Maria has faced more than her share of heartbreak. She lost her husband and son to cancer. Then came her own diagnosis: lymphoma.

“What am I going to do?” she asked, overwhelmed and afraid.

Thankfully, Maria wasn’t alone.

She had the team at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital by her side, and because of donors like you, she has had access to advanced cancer care, close to home.

Today, you can help patients like Maria again. A generous matching gift from sisters Carol Vesters and Annette Godziek means donations will be matched 2x.

Your gift will help fund urgently needed upgrades to our Interventional Radiology Suite, a critical part of cancer care that offers faster, less invasive treatment.

Maria said it best: “I saw the huge difference your giving makes.”

Let’s keep that difference going.

💙 Donate now and double your impact for patients like Maria.

⏳ The countdown is ON—Giving Tuesday is just 14 days away!

Why does that matter? Because your gift will go twice as far, thanks to a generous 2X match.

That means twice the care. Twice the comfort. Twice the hope.

Our goal: Raise $150,000 (and beat it!) to expand cancer care for patients in our community.

Let’s do something incredible, together.

Our hospital was built with growth in mind, and that future is now.

With the province’s approval to expand Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital’s shelled space, this project will add 111 new beds and 80,000 sq. ft. of modern, healing space for patients and families.

This next chapter relies on the generosity of our community. With support from our donors, we can bring this vision to life and ensure world-class care continues to grow with Oakville’s needs.

Together, we’re building the future of healthcare right here at home.

🪔 Happy Diwali from all of us at Oakville Hospital Foundation 🪔

Today, as families across our community celebrate light, hope, and new beginnings, we’re thinking about the bright moments we shared just a few weeks ago at the 12th Annual Oakville Diwali Gala—our biggest and most successful year to date!

With over 500 guests coming together in the spirit of generosity and community, we raised an incredible $482,000 in support of Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.

To our generous sponsors, dazzling guests, and everyone who came out to celebrate with us: thank you. You didn’t just show up for the party, you showed up for your hospital. And that means everything.

Meet Jackie and Ryan—two of the many faces behind the care that helps patients find hope, healing, and connection.

Their work in outpatient mental health is changing lives every single day. Today, we honour the people who care for our mental health, and everyone who’s navigating their own mental health journey. 💚

Today we recognize Emergency Nurses Day and their commitment to enhancing patient experiences through continuous learning. During a special education day, emergency charge nurses came together to strengthen their leadership and communication skills, building on their ability to support patients and colleagues in high pressure situations.

This commitment to continuous improvement helps us enhance the patient experience and learn from real-life examples to advance safe, timely, and compassionate care for everyone who comes through our doors.

Thank you to our ED nursing teams for your dedication and commitment.
