๐Ÿ’™ This is what community looks like. ๐Ÿ’™

We are proud to introduce a new feature, our Community Champion, recognizing individuals and groups whose commitment and care for our hospital make a lasting difference in our community.

Our very first Community Champion is Brian Lynch, founder of The Bottoni Project and the driving force behind the Bottoni Ride.

Inspired by his own journey as a male breast cancer survivor, Brian has united riders, volunteers, and supporters to strengthen Breast Imaging and diagnostic care in our community.

Thanks to his leadership and tireless fundraising, more than $120,000 has been raised in support of Diagnostic Imaging and mammography services at STEGH, helping ensure patients receive timely, compassionate care when it matters most.

Thank you, Brian, for the impact youโ€™ve made and the community you continue to inspire.

Be sure to watch for our next Community Champion, coming soon!

๐Ÿ’™ A legacy of love, now part of care at STEGH. ๐Ÿ’™

Because of a generous legacy gift from Barbara Blewitt, a new mammography machine is now in place and supporting patients at STEGH.

Barbara believed in giving back to the community she loved. Today, her kindness lives on through compassionate, advanced breast imaging that will help care for patients and families for years to come.

๐Ÿ’™ A little reminder for today. ๐Ÿ’™

Today is known as Blue Monday, and sometimes even called the "most depressing day of the year." Here at the Foundation office, we see it as a reason to pause, check in, and look for small moments of connection and kindness.

Weโ€™re grateful for people like Gene Corless (pictured here) whose passion for music and mental health has brought our community together through the Corless Concert for Mental Health at STEGH since 2018.

"Music has a quiet way of meeting you where you are, offering comfort and reminding you that you donโ€™t have to face difficult days alone." - Gene Corless

Held in May, the concert is a reminder that music, conversation, and community can lift us up, even on the hardest days.

If today feels heavy, be gentle with yourself, reach out to someone you trust, and remember youโ€™re not alone. ๐Ÿ’™

Our Story

The St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital Foundation was founded in 1985 by a group of community leaders determined to make a lasting impact on the healthcare available in St. Thomas and Elgin County.

Since that time, our community has stood shoulder-to-shoulder in support of the St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital.

Our Mission is simple: we partner with the community to support STEGH in the delivery of an excellent patient care experience.
