stories in this report show that our donors have very personal reasons
for supporting Markham Stouffville Hospital, but all share in their
compassion and dedication. Your spirit of generosity is inspiring.
On behalf of our physicians, staff and both the hospital and
foundation board of directors, a heartfelt thanks for the difference you
are making.
With thanks and sincere appreciation,
