Share Your Voice, Shape Your Care
By MARK SCHADENBERG
It was Nov. 10, 2011 when patients moved from the Riddell Street site of the Woodstock hospital to the new location on Juliana Drive. The new campus is just a dozen years old, but many upgrades have already occurred under the watchful eyes of CAO and president Perry Lang.
Fundraising lotteries have been integral. The system of monthly 50/50 draws have raised dollars for updating equipment such as mammography machines, a brand new CT scanner, a mobile fluoroscopy camera, and many more items.
Currently, a $3 million fundraising project is underway to enhance services in cancer care, including chemotherapy and IV Infusion clinic.
The hospital also raises money through its annual Dairy Capital Run and a golf tournament, but pledges from industry and families are certainly welcome.
Share Your Voice, Shape Your Care: Patients, volunteers, staff and citizens in general are all invited to participate in a strategic planning process as the future and / or horizon must always be prepared for and in this case its writing a 3-year plan:

As a member of Woodstock City Council, I know the importance of the local hospital even though I'm not on the board of directors. From surgeons, department doctors, emergency room staff, a crew of dedicated nurses, the organizing of out-patient care, food services and all other employees, the hospital is certainly proud of its team.
I would write more, but this truly is an invite to read the latest newsletter -- released for fall -- with many updates and special announcements.
