About The Hats On For Healthcare Event:
A signature fundraising event for Windsor Regional Hospital Foundation, the campaign enters its (10th) tenth year, having raised over $300,000 for programs and services at the Met Campus and the Ouellette Campus.
How It Works:
Similar to a dress down day, Hats On For Healthcare gives participants an opportunity to wear a hat any day of choice for only a ‘toonie’ and, be included in the festivities on the official day, Tuesday, March 5th. This year’s theme is Mardi Gras, as March 5 is Shrove Tuesday.
Diagnostic Imaging (X-Ray):
The Diagnostic Imaging Departments at Met and Ouellette Campus includes: MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), CT Scanning, Mammography, Nuclear Medicine, Radiology (X-Ray), and Ultrasound. Diagnostic Imaging is an essential service in the patient care journey.
Quote:
“This being our 10th year, we are pleased to see so many companies, schools, municipalities, retail outlets and organizations signing up for this fun-packed event to raise funds for Diagnostic Imaging at Windsor Regional Hospital,” said Elaine Snaden. Elaine went on to state, “Hosting the 10th Anniversary of Hats On For Healthcare in the new City of Windsor lobby is a way of thanking the many City of Windsor Employees from many departments for their dedicated support of the campaign over the last several years.”
