The Stevenson Memorial Hospital Foundation (SMHF) proudly announces the success of the Lundy matching gift, a generous initiative led by Alan and Brenda Lundy. Designed to accelerate fundraising efforts for the centralized fetal monitoring system, this campaign surpassed all expectations, raising $128,250.

The Lundy family, esteemed supporters of SMHF, initiated this campaign with a  $50,000 matching donation to support the project. Their dedication to enhancing maternal and fetal healthcare at SMH reflects a profound connection to the institution as lifelong community members.

"This hospital is special. It is my birthplace and where all our children and two grandchildren were born," said Brenda Lundy, encapsulating the family's sentiment towards SMH. Alan Lundy echoes her sentiment, highlighting their desire to reciprocate support to SMH for their years of exceptional care. The Centralized Fetal Monitoring System revolutionizes health care by offering real-time monitoring, streamlined data management, and seamless integration, ultimately leading to the best care for mothers and babies.

This innovative technology is a major leap forward, and its success paves the way for even greater advancements in maternal health.

"We are deeply thankful for the Lundy family's incredible generosity," said Melody McLean, Director of Development and Campaign Manager at SMHF. "Their support will significantly enhance our health-care services to mothers and babies at SMH. This matching gift will inspire others to contribute to this important cause."

This campaign is a powerful example of how collective giving can truly make a difference. Thanks to everyone who donated, we’ve achieved a significant milestone together. By partnering with us, you’ll help Stevenson Memorial Hospital become an even stronger health-care leader, ultimately improving care for our community.
