Trillium Ford Lincoln Ltd. Accelerates Momentum for Stevenson Memorial Hospital with $25,000 Installment Toward Major Pledge
[New Tecumseth, ON – February 5, 2026] – The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) is energized to announce the continued support of Trillium Ford Lincoln Ltd., as they hit a significant milestone in their $125,000 commitment to community healthcare. Owner Eric Vant Spyker and team presented a cheque for $25,000 at their Alliston dealership, representing the latest installment in their multi-year pledge to support the hospital’s greatest needs.
This gift arrives at a pivotal moment for Stevenson Memorial. With the building partner for the new hospital recently announced and construction preparations underway, every dollar of this pledge fuels the forward momentum of a redevelopment project that will triple the size of the Emergency Department and modernize care for generations to come.
“Trillium Ford Lincoln is fortunate to have such a wonderful health care partner in the Stevenson Memorial Hospital,” said Eric Vant Spyker, Managing Partner – Trillium Ford Lincoln Ltd. – Alliston. “Providing this donation to support the Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation in their objective of bringing an expanded Stevenson to the community is an honour and a privilege. Through the support of the community shopping at their local Ford and Lincoln store, and through our great staff, we are able to give back to our customers and the community through donations like these.”
The partnership between Trillium Ford Lincoln and the Foundation is a long-standing one, dating back to 2018 with their initial support for medication dispensing technology in the Emergency Department. This latest $25,000 payment ensures the Foundation can continue to invest in essential resources during this high-growth construction phase.
“Trillium is in a fortunate position where gifts like these are possible, and because we can, we give. Thank you to the Foundation for all you do to increase health care opportunities for our staff, their families, and the community right here at home,” said Len Rice, Trillium Ford Shelburne.
“We are incredibly grateful for partners like Team Trillium; they truly are the heart and the fuel of the Foundation’s engine,” says Dr. Ted Vandevis, Chief Executive Officer, Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Trillium Ford Lincoln goes beyond selling vehicles; they invest in the safety and well-being of the people who drive them. As the construction of our new hospital gets underway, this generous installment is a wonderful reminder of the deep roots and shared commitment our local business leaders have for this community. Together, we are building a legacy of care that will serve our families for generations to come.”
Building for 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 more than double 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.
