Who we are
Let’s build tomorrow together.
We Want Outstanding Care for Life.
The Collingwood G&M Hospital Foundation is leading the charge to raise over $100+ million to help build Tomorrow’s Hospital: a new, state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the growing healthcare needs of South Georgian Bay.

With community support at the heart of our mission, we want to inspire individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to help bring this vision to life. Your generosity will shape the future of healthcare in our region, ensuring access to modern, compassionate care for generations to come.
