💙 Care Champions in Action 💙Sometimes, it’s not just one person — it’s an entire team that makes a lasting difference.

A grateful family recently made a Care Champion gift in honour of the inpatient care team at PECM Hospital, recognizing the compassion and dedication shown to their loved one.

Here’s what they shared:

"We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the incredible team at Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital for the compassionate care my father received. Every department we encountered treated him — and our family — with kindness, respect, and professionalism. It was never just medical care; it was personal. From thoughtful conversations to the ‘extra extras’ that made difficult days a little easier, we always felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Thank you to every nurse, doctor, technologist, support staff member, and volunteer who played a role in his care. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and our family will always be grateful."

✨ Has someone — or a team — made a difference in your care?
✨ Did you experience kindness that you’ll never forget?

Community spirit made a splash in Wellington ❄️💙 The first-ever Pounder Polar Plunge, hosted by Brandon and Hailey Pounder of Pounder’s Pub & Patio, brought together nearly 40 brave participants, local hockey teams, and supporters for a fun-filled day in support of local causes.

Together, the event raised:
💧 $1,000 for the PECMH Foundation’s Back the Build campaign
🚤 $1,000 for the Wellington Auxiliary Rescue Association (WARA)

From icy plunges to a community BBQ (thanks to the County Royals!), this event showed the power of coming together to support healthcare and water safety in Prince Edward County.

A huge thank you to everyone who took the plunge, donated, and cheered from the sidelines—we can’t wait to see this grow into an annual tradition!

We’re so grateful to Quinte Health for highlighting our incredible team and the work underway to build the future of care in Prince Edward County.

We are proud to stand alongside Quinte Health in supporting care close to home, and in helping bring a leading-edge new hospital to life that will serve our community for generations to come.

Stronger Together isn’t just a phrase — it reflects the collaboration, generosity, and shared commitment that continues to move this project forward.

Thank you to our donors, volunteers, and community champions who are helping turn vision into reality. The best is yet to come.

More than a decade ago, it became clear that the existing Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital (PECMH) could no longer meet the needs of today’s patients, care teams, or community.
