The strength of our hospital is rooted in partnership. Hospital leaders and care teams identify the priorities that will make the greatest difference for patients, and the STEGH Foundation connects those needs with the generosity of our community.
Together, this collaboration turns local support into real impact, funding the equipment, technology, and innovationsthat help ensure exceptional care remains right here for our friends, family, and neighbours.

The Transforming Tomorrow – Diagnostic Imaging (DI) Campaign set out to bring advanced, accurate, life-saving Diagnostic Imaging to St. Thomas and Elgin County.
Thanks to extraordinary community generosity, that vision has become reality. Today, STEGH’s Diagnostic Imaging Department is stronger, faster, and better equipped than ever before, serving patients with the advanced tools they deserve.
When our family, friends, and neighbours need care, we believe it should be available around the corner — not the next city over. Your support has allowed STEGH to transform care by investing in modern diagnostic imaging equipment, so patients receive faster appointments, more accurate results, and better outcomes right here, close to home.
