Hundreds of Thousands of Reasons Our Healthcare Heroes Thank You

Since March, we have been bolstered by your gifts, cards, kind words, and treats – we are blessed to be part of the Winchester community. To date, our generous donors have given nearly 700 gifts totaling more than $342,000 that we have used to support our staff.

In My Mother’s Honor

Sue Powers, RNMS, distinctly remembers her discomfort when her mother was undergoing treatment for breast cancer almost 20 years ago and couldn’t find a comfortable bra. “We had nowhere to turn for help,” Sue said, “so I decided that I would find a way to create a safe space for women to shop for bras, wigs, and other items that would help them while undergoing cancer treatments.”

Investing in our Nurses

Although COVID-19 cancelled the annual golf tournament that supports the James F. McDonough, MD, Fund for Nursing Education, the Winchester community, corporate supporters and individuals donated over $111,000 so that Winchester Hospital could continue to develop and educate nurses. For many donors, their gift was a tangible way to thank all of the nurses who have risked and continue to risk their lives caring for COVID-19 patients.

Thank you from the President

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your kind words, gestures, and meals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you, too, for your generous donations to the Winchester Hospital Healthcare Heroes Fund. All of us here have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from people we know and those whom we have never met. It has been so gratifying to know that our community is aware that many have put their lives at risk while caring for patients.

As we enter the second surge of the pandemic, please know that we are better prepared with treatment options and personal protective equipment than we were in the spring. We also have experience on our side.

In closing, I thank you again and reassure you that, as we have for 108 years, Winchester Hospital stands ready to take care of you, your family, and your friends.

With gratitude,

Richard Weiner, MD
