New Markdale Hospital
It is with great pride that we announce the New Markdale Hospital is now fully operational! The staff and patients are grateful for the spacious new environment. The 68,000 square foot facility offers 24/7 Emergency Department care, a full Diagnostic Imaging Department, Ambulatory Care, Physiotherapy, full laboratory services, as well as 4 ambulance bays. But – with that comes the need for funding. Medical equipment is ever changing and having a new up to date hospital means that we need to make sure our equipment is also up to date. With the community responsible for 100% of all costs of furniture, fixtures and equipment, fundraisers such as our Gran Fondo is IMPERATIVE to ensure that our staff have what they need to provide superior health care right here close to home! Thank you for participating in our Gran Fondo. YOUR fundraising efforts will have a long-lasting impact on many!
100% of every dollar raised will go directly toward the New Markdale Hospital.
