Headwaters Health Care Centre (HHCC) is launching a $3.5 million fundraising campaign called “Investing in a Clearer Picture” that will bring state of the art diagnostic imaging technology to the hospital.
The diagnostic imaging department at Headwaters is struggling with aging equipment that’s at its end of life, due to exponential growth in patient volumes and tremendous wear and tear on the machines over the last decade. On average, Headwaters carries out 91,000 diagnostic imaging tests and delivers 900 babies per year.
“We know the diagnostic imaging touches just about every single patient that comes into the hospital, whether it’s a kid with a broken arm or cancer treatments,” said Danielle Gibb, Director of Leadership and Planned Giving at Headwaters Health Care Foundation (HHCF).

A local 8-year-old boy is working hard to improve his community, one donation at a time.
Chase Donnell, with the help of his parents and 12-year-old sister, Aaliyah, generated close to $3,000 for the Orangeville and District SPCA through a bath bomb fundraiser that started in mid-February.
“I love dogs and all animals, and I wanted to give them some help,” said Chase, when asked why he chose the SPCA as his charity.
He now has his heart set on fundraising for Headwaters Health Care Centre, as that’s where his 91-year-old grandpa receives care bi-weekly.

The Ontario government has ordered hospitals to ramp down elective surgeries and non-emergent/non-urgent care activities.
Headwaters Health Care Centre issued a joint statement last Friday (April 9) from the hospitals president and CEO Kim Delahunt, and Dr. Peter Cino, chief of staff and vice-president of medical affairs regarding the decision.
“These requests from Ontario Health are in response to an increase in positive COVID-19 case counts and widespread community transmission of the virus province wide,” the statement reads. “The goal is to preserve critical care and human resource capacity as we respond to Wave 3 of the pandemic.”
