The MHA's President & CEO Julie McBrien recently had a great conversation with Susan Clarke, Mayor of Adelaide Metcalfe and 2026 Warden of Middlesex County, focused on the importance of strong, sustainable healthcare in our rural communities 💬

Together, they discussed:
🏥 The importance of delivering care close to home
💡 Cost-conscious decision-making in today’s healthcare environment
🤝 The vital role of our Hospital Foundations
📊 Ongoing financial pressures facing Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital and Four Counties Health Services

These kinds of conversations matter as we work together to support strong, sustainable healthcare across Middlesex County 💙

Julie is looking forward to continuing the conversation and welcoming Susan to Four Counties Health Services for their next visit!

Recently, we caught up with three important Middlesex Hospital Alliance (MHA) leaders to celebrate the result of the MHA and FCHS Foundation BOARD CHALLENGE held this past December.

The two boards challenged their directors to boost donations toward IV Pumps required for Four Counties' ACNU and Emergency Department. The group more than doubled their goal of $4,000 by contributing a whopping ➡ $9,150 ⬅ toward the campaign — enough to FULLY FUND two Intravenous Pumps for FCHS!

THANK YOU!

Pictured together at the MHA Volunteer Appreciation Event last Wednesday are (l to r): Ron Sapsford, MHA Board Chair; Julie McBrien, MHA President & CEO; and Tom Jeffery, FCHS Foundation Board Chair.

We appreciate the dedication of our volunteer board directors who give so freely of their time to the governance of our hospital and foundation!

Sharing today, just after Volunteer Week, however it's never too late to honour our dedicated volunteers!

🌟 Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! 🌟

The MHA is proud to celebrate the 80+ dedicated volunteers who contribute hundreds of hours of support each year to our patients, visitors, and staff across our two hospital sites. 💙

Their kindness, compassion, and genuine desire to help others create a welcoming and supportive environment for patients, families, and staff alike. Whether it’s offering a friendly smile, guiding someone through the hospital, or lending a helping hand during a busy day, their presence makes a lasting impact and helps ensure everyone feels cared for.

We were also pleased to host a Volunteer Appreciation Event this past Thursday to celebrate these incredible individuals. Stay tuned next week for photos from the event as we continue to recognize and thank our volunteers for all that they do!

To all of our volunteers—thank you. We wouldn't be able to provide the care we would expect for our own families without you.

Fittingly, on this lovely Earth Day and during Volunteer Week, our FCHS Auxiliary members & friends spent the morning salvaging plants from the hospital’s side courtyard.

Over 200 Plants were carefully identified and potted for the Auxiliary’s Spring Bazaar & Plant Sale coming up at FCHS on MONDAY, MAY 4 from 10 am - 3 pm.

Many more plants, vendors, books, and baked goods can be found at this popular event in support of Newbury Hospital.

We encourage you to stop in for lunch or just to browse and…
May The 4th Be With You!
