Assunta Dewson, Manager of Health Records

“It’s a great thing to contribute to because at the end of the day, we are – or will all be – affected by this hospital at some point. Whether we work here or have family here or have utilized services here. It impacts all of our lives and I feel it important to donate to something that’s only going to benefit all of us in the end.”

Charlene Branch, Clinical Information Clerk

“I’ve been donating from a deduction on my pay since I started, and knowing with an aging hospital and patients with new diagnoses, it’s important to keep up to date with the changing technology, equipment, and training. This past year DI received new equipment and software which has helped our community immensely.”

Rhonda Prichett, TeleMed Clerk

“LWDHF raises money for new equipment for the hospital, Kenora needs to have the upgraded equipment to best serve our community and improve patient care for the entire region.”

Bailey Coulis, Secretary 1

“We all have to access health care in some way at some point in our lives either through regular checkups with primary care physicians or emergent situations and often times these facilities are underappreciated and under resourced. The support from community donations can help facilities keep up to date with the latest equipment”

Lynn Ronnebeck, Registered Nurse

“By participating in the Employee Giving Program, it provides us an opportunity to have a direct impact and improve the quality of healthcare services available for the people of our community.”

Olivia Boucha, Maintenance Support

“Coming from such a large family that has been in Kenora for numerous generations, it is important to me that we keep our hospital running with the most up-to-date technology available. My extended family keeps growing and I want the next generation to have a hospital in Kenora, so they can have the privilege of modern health care in our community.”
