The Dauphin Hospital Foundation has sent out its year in review and they want to thank everyone who supported the foundation over the past year.

The Foundation was over the moon in 2021 to accept an estate donation of $100,000 from Dauphin Resident Anne Stewart, who passed away earlier this year. Other large contributions last year came from the Dauphin Legion Poppy Fund for $8,600 and the Rorketon Drop-in Centre for $7,000.

It is due to donations like these that the foundation was able to purchase two large pieces of equipment for the Hospital totaling almost $61,000.

The foundation wants to recognize the unfortunate loss of two key supporters in 2021, Dr. Allen Lysack, and former City of Dauphin Board representative Mayor Allen Dowhan.

"Dauphin Regional Health Centre was always top of mind for them and they both worked in different, but important ways to ensure that DRHC was always striving to be the best it could be, we reflect fondly on the memories of their dedication and contributions," said Greg Thompson, Dauphin Hospital Foundation Chairperson.

The foundation will be meeting early in 2022 to review options for new equipment purchases, grants for health care workers to upgrade their skills, scholarships, and contribution funds.
