Hospital Foundation holds AGM

The Lake of Woods Hospital Foundation is saying farewell to its long-time chair.

Thelma Wilkens-Page is stepping down after a number of years at the helm of the fundraising organization.

The Foundation held its Annual General Meeting last night and announced that it had transferred over 550 thousand dollars to the Hospital for capital improvements in the past year.

In addition to that funding, the Boobie Night's Fundraiser this past weekend made 30 thousand dollars, which will go towards the purchase of a digital mammography and digital x-ray unit for the hospital.
