The Huntsville Hospital Foundation is committed to supporting healthcare for life in Muskoka. “For now, the community can visit our Facebook page and thank them as best one can on that platform.” “We had hoped to thank them in person - but that will have to wait for better times ahead. “That means the need is renewed every year and that makes every gift critical.” “The technology and tools our doctors use to improve treatment and save lives here in the Huntsville area evolve every year,” says Craine. “Our hope is that this gift will inspire others to give.” “As a teaching hospital for doctors and nurses who are looking to apply their skills to northern Canada, Huntsville hospital is known as a gateway to the north, and is a community that has long held a personal connection for me. “I strongly believe in giving back to the communities that we are a part of and inspired by,” said Reiss in an HHF release April 18.
