🎄✨ Holly Jolly Soirée ✨🎄

What a night! Thank you to all our team members and guests who joined us on Friday for our annual Holiday Party. The room was full of laughter, great food, and plenty of holiday cheer - exactly what we needed to kick off the season together.

A big congratulations to everyone who took home one of the amazing prizes throughout the evening! Of course, a heartfelt shout-out to our incredible Social Committee for their creativity, hard work, and behind-the-scenes magic in hosting such a memorable event.✨🧡

Our local MPP proved he’s not afraid of a little cold and a big challenge! ❄️💙

A huge thank you to MPP Billy Denault for accepting our friendly challenge and bravely taking the leap at the Deep River & District Health Foundation's Dip to Donate Polar Plunge yesterday!

We’re grateful for his enthusiasm and support for DRDH. Community leadership comes in many forms - sometimes it’s diving into freezing water for a great cause!😉

Our brave (and slightly frozen) DRDH crew took the plunge yesterday at the Deep River & District Health Foundation’s annual Dip to Donate Polar Plunge - and they did it with big smiles, bigger energy, and very cold toes!

A huge shoutout to our incredible team members who jumped in to support our organization, including Mary, Jeff, Rebekah, Michaela, Agia, Dr. Quenneville, Megan, and Lynne. Your courage, commitment, and “type 2 fun” enthusiasm helped make this year’s event one to remember!

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, or cheered on our dippers!

Until next year… who’s joining the DRDH Dippers? 🥶❄️🌊

🎄🍪☕️ Our incredible Auxiliary volunteers hosted a festive and cheerful Holiday Tea for our organization last week - complete with delicious treats, holiday warmth, and a welcome opportunity to connect.

We are so grateful for the Auxiliary and all they do throughout the year to support our patients, residents, families, and team. Their generosity, dedication, and holiday spirit made this afternoon truly special.

Thank you to our amazing volunteers for bringing so much joy to our organization, and to all our team members, board members, and physicians who stopped by to celebrate the season with us!

Construction Update: Our New Four Seasons Lodge Long-Term Care Home

Members of our team were onsite last week to check in on the progress of the new Four Seasons Lodge Long-Term Care Home being built on our health campus. We’re excited to share a few photos from the visit - each milestone brings us one step closer to providing a modern, person-centered home for our 96 future residents.

Thank you to everyone working hard to bring this important project to life. We look forward to keeping our community updated as construction continues!
