Whether you are a patient, visitor, staff member or volunteer, being in the hospital over the festive season can be disheartening, so the Ajax Pickering Hospital Foundation works hard every year to bring some holiday cheer.
And because of our amazing donors, their personal touch makes the Ajax Pickering Hospital so special.
We know that the Canada Post strike means that no one can mail us a cheque just now, but we have other ways to make it easy to support everyone who comes to us for care.
Browse through our 2024 Christmas Wishbook and check out how you can make this holiday season special for our hospital.
like page 22 & 23: items that we need for our Compassion Fund that helps patients who come to the hospital in an emergency and have absolutely nothing with them; or patients who have been with us for an extended period, often months, while they wait to find a long-term home and don’t have close family or friends to bring them some comforts of home or even simple personal care items.
or page 24 & 25: filling backpacks with some festive cheer as well as including resourceful and helpful items, from self-care to encouraging healthy leisure activities for our Mental Health patients & clients for once they leave the hospital. Plus, the backpacks themselves are practical, as the patients can be dealing with unstable or temporary living situations, and even possibly homelessness.
