FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 13, 2026

Alexandria, ON — The Glengarry Memorial Hospital Foundation is thrilled to announce a $50,828.50 securities donation from Kim and Denis Sabourin to support the Foundation’s CT Scanner Campaign. Their gift brings Hôpital Glengarry Memorial Hospital (HGMH) closer to acquiring a state-of-the-art CT scanner, improving diagnostic services and keeping care close to home.

Reflecting on their family’s long connection to the hospital, the Sabourins said:

“This donation is in recognition of the care that HGMH has provided to our families and our community for generations. We are honoured to support the acquisition of a new CT scanner through this donation. Following the example set by our father, Hubert Sabourin, we are proud to contribute to keeping the hospital equipped with modern, life-saving technology, ensuring it remains accessible and available to serve the community for years to come. It is our hope that this contribution supports the continued delivery of high-quality care to all who depend on it.”

A new CT scanner will improve diagnostic accuracy, reduce patient transfers, and support faster treatment decisions for patients across Glengarry and neighbouring communities.

“This extraordinary gift from Kim and Denis is a powerful example of stewardship rooted in community,” said Mark Adam, Chair of the HGMH Foundation Board. “Through our Be a Healer movement, community members are funding priority medical equipment, like a new CT scanner, that is not covered by government funding. Donors become healers by enabling faster, more accurate diagnosis and treatment for families and neighbours across Glengarry.”

The HGMH Foundation continues to welcome support for the CT Scanner Campaign. To donate, volunteer, or learn more, visit www.hgmhfoundation.org.
