Collectively, we are energized and positively infl uenced by their remarkable generosity. - Eve Willis, Co-Chair, New Oakville Hospital Campaign www.oakvillehospitalfoundation.com The Birminghams know, from personal experience, how vital it is for residents to have access to live saving cancer treatments, close to home. They will help to make this vision a reality for Oakville residents, through a $3.5 million donation to name the Birmingham Cancer & Medical Day Care Clinic in the new Oakville Hospital when it opens in 2015. Both as Honourary Co-Chairs of the new Oakville Hospital Campaign and through their donations, Betty and her late husband Bruce have inspired volunteers, supporters and the talented team of healthcare professionals at Oakvilles hospital to play an active role in bringing the new hospital to life! A portion of their gift will match donations to the new cancer program dollar for dollar! Their support will have a catalytic impact on our community while improving many lives. Betty & Bruce, thank you!
