The 4^th annual Memorial Ride, which took place August 14^th, raised $2,700 for equipment needs at Dauphin Regional Health Centre.  This year, the ride —organized by JDS Laundromat and Tony’s Auto & Electric— was dedicated to all the lost souls from Residential Schools.

Some 75 motorcycle enthusiasts and representatives from the Dauphin Car Club participated this year. The Ride covered about 230 kilometres and took participants on a scenic route through Kelwood, Neepawa, Minnedosa and Riding Mountain National Park.

As part of National Volunteer Week (April 19-25) the Dauphin Hospital Foundation (DHF) is proud to acknowledge its volunteer Board members that continue to actively support and promote projects, initiatives and specific requests that benefit the Dauphin Regional Health Centre and Dauphin Personal Care Home.

The Dauphin Regional Health Centre’s Palliative Care Unit recently received another substantial boost thanks to a very generous donation from an amazing lady.  Ann Stewart has donated $15,000 to the Dauphin Hospital Foundation, Palliative Care Fund, in memory of her late husband Peter Stewart

The Dauphin Regional Health Centre Palliative Care Redevelopment Project has once again received a boost from Cargill Limited and additional backing from Corteva Agriscience. Thanks to their efforts, and support from local farmers for purchasing Corteva’s product, a $2,500 donation was made back to this very important health-care project for the region.

The Dauphin Regional Health Centre (DRHC) recently received a generous contribution that will assist the hospital’s maternity unit. The Compassionate Friends of South Western Manitoba donated just over $4,000 to the Dauphin Hospital Foundation that went towards the purchase of a Cuddle Cot.

The Cuddle Cot is a cooling device that is placed in a baby bassinet. It will enable parents who have suffered the loss of a baby, to have more time to grieve and say goodbye to their loved one.

The Dauphin and District Shrine Club has made a significant contribution towards children’s care at Dauphin Regional Health Centre (DRHC).  The Shrine Club contributed close to $6,000, via the Dauphin Hospital Foundation, that helped purchase a Broselow Pediatric Emergency Cart and related support equipment.   The Broselow Cart is a colour-coded system for children (infant to 12).  Its key features allow for quick access to correct sizes of medical equipment in the event of an emergency.

The Dauphin Hospital Foundation was pleased to recently contribute towards a new piece of equipment for the surgery program at Dauphin Regional Health Centre.  The Foundation provided just over $36,000 for a new colonoscope, which is used for an endoscopy procedure.  

The Dauphin Regional Health Centre (DRHC) received a pair of recent donations that will provide a total of $1,500 to be split between three different program/service areas within the hospital. 

The Dauphin Hospital Foundation is sincerely grateful to be recognized as a beneficiary from the historic Barry Trotz Stanley Cup Day celebrations, which were held in August. The Foundation is honoured to be included among other dedicated and worthy community organizations that will receive funding support thanks to the success of the event.

The benefit from the Barry Trotz Stanley Cup Day celebrations held this past August in Dauphin is the gift that keeps on giving.  Through the Dauphin Hospital Foundation, the Trotz Family presented the Dauphin Personal Care Home (PCH) with a cheque for  $6,640 on December 4, 2018.
