At the core of every world class community are people who care — people who care about the work they do, the community they live in and the chance to make a meaningful difference. In our community, every single person has the ability to profoundly affect our future for the better. When you leave a gift in your Will to a cause or organization you care about deeply, you leave a legacy that will help ensure a vibrant future right here for all of us.

Grand River Hospital is one of the many causes (Rev.) John Lougheed has chosen to support with a gift in his Will. As a retired Director of the Spiritual Care Department, Grand River Hospital is an organization that remains close to John’s heart, particularly because of the way holistic and spiritual care are woven into the hospital’s culture and community.

When you spend three days at the hospital every week receiving hours of treatment, being able to access care close to home is especially important. The completion of a long awaited space renovation at the Guelph satellite dialysis unit means this is now the reality for more kidney care patients in the Guelph-Wellington community. Thanks to a generous supporter who left a substantial gift to the Guelph satellite dialysis unit in their will, 18 additional patients can now receive dialysis closer to home.
