“Healthcare policy is driven by cuts and privatization.”

10/18/2026

The hospitals in Renfrew County, with the generous financial support of the residents who volunteer, fundraise and make donations, are doing their part to provide the medical equipment. Can the Premier please restore funding to adequate levels to ensure adequate staffing and services? As predicted, funding for-profit private clinics has made waitlists worse. Return that funding back to the public system!

When a medical emergency happens, the last thing on your mind is whether the hospital has the equipment needed to care for you.

For Maureen, what she thought was an asthma attack turned out to be two blood clots in her lungs. It was a frightening experience that reminded her just how important having the right medical equipment can be.

Most of us don't think about hospital equipment until we or someone we love needs it.

Through our Equipped to Care campaign, your generosity helps ensure that Arnprior Regional Health has the essential equipment needed to care for patients when it matters most.

Because someone gave before Maureen needed care, the equipment her healthcare team needed was there.

Today, you can be that someone for the next patient.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps strengthen healthcare in our community and beyond.

Make your gift today:

Together, we can help make sure the right tools are there when they're needed most.

How unfair is it that our seniors, beginning with war veterans, have contributed so much to our universal health care system only to be underserviced in their golden years? There is no other reason for it that restoring the funding levels and collaborating on efficiencies can't solve.

Does anyone know if other hospitals in the County do reconciliation activities such as this? Isn’t it remarkable?

As part of our ongoing commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, we have a continuing series of Indigenous education and reconciliation learning opportunities for team members at DRDH, led by the Mashkiwizii Manido Foundation.

The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is an Indigenous-led, hands-on learning activity that explores the historical and contemporary relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. Blankets are placed on the floor to symbolize land, as people can walk through the evolution timeline of Indigenous peoples. After the exercise, participants can reflect, listen to one another, and share their insights.

DRDH is keeping our promise to act on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action through our education, specifically around Indigenous history, treaties, and healthcare justice, guided by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

Reconciliation requires more than acknowledgement. It requires continued learning and action, so we can grow and learn from our mistakes. Our healthcare team is dedicated to continuing to learn about the history and current barriers surrounding our system so we can provide compassionate, culturally safe care to Indigenous people.

Miigwetch Margaret, Joanne, and Julianna, for sharing your knowledge and wisdom to guide us through this impactful experience.
