Fort Erie Healthcare SOS

Donation protected
Hi My name is Heather and we are raising funds to help publicize, educate and promote the need to keep and maintain our Urgent Care site open 24/7 in Fort Erie at Douglas Memorial. We need to reach out to local communities and businesses to help spread the word about the potential loss of healthcare availability in small, rural and localized hospitals due to the lack of inclusion in the large Urban area Healthcare Strategic Plans.
We know that every minute counts when experiencing a health issue and we also lack public transportation for families to be able to help and support members when they are hospitalized. This is why it is critical to maintain our local Urgent Care so that patients and their families can be together in a healthcare crisis. We believe that everyone regardless of the town or city they are in deserve equitable access to healthcare and support. Our town was bequeathed our hospital building, however over time and with changes to control our town was left with an Urgent Care, chronic care beds, palliative care and some diagnostic services and we want to ensure that this is maintained.
We have a group of local volunteers that have been able to leaflet and host letter writing campaigns and we now need financial backing to continue our volunteer work. We have a large area to cover and financial support is necessary in order to reach out by using mail, phone, travel costs and advertising/promotion. In order to reach residents and concerned citizens .
