Lynne's Club

Your regular monthly gift will help to provide a reliable source of funding to support a future that our community determines—a Centre for Rural Health and Education. 

The Hospital has been in discussions with all of its stakeholders about where to go next. Collectively, they tell us that they support a full service general community hospital with a particular role in teaching the next generations. The Hospital Board of Directors has confirmed the concept of a Centre for Rural Health and Education and is currently in discussions with a number of partners about the next steps in this development.

The first step is the creation of a campus concept that will include playing host to a number of community partners such as Public Health, Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) and Job Zone. This provides an opportunity to develop combined approaches to meeting the needs of our rural communities.

WDMH has initiated plans with stakeholders for a combined approach to the care of the elderly, including integration with Dundas Manor and ultimately the development of other elder services.

Discussions with health care partners to take the Centre to a new level to become a Centre of Excellence focused on rural health care and the education of rural health care professionals are underway.  This ensures that the learning created by the Centre is passed along to others.

About Lynne

In June, 2006 the WDMH Foundation family lost its Managing Director, Lynne Wilson to cancer.

Lynne cared deeply for her hospital. Her passion and dedication to WDMH helped to bring the dream of a new hospital to life.

This year marks the 5th Anniversary since Lynne’s death and the WDMH Foundation wanted to do something special to mark its appreciation for Lynne’s service.

Lynne’s husband Laurie and the staff at the WDMH Foundation have partnered to get others to pick-up where Lynne left off. She would have been proud that WDMH is forging a new path – a Centre for Rural Health and Education.
