Patient, Donor & Campaign Volunteer

“Having care available close to home is huge. The few times I needed to go out of town, I missed home and I missed the familiar faces of those caring for me at NBRHC. I always felt like I was part of this incredible community that was championing me to get better.”

Bob and Frankie Syme

“We enjoy knowing the fruits of our working years will be helping others. We have had great care and treatment over the past few years dealing with heart issues, two hip replacements and intestinal disorders.”

Jim

“Thanks to your generosity I have my tests in North Bay, close to home. I only recently learned that it is our responsibility as a community to help the hospital fund advanced medical equipment to help our healthcare team care for us when we are sick. That’s why I am writing this letter.”

Tara Blake

“A cancer diagnosis impacts everyone. As a mother, I didn’t want my children to worry, that was my job. My children were able to see the wonderful care I received. My older daughter was so inspired, that she and her friend hosted a lemonade stand and garage sale to raise money for the Chemotherapy Unit. We know every donation counts!”

Types of Giving - Did you know?Many people acquire life insurance earlier in life to protect their loved ones or business from economic loss. Later on, it can also be used to cover estate costs and taxes. As financial situations change, some let their policies lapse, but a more meaningful option could be to either transfer ownership to a charity of your choice, or continue paying the premiums and name that charity as the beneficiary.Naming the North Bay Regional Health Centre Foundation as a beneficiary of your policy is a practical way to profoundly impact healthcare, close to home.By transferring ownership, donors receive a tax receipt for the policy’s cash value and annual premiums. If they name the Foundation as the beneficiary, their estate will receive a receipt for the full death benefit. Reach out to your professional advisor to learn more! ... See MoreSee Less
