The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital Foundation says its MRI fundraising campaign has reached a major milestone.
At the sold-out Black Tie Bingo event on November 15, Foundation Chair Kristine Fair announced the Magnifying Care Close to Home campaign has raised $4.1 million toward its $6.1 million goal.
Since the MRI arrived in November 2023, more than 4,000 patients have received scans locally, reducing travel and speeding up critical diagnostic results. In 2025, MRI services expanded to include breast imaging, offering more advanced care closer to home.
The hospital also doubled operating hours on October 16, moving from 8 to 16 hours per day to meet growing community demand.
Fair said the progress reflects the generosity of donors and the strong community commitment to local health care. With $2 million left to raise, the Foundation is encouraging residents, businesses, and service groups to support the campaign.
