to provide us with quick, efficient testing and results.   What does it mean when we say … keeping quality healthcare close to home?  It means that when you choose to donate to a fundraising cause for the hospital here in Sioux Lookout, your donation will help fund specialized equipment purchases in one of the many departments looking to upgrade to state of the art technology.  This means that our loved ones – family, friends, neighbours, co-workers are taken care of in the sincerest way.  Our goal at the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre Foundation is to be able to provide relief, less stress and increased comfort for those in need of testing, surgery and aftercare – not having to take time off work and the added stress of travel out of the community for testing, surgeries and treatments.  To be able to have your family by your side during your healthcare journey.
