Kemptville District Hospital Receives $40,000 To Mark National Volunteer Week

The Kemptville District Hospital is getting a nice boost to mark National Volunteer Week.
The KDH Auxiliary has donated $40,000 to the hospital, which will be used to support the installation of a Negative Pressure Isolation Room in the Inpatient Medical Unit.
Hospital CEO Frank Vassallo says it’s amazing to see that amount raised – despite the fact that the hospital’s entire volunteer program was put on hold back in March of last year.
“When you go into the hospital, and don’t see these folks there – it’s sad,” Vassallo said. “It’s sad because each and every one of those people not only represent the auxiliary but they represent the spirit and the ethos of what makes this community so great.”
