Every day, patients and families experience compassionate, life-changing care at Horizon Health facilities. Whether it’s a moment of kindness, a life-saving procedure, or years of dedicated support — these stories reflect the heart of our healthcare system.
If you’ve received care that made a difference in your life, we invite you to share your story and make a donation in honour of a healthcare professional who impacted you.
I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital for the exceptional care given to my late husband, Michael Fagan.
Dying is a difficult process for everyone involved, but we were surrounded by compassion and kindness throughout his 25-day stay. From Emergency to ICU and Palliative Care, every team went above and beyond despite challenges.

I am forever grateful.
— Mrs. Rosalind Fagan
