Britespan Contributes To Wingham Hospital Capital Campaign

The Wingham and District Hospital Foundation has received another large commitment toward it's capital campaign.

Britespan Building Systems, based in Wingham and Lucknow, is contributing $100,000 to the hospital over five years.

The Hospital Foundation's campaign - called "Our Hospital, our Future" - has a local fundraising goal of $4-million to complement provincial funding.

The three major components of the capital campaign include hospital renovations, diagnostic imaging equipment replacement, and opening a community health campus in the former Wingham Public School.

"Britespan employs people from all over Huron County, all of whom rely on this hospital for their healthcare and the healthcare of their families," says Britespan's Jenny Hogervorst. "We are committed to supporting the Wingham and District Hospital so that our local community continues to receive the quality patient care the hospital has always provided."
