To our front-line heroes...

Thank You

Now more than ever, it is imperative that we come together to support our hospital and those on the front-lines.We asked donors to send in notes of gratitude, along with their gifts, to recognize and thank the teams at LHSC for working tirelessly to keep our community safe and healthy.

After receiving hundreds of responses, this is just a small amount of what our donors had to say...
