Circle of Care Champions!
Meet our Champions proud supporters of our 2025 Circle of Care Campaign
KAREN RIDDELL – Acting President & CEO
I have participated in the Circle of Care for 15 years. I have been able to direct my contribution to many programs including Medicine, Critical Care, and most recently the Cardiac CATH lab.
It is a very easy program to join, sign up, and direct your donation to whatever program you want to support. This is a great opportunity for us to support our hospital programs in the purchase of much-needed technology and resources so that we can continue to provide the best care possible to our patients and community now and into the future.

DAWN SUTHERLAND – Executive Assistant
The Circle of Care Campaign is very important to me. It has allowed me to support various programs and services over the last several years. This year I am choosing to give to the New Windsor-Essex Acute Care Hospital project.
I am so excited to see the new state-of-the-art facility built with the best of new hospital technology and equipment!
I love knowing that my donation specifically funds programs and services for the hospital.

ANTHONY MELOCHE – Learning Resources Leadership Coordinator
I enjoy donating to the Circle
of Care campaign because it’s easy and the money goes to support some great initiatives
and services in our hospital.
Being a training professional I am pleased to see
some of the money go to research and to fund our employee Tuition Assistance
Program so employees can reach their full potential.

MIRAZ HANNA – Transfusion Coordinator
I have been part of the Circle of Care for a few years. All it takes is a small donation, any amount you want off your paycheck, and direct it to any program you wish to. It's a great way to give back to the community through WRH.
It's a good feeling knowing that the donation I made through Circle of Care has helped purchase some of the equipment that is used to make a difference in people's lives.

KERRI CHIARAPPA – Registered Oncology Nurse
I have been part of the Circle of Care Campaign since it started. I have always supported the Oncology Department as I’ve been a vital part of the team for over 20 years.
It’s important to know that my donations can make a difference towards the Cancer Program, the patients, their loved ones, and families during the most difficult of times. It makes me feel good to give back and know that I can make a direct impact in my workplace!
