RMH Foundation holiday appeal seeks support for what matters most
Whether you’ve lived here all your life or you are new to Kawartha Lakes, what matters most for you and your family is knowing that the highest quality care is available nearby.
That is the message Jeff Todd is sharing this holiday season, through the RMH Foundation holiday appeal letters being delivered to households across Kawartha Lakes. Having grown up here, moved away for 20 years, and returned to raise his family, Todd values community. He supports that sentiment as a hockey coach, as a volunteer on the RMH Foundation board of directors, and by giving to the WE ARE THE ROSS campaign.
“Just as you trust your colleagues and teammates, you trust your community. I see the Hospital as a centre for that trust. We all count on Ross Memorial to care for us when we need it most. And to show our gratitude, we give back when the hospital needs us,” said Todd in a press release. “In my finance consulting role, I see how technology helps organizations be more efficient and productive. The same is true at the Ross. Modern systems advance the quality and efficiency of our health care, enabling caregivers to provide more face time with patients. From finance to farming to physicians, we all need the right tools to do our best work.”
The WE ARE THE ROSS capital campaign is a community effort to raise $25 million to ensure patients in Kawartha Lakes can access the best care close to home. Through his letter, Todd asks an important question: will you make a donation to the campaign and help our hospital meet the evolving patient care needs of our growing community?
“As the community grows, what matters most at the Ross remains the same,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “When we need care, we expect our local hospital to be equipped and prepared to help us through every kind of challenge. But government funding doesn’t cover the cost of all of the hospital’s equipment and technology. We do that together with every donation. Please support our holiday appeal with a gift that matters to everyone.”
Your donation will grow our community’s Emergency Department, enhance mental health crisis care, and support more critical projects that our community is counting on.

your exceptional caring.
