This Little Piggy Went to Diagnostic Imaging
August 19, 2026
A recent gift from 100 Women Who Care
South Dundas is helping make X-rays safer, faster and more comfortable for some
of WDMH's youngest patients.
The group donated $4,000 toward the
purchase of a new Pigg-O-Stat Pediatric Immobilizer, with the remaining balance
funded through other donations to the WDMH Foundation. The specialized device
helps infants and toddlers stay still during X-rays, making it easier to
capture clear images the first time around. That means fewer repeat exams, less
radiation exposure and a better experience for children, families and staff.
"When a community comes together
with purpose, extraordinary things happen,” said Cindy Ault Peters, Executive
Director of the WDMH Foundation. “Thank you to those who attended the event and
for choosing to support our tiniest patients."
The
new equipment recently arrived at WDMH, and members of the Diagnostic Imaging
team gathered to celebrate. It is already helping the team care for young
patients and is another example of how community support brings important
equipment to the hospital, strengthening care close to home. Thanks to generous
community support, this little piggy is already making a big difference for
little patients.
