Celebrating Compassionate Excellence
November 03, 2025
Winchester District Memorial Hospital (WDMH) recently hosted its annual Long-Term Service Awards at the Chesterville Legion, recognizing 74 staff, physicians and retirees for their commitment to WDMH and the patients we serve.
The event recognized individuals celebrating milestone work anniversaries and those who have retired in the past year. A drop-in celebration was held at the hospital a few days later for those unable to attend.
“Every honoree is a special part of the WDMH family; their dedication and compassion are what helps shape our hospital,” noted CEO Cholly Boland. “Congratulations to each one.”
A special tribute was paid to Dr. Don Merrett who was honoured for 50 years of service!
The evening concluded with an exciting trivia event hosted by Russell Trivia – Connie Johnston that left everyone in stitches.
