Rural populations have less access to health care services, major transportation challenges and higher health risks in employment and daily lives. It is for these and other reasons that people invest in their local hospital through direct donations and multiple community fundraising events. As costs continue to rise, ensuring that your hospital remains healthy is more important than ever. Investments in people, up to date technology, equipment and education of future health professionals are vital if we are to sustain the vision for our local Winchester District Memorial Hospital.

Our community hospital benefits from fundraising activities by two major partners, the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Auxiliary (The Auxiliary) and the Winchester District Memorial Hospital Foundation (The Foundation).

The Auxiliary raises money for equipment and other patient care needs that improve patient comfort and the daily functioning of our patient care units. The Foundation raises money for large building projects, equipment & technology to sustain the hospital’s strategic direction. Both organizations are key to sustaining the future success of the hospital.
