Remember to give Thanks today

Now the Thanksgiving weekend is here, you should take time to reflect on the things that you are most thankful for. That list almost always starts with family, friends, and loved ones. High on my list, I am thankful to have relatively good health.

 

I am very thankful that I live in a caring community where neighbours help neighbours and Friends support Friends. A community that cares for it's newborns and it's senior and everyone in between.

I am extremely thankful that Golden is fortunate enough to have the Golden & District Hospital and Durand Manor complete with compassionate and caring doctors and staff. What better way to thank those folk than to join the Friends of the Golden and District hospital and donate a gift to buy equipment that helps them help us.

The size of the gift, $50 or $1,000, is less important than the message it sends; "Thank you, we care".

$200,000 milestone

 

Last night the Friends of the Golden & District hospital surpassed a significant milestone. $200,000!

The Friends of the Golden & District Hospital raised over $50,000 from an online fundraising event in 2015 in memory of my wife and best friend, Frances and other families in Golden who had experienced loss of a loved one. 

There are many families that want to express thanks to our local hospital for one reason or another and this fundraiser allows them to do so in a tangible way and to show community support for the dedicated staff.

All of the funds raised are used to purchase equipment for our local hospital over and above their annual budget. These items truly make a big difference and have a huge impact on the scope and quality of the services provided by our small rural hospital.

Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital, the fundraising initiative which began in 2015, has become an annual event. This is the 8th annual event. Since the initial fundraiser in 2015, the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital have raised over $200,000.

At $6380 this morning, but we need more Friends

After an early start, donations have slowed down. The Friends have raised $6380 as of the time of writing and just a few more gifts will take the Friends of the Golden & District hospital to a new milestone.

Giving Thanks to the Golden & District Hospital 2022 is a fundraising initiative that began in 2015 and has become an annual event. This is the 8th annual event. All of the funds raised by the Friends of the GDH remain in Golden and are used to purchase equipment over and above their annual budget.

Donations to the Friends of the GDH are tax efficient

When you donate to the Friends of the Golden & District Hospital, Canada Helps will issue to you a charitable donation tax receipt for the full amount of the donation. You can print the tax receipt directly from the donation page or retrieved at a later date. The tax receipt can also be emailed to you.

Some charities charge a large administration fee reducing the amount available to the cause however, Canada Helps only takes a small administration fee of 3% and transfers the funds to the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) where it is segregated into an account specifically for the Friends of the Golden and District Hospital. The EKFH takes about 5% as an administration fee when equipment is purchased, so for every dollar donated approximately 92 cents is available to the hospital for the purchase of equipment. A very efficient way for you to support our community hospital!

Your tax credit will vary depending on your level of donation. For a resident of BC:

For a donation of $1000, the tax credit is approximately $389.72

For a donation of $500 , the tax credit is approximately $171.22 

For a donation of $200 , the tax credit is approximately $40.12

The tax credit reduces your tax payable.

How to attribute your donation.

I have noticed there are a couple of anonymous donations resulting from a change in the privacy policy of Canada Helps. Unless you give permission to show your name, your donation will appear as "anonymous". To have your name shown and be recognized you must check the box;

"Display my name and donation amount on Friends of the Golden & District Hospital...."

Even then your name will be displayed with your first name and only the initial of your surname. 

For example my donation is attributed it to "Keith H."

To show your full name and be recognized you must include your full name in the message box. For example in the box "Add a message of support" type;

"Thanks to the staff at GDH, Keith W. Hern" or

" In memory of Joe, Jane Doe"

If you wish to remain anonymous ignore the above.

GDH would like a Mini C-arm

 

"The Golden & District Hospital would like to extend the scope of practice and increase the volume of surgery done in Golden with the use of a Mini C-arm." Dr. Adam Watchorn, Chief of Staff at the Golden Hospital.

The surgical imaging C-arm is designed to enhance surgical efficiency while delivering the renowned image quality  C-arms are known for.

The Mini C-arm enables you to:

• Experience stunning image quality
• Manage dose with automatic imaging profiles and dose control modes
• Operate with enhanced ease and efficiency

This system is ideally suited for a range of surgical needs including orthopedics, gastrointestinal, endoscopic, urologic, neurologic, critical care, emergency, and vascular procedures.

 

 

You may need surgery one day!! Why travel to Cranbrook or Kelowna, if you can get the surgery you need right here in Golden?

Will you chip in to help purchase a Mini C-arm?

All donations, large or small, show your appreciation for the staff at our hospital.
