Nottawasaga Foundation Continues to Meet Their Commitment of $1 Million to the Because of YOU Campaign with a $100,000 Donation
[New Tecumseth – October 17, 2025] – The Nottawasaga Foundation proudly reaffirmed its commitment to the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) by making another $100,000 toward their ambitious $1 million pledge. This ongoing support underscores the Nottawasaga Foundation’s dedication to enhancing healthcare services in our community.
Since establishing this pledge in 2017 to celebrate its 25th Anniversary, the Nottawasaga Foundation has contributed significantly to the Because of YOU Campaign. This latest contribution will help fund equipment needs, technology, and construction costs for Stevenson Memorial Hospital’s new facility, due to open in 2029, ensure the hospital remains equipped with advanced technology and equipment to serve community needs.
“Our continued support reflects our belief in the vital role Stevenson Memorial Hospital plays in our community,” said a representative from The Nottawasaga Foundation. “We are committed to helping the hospital achieve its goals, ensuring that residents have access to high-quality healthcare close to home.”
The Foundation’s longstanding partnership with the Biffis Family and Stevenson Memorial Hospital has been instrumental in advancing healthcare initiatives, from innovative services like digital mammography to enhancements in maternal care.
“Thank you to the Nottawasaga Foundation and the Biffis Family for your unwavering support. Your dedication enables us to expand our hospital’s foot print and meet the evolving healthcare needs of our community,” said Frank Cerisano, CEO of Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “The ongoing generosity of the Nottawasaga Foundation and the Biffis Family reinforces our shared commitment to high-quality, accessible healthcare. Their leadership is the cornerstone of our efforts to serve our community now and into the future.”
The Because of YOU campaign is a bold and ambitious effort to raise $80 million through community support to help build the future of Stevenson Memorial Hospital. This transformational project will triple the size of our hospital, providing expanded emergency care and advanced diagnostic imaging, including Stevenson’s first MRI suite, modern inpatient facilities, and specialized surgical services, all designed to meet the evolving healthcare needs of our growing community. As we approach our 100th anniversary in 2028, we stand on the threshold of a new era, just as our founders did nearly a century ago. With the support of our community, we will build a hospital for today and for generations to come—Because of YOU.
