Campaigns

Norfolk General Hospital Foundation’s Campaigns support our most crucial equipment needs.

Compassion is the Greatest Gift

Show your appreciation for the care you received and send a personal note of thanks to a specific caregiver or team at NGH when you donate. We will present the staff person with a pin to honour their commitment to patient care. Your gift will support the highest priority needs that focus on improving patient care and safety. Gifts of any amount qualify for this program.

Events

Heart of Healthcare Radiothon

The Heart of Healthcare Radiothon is one of Norfolk County’s longest-running community fundraisers in support of the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation.

Hosted by 98.9 myFM and Oldies 99.7, the annual event brings together patients, families, healthcare workers, community leaders, local businesses, and supporters from across the region to raise funds for important hospital equipment and patient care needs. The radiothon has supported healthcare in our community for more than 20 years.

When and where

The 2026 Heart of Healthcare Radiothon takes place on Thursday, May 7, 2026, live from Riverside 83 in Simcoe.

Community members are encouraged to stop by throughout the day to meet the broadcast team, hear powerful stories from patients and staff, and show their support for local healthcare.

What your support helps fund

This year, funds raised through the radiothon will support the purchase of a new echocardiogram machine for Norfolk General Hospital. This important equipment helps care teams diagnose and monitor heart conditions close to home.

Community support helps fund equipment and technology that are not fully covered through government funding and helps ensure patients can continue receiving high-quality care locally.

How to donate

There are several ways to support the Heart of Healthcare Radiothon:

• Donate during the live broadcast
• Stop by Riverside 83 in person
• Support one of the many local businesses and sponsors participating in the event
• Make a donation through the Norfolk General Hospital Foundation

Every donation makes a difference and helps support healthcare close to home.

We hope you will join us, share your support, and help make this year’s Heart of Healthcare Radiothon another success for our community
