20th anniversary of CCH radiothon By Amy Gillespie Executive Director Cornwall Community Hospital Foundation When the live-to-air broadcast ended at the first Radiothon in 2006 and $154,000 had been raised for CCH’s rebuild, donors and organizers would have been ecstatic. While the fundraiser’s success and resulting impact were tremendous, it’s hard to believe anyone imagined the event would grow to celebrate its 20th anniversary. A lot can happen in two decades. Buoyed by local sponsors and individual donors who believe in supporting local health, our Radiothon has surged through stronger economies, recessions, and even a global pandemic. Thanks to 260 live hours of on-air fundraising, Radiothon has raised $2.4 million for CCH since 2006. From MRI to chemotherapy, obstetrical to cardiac equipment, mammography to surgical technology and so much more, donors to the Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon have improved care for patients across all walks of life and stages of their individual healthcare journeys. Please help us celebrate our 20th annual Radiothon by supporting a project worthy of this milestone anniversary – the opportunity to bring MRI for breast cancer patients to CCH for the first time. While CCH offers mammography, surgical procedures, reconstruction and chemotherapy, all breast cancer patients in our region must travel to The Ottawa Hospital for a final MRI before undergoing surgery. Due to the volume of patients seeking care in Ottawa, wait times can be long, and delays may occur. Bringing this technology to CCH will keep patients close to home during a stressful time and help them move to surgery sooner. This opportunity will require new equipment, training for CCH staff, and specialized support from our radiologists. With a total project target of $250,000, CCHF is actively pursuing donations to help make this project a reality. Please consider making a gift today at www.cornwallhospitalfoundation.ca and follow our progress as we move closer to the 20th Corus Caring Hearts Radiothon broadcasting live on BOOM 101.9 and 104.5 FRESH FM at Cornwall Square on August 18. Funds raised beyond our goal will support other urgently needed medical equipment serving local patients and their families.
