Welland Hospital Auxiliary Donor Wall
A special wall of photographs highlighting the history of the Welland Hospital Auxiliary was installed on 3 South in April 2001. The tribute is in honour of the Auxiliary’s outstanding contribution to Welland Hospital over the years. The Auxiliary has donated and pledged a total of $2.4 million since its establishment in 1945. Its most recent pledge of $1 million over 10 years will help fund the new permanent Dialysis Unit which opened in May 2008.
