Haircuts for Health!

We all miss our hairdressers and it looks like it might be a bit longer before we can visit the barber shop or salon. So maybe it’s time for another option. Welcome to Haircuts for Health! It’s the first fundraiser of its kind in our region and it will support Winchester District Memorial Hospital and our frontline healthcare heroes.

The WDMH Foundation is challenging you to a COVID chop for good! Give a cut - or get a cut from a quarantine buddy - and direct the funds you would have spent on a ‘professional’ haircut to the WDMH Foundation. Don’t forget about your pets too!

Visit the Haircuts for Health website for all the details.

New Commitment Statement

At the AGM on June 16th, we introduced a new Commitment Statement. Thank you to the team of donors, Board members, and staff who helped to create it. Read it now. 

 
Recent Fundraising Letter 

A recent fundraising letter has raised concerns for some of the recipients – and we want to apologize and ensure it does not cause distress for others. You may have received a letter in the mail from WDMH asking for a donation for a new digital Mammography machine. The letter shares the story of a breast cancer survivor and includes headlines that mention test results and cancer. This might be concerning to some readers and was definitely not the intent. We want to thank these individuals for sharing their concerns with us. We will be making changes to future letters based on their valuable feedback.

As always, we are so grateful to our local communities for your ongoing support. 

Income Tax Receipts

We are working hard to issue and send out income tax receipts as quickly as possible. Thank you for your continued support and patience during this time.

See You Soon

We hope that you and your family are safe and well. Please know that we are working closely with the WDMH care team to offer our support in any way we can. Because of your generous support, we have the ability to help fund potential medical equipment needs that may arise. WDMH is a strong hospital – in part because of our committed donors. We know that you join us in saluting all of the health care workers who are caring for our community during these extraordinary times. We will all get through this together.|

We look forward to connecting with you in person again soon. In the meantime, we are working from home. Please feel free to contact us by phone or email!
