Hospital foundation hosts unique evening of storytelling

On May 5, Collingwood G&M Hospital Foundation will be hosting an evening full of powerful stories from donors, patients, and a panel of Collingwood G&M Hospital physicians and leaders.

Audience members will learn how innovation thrives within and outside the walls of CGMH and how community support stretches the limits of government funding to provide care that surpasses that of a typical rural hospital.

“Our hope is that our audience will be moved by the incredible stories heard on stage and will be inspired to play a role in growing a healthy and thriving South Georgian Bay community,” says CGMH Foundation President and CEO Jory Pritchard-Kerr, “this is not a fundraiser, but rather a chance to inspire and inform.”

Hosted at the Simcoe Street Theatre, this event will include cocktails, light fare, and a chance to connect with the community over the future of healthcare.

The panel will include some heavy-hitters from the Collingwood G&M Hospital including hospital president Michael Lacroix, Chief of Staff

Dr. Michael Lisi, Chief of Emergency Medicine Dr. Gregory Devet, Chief of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Dr. Gillian Yeates and Operating Room Lead Physician Dr. Jesse Guscott.

The event is from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 5, at Simcoe St. Theatre, 65 Simcoe St. Studio 7, in Collingwood.

Tickets cost $100 with a $50 tax receipt and are available at cgmhf.com/events/gather-round.
