Lions Club of Wingham Pledges $25,000 to Wingham & District Hospital CT Scanner Campaign

The Lions Club of Wingham has committed to donate $25,000 to the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation in support of the Caring Together campaign for a new CT Scanner.
This donation in one more in a long tradition of community support. The members of the Lions Club of Wingham have been generous donors to the hospital since 1984. Their support has helped bring a wide variety of medical technology to the hospital including, a chemistry analyzer, cautery device, anaesthetic machine, OR Scopes, and much more.

Now they are playing an important role in bringing up-to-date digital imaging technology to our community. CT scans have quickly become the new standard of medical practice. Having it available locally will be faster and safer for patients.

The Lions raise funds for the community organizations they support through their annual projects such as the CKNX Lions Auction, shopping spree raffle, barbecues, and Swiss Chalet dinner events. 
The Directors of the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation are sincerely grateful to their partners at the Lions Club. Everyone in the community is invited to join the Lions in supporting the CT Scanner by visiting www.wdhfoundation.ca.
