The Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation is pleased to receive a $5,000.00 donation made in memory of Julie MacLachlan from the Julie MacLachlan Charity Foundation.

"Our Hospital, Our Future" is the Foundation's fundraising campaign to build a new hospital. The campaign's goal is to raise $12 million of the projected costs of $59 million to redevelop the Cornwall Community Hospital. The remainder of the funds will come from municipal and provincial governments.

Cornwall Community Hospital is a 170-bed acute care hospital operating on two sites in the city of Cornwall, located in Eastern Ontario along the St. Lawrence River. With a staff of over 1000 employees, Cornwall Community Hospital serves acute, in-patient, out-patient and community based clients. The hospital provides a wide range of medical specialties. Cornwall Community Hospital was incorporated in 2004 with the amalgamation of the Cornwall General Hospital and the acute care services of the Hotel Dieu Hospital, both with over 100 years of health care service to Cornwall and surrounding area. In 2006, the Canadian Council of Health Services Accreditation accredited Cornwall Community Hospital.
