Strengthen what's within.

Surgical excellence lives within the walls of St. Thomas Elgin General Hospital (STEGH). Every day, skilled surgeons and healthcare teams provide care for patients and families across St. Thomas and Elgin County.

Behind every successful surgery is an operating room with the right tools.

Through the Surgical Excellence campaign, STEGH Foundation is inviting our community to support new and upgraded equipment for our operating rooms, helping strengthen surgical care close to home.

A Patient's Perspective

Following surgery at STEGH, Jeff was able to enjoy meals again. As an amateur painter, he understands the importance of having the right tools.

"It's a gimme that you need the right tools to do an excellent job. Those guys at STEGH should have the best of everything!"
