Helping Others

Home


HELLO TO READERS! As you can guess I picked Seven Oaks General Hospital.
>>>>>>Meaning of 'Helping Hands': Assistance, assist, help, aid.<<<<<<

SOGH is a hospital on Leila Ave. and McPhillips St. S.O.G.H. is an accredited, 275 beds acute care facilities, and a long tradition of promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles. 180 committed medical staff are skilled medical practitioners. Spending countless hours helping out others in there own departments.  The hospital is beside the Wellness Institute in the Leila North Area. The hospital was built in 1981 after 15 years the Wellness Institute was built to promote health and wellness. The institute includes work-out equipment, a track and programs for everyone and anyone for health maintenance and rehabilitation. 

"In the early 1960s (no, not 1967), a group of community leaders considered changes taking place in health care and need in of a general hospital to serve the citizens of North Winnipeg. Banding together, they formed an Ad Hoc Hospital Committee."
*Now I'm going to skip history from the 70s to the 90s.*
"This year 2000-2011 S.O.G.H. is part of the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Continues to have its own Board of Trustees, responsible for allocating budgets, setting policy, and ensuring community needs are met." (SOGH) The hospital has been renovated and upgraded from being an old hospital to a this century look. S.O.G.H. has built an emergency entrance to help out more patients. 
  
Some of the foundations that SOGH donates to: Red Cross, United Way, Humane Society, Terry Fox Foundations, Wellness Institute and other well known foundations. The Seven Oaks General Hospital foundation helps out by supporting the new Oncology and Dialysis Clinics and also its major contributor to the Wellness Institute. The S.O.G.H. helps out by funding vital projects like CO2 Laser, CT Scanner, Blood Cell Analyzer, and Cardiac Stress Testing System. Who they get the money is by fundraising, family events, running or walking marathons and holding draws for the workers in their own departments.
