Mission
The Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is dedicated to fundraising in partnership with our community to meet the medical equipment and facility needs of Lake of the Woods District Hospital.
Did you know?
90% of the Capital Equipment at LWDH has been funded by community dollars. Your support helps us keep care close to home.
Lisa’s strength has sparked something incredible. Her workplace family at the Kenora Jail rallied around her, hosting a fundraiser and even shaving their heads in solidarity. With her trademark spirit and humility, Lisa has chosen to donate the $2,120 raised to Forms of Hope. The Forms of Hope is a special fund through the LWDH Foundation that provides support for local patients undergoing cancer treatment at LWDH.
Launched on February 12, 2025, the Beyond The Scan Campaign set out to raise $8.5 million to fund a fully operational Diagnostic Imaging Centre of Excellence at the Lake of the Woods District Hospital (LWDH). As part of the launch, the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation was proud to announce an incredible opportunity: every donation made between February 12 and April 30, 2025 would be matched dollar-for-dollar by the FDC Foundation, a private foundation based in Mississauga, ON, up to a maximum of $2 million.
Today, the LWDH Foundation is thrilled to announce that the matching challenge has been fully achieved — a powerful testament to the overwhelming generosity and commitment of the community.
On Wednesday May 14, 2025, Sheri Lang, RBC Community Manager, and RBC staff from Dryden and Kenora, visited the Lake of the Woods District Hospital Training Classroom. This wasn’t a training session, but a celebration — the RBC Foundation generously granted $10,000 to the Lake of the Woods District Hospital to purchase four new Intravenous training devices and a Pediatric MATT Auscultation Trainer.
The Lake of the Woods District Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce the final total raised through the Beyond The Scan Capital Campaign: an incredible $9,522,151 — made possible by the community, for the community.
