Who They Are
The Perth & Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation (PSFDH Foundation) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital (PSFDH) through fundraising efforts. Established to bridge the gap left by government funding, the Foundation raises essential funds for medical equipment and services not covered by the Ontario government, such as MRI machines, patient beds, and IV pumps. Operating across two hospital sites—Perth and Smiths Falls—the Foundation ensures that high-quality healthcare remains accessible to the local community
