Orangeville, ON – January 14, 2025
Headwaters Health Care Foundation is excited to announce the completion of its largest matching gift challenge in history, raising a remarkable $3 million for Smart Headwaters, the campaign to bring MRI and more to our hospital. This matching gift challenge was made possible thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the community and the matching commitment from the Morningview Foundation.
This tremendous achievement is a pivotal milestone in the campaign to bring the first MRI machine to the Dufferin-Caledon region, a crucial step toward enhancing healthcare services for thousands of residents. The MRI will help improve the diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of conditions, improving patient outcomes and reducing the need for patients to travel outside the region for critical imaging services.
“The response from our community has been nothing short of incredible,” said K.C. Carruthers, CEO of the Headwaters Health Care Foundation. “We are deeply grateful for the support of every individual, business, and organization who contributed to this challenge. Together, we have made a transformative impact on our healthcare system, ensuring that our loved ones will have access to the highest quality care right here at home.”
The $3 million matching gift challenge, generously pledged by the Morningview Foundation, was met through the dedication of donors who recognized the profound importance of bringing cutting-edge medical technology to Headwaters Health Care Centre. Their contributions, combined with the matching funds, have brought the Smart Headwaters campaign significantly closer to its $18 million goal.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Headwaters Health Care Foundation on this groundbreaking initiative,” said Morningview Foundation. “The success of this matching gift challenge highlights the strength and generosity of the community, and we are proud to be part of such a meaningful project that will benefit so many.”
Smart Headwaters fundraising campaign remains ongoing; we are in the home stretch of the campaign but still need your support to cross the finish line. Every dollar counts towards reaching our goal.
