Erie Shores HealthCare has unveiled a new tribute wall recognizing the Erie Shores HealthCare Auxiliary, celebrating 75 years of volunteer service and giving to support patients, staff and hospital programs.

The unveiling was part of the hospital’s 75th anniversary celebrations and comes as the Auxiliary wraps up its organization after 75 years of supporting local health care.

To mark its final contribution, the Auxiliary presented Erie Shores HealthCare with a donation of $122,000, supporting priorities that strengthen patient care close to home.

“This tribute wall is a permanent thank you to the people who showed up for this hospital, year after year,” said Kristin Kennedy, president and CEO of Erie Shores HealthCare. “For 75 years, the Auxiliary’s volunteers and donors have helped make care better for patients and families. We’re honoured to recognize that legacy in a lasting way as we celebrate 75 years of care in our community.”

Erie Shores HealthCare also released the official trailer for an upcoming documentary that will reflect on the hospital’s 75-year history of providing care to the community. The documentary will share stories from across the decades, highlighting the people, milestones and moments that helped shape health care in the region.

The full documentary will be released later as part of the hospital’s anniversary programming in the spring.

“The Auxiliary has always been driven by one goal, helping the hospital support the community,” said Kerstin Kay, Past President, Erie Shores HealthCare Auxiliary. “We’re proud of what volunteers have accomplished over 75 years, and we’re grateful to everyone who supported our efforts. This tribute wall is a meaningful way to ensure that spirit of giving is remembered.”

Erie Shores HealthCare’s 75th anniversary recognizes 75 years of care, compassion and progress, and celebrates the people who made it possible, including staff, physicians, volunteers, donors and community partners.
