Raised Last Year
In 1974, the Dunnville community saw the clear need for a charitable foundation to support our local hospital’s growth and maintenance. The Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation was established to support the Haldimand War Memorial Hospital – and later, the Edgewater Gardens Long-Term Care Centre – as well as to support healthcare more generally in town.
In 1920, a plot of land on John Street in Dunnville, Ontario was gifted to the Dunnville Women’s Patriotic Society with the intention to start a local hospital. The Haldimand War Memorial Hospital first opened on February 3, 1921; the new hospital had 20 beds, a small nursery, and a small operating room. It even had a portable x-ray machine!
Today, our hospital has grown to have 22 acute care beds, 13 complex care beds, and 2 respite care beds. The hospital is equipped to provide a continual line of care, from emergency room visits to long-term palliative care. With your support, we can continue to offer these, and other services into the future.
Connected to the Haldimand War Memorial Hospital on the banks of the Grand River, Edgewater Gardens Long-Term Care provides high-quality housing and assistance for 64 seniors. Care in Edgewater Gardens is focused on our residents’ rights to independence, personal choice, dignity, and participation in decisions affecting their care.

Chair of the Board
It is an honour and a privilege to serve as Chair of the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation. Our community is like no other. The passion for our hospital and the generosity of our supporters continues to inspire me on a daily basis. Whether it’s playing a round of golf in our annual tournament, taking a walk in the Stride & Ride event, responding to our various campaigns or buying more Smile cookies than the entire country – you are there for us. For this, I am truly grateful.
The foundation is poised and ready to continue raising funds to ensure that our hospital operates with state-of-the-art equipment and continues to provide exceptional care close to home. Together, we’ve got this!
