Procter Family Donates $100,000 To Wingham Hospital CT Scanner

The Procter family, from the Belgrave area, have generously donated 100-thousand dollars to the Wingham & District Hospital Foundation’s Caring Together Campaign to support a brand-new CT Scanner.

Settling in Morris Township, near Belgrave, in 1851, the Procter family has deep roots in the community. Six generations of farmers in the family include George and Elizabeth, Kate and Jennifer, and now Wes Klages.

Kate is a dedicated advocate for agriculture in Huron County. She believes that farmers are united in their values of supporting the communities where their families and employees can build good lives. “Giving back to our local hospital and making sure we have the services we need is so important to the health of everyone we care about and to the strength of our community,” says Procter.

“In the same way that farmers need the right equipment for the job so too do our skilled healthcare workers. The Procter family deeply understands that,” says Wingham and District Hospital Foundation Executive Director Nicole Duquette-Jutzi. “Whether it’s a rare farm accident or one of the aches and pains hard-working farmers develop the Procters’ generous gift means our hospital will be well equipped to provide essential care in every situation.”

The Procter family hopes that their gift will inspire other families to also support the Caring Together campaign with gifts big or small. For more information or to make a gift, visit www.wdhfoundation.ca/ct-campaign.
