Employee Donors are Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre staff who donate through payroll deductions, helping to fund Hospital equipment & upgrades in the area that means the most to them.

Each month, the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation will feature some of the incredible Employee Donors in the Employee Donor Spotlight!

February’s Employee Donor is Kerri McGinn, Executive Assistant:

“I first became an Employee Donor when I worked in the Foundation here at the Hospital and saw how powerful philanthropy can be in creating real change.  Through that work, I became closely connected to the Cardiovascular Surgery Program, and it became personal when someone in my family had to travel out of town for heart surgery.  I know how much it matters to have care close to home.  After I changed jobs and then came back to the Hospital in a new role, I chose to continue on as an Employee Donor supporting the Cardiovascular Surgery program because I believe in bringing life-saving care to our community – one small contribution at a time.”
