Omemee Swans are Somebody's Hero with support for RMH

May 29, 2025 - The Ross Memorial Hospital Foundation is honoured to be included in the Omemee Swans’ season of giving. 

Today, Darlene Hamilton and Joyce van den Broek of the Omemee Swans visited Ross Memorial to present a $1,000 donation for the spring appeal. 

With the theme ‘You can be Somebody’s Hero’, the appeal is encouraging giving for the highest priority needs at the hospital. These include growing critical care capacity in the Emergency Department and ICU; ensuring access to the best diagnostic imaging technology and leading-edge bedside equipment enabling life-saving care… and all of this vital clinical information connected in real time, available to every care provider – and to you – when and where it’s needed. 

“We never know when we will need emergency or critical care at the hospital. Donations to the spring appeal will enhance care for everyone in Kawartha Lakes,” said Erin Coons, RMH Foundation CEO. “Service clubs such as the Omemee Swans do so much for their communities. They provide support for local causes and they inspire others to help, too.” 

The Omemee Swans are a non-profit volunteer group raising funds in and for their community.
