Keeping care close to home
When you or a loved one turns to Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital (OTMH) in a time of need, immediate access to innovative, high-quality care is vital.
Yet, our community and patient numbers are growing rapidly.
We’re also seeing patients, many of them older, with more complex health challenges.
To continue delivering exemplary patient care right where you need it, when you need it, we must match the rising demands of our community.
It’s time to act.
The good news
With your monthly support, we can continue to provide the best possible care for anyone who walks through our doors – all while keeping families together, right here in Oakville.
It will ensure we can meet our community’s growing need for healthcare.
We’re on a mission this year to welcome 150 new donors to our family by July 31. Will you join us?

Double your impact
There’s even more incentive to join The Oak Leaf Society today. The Oakville Medical Education Foundation has generously offered to match gifts, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000. Your gift will go twice as far to purchase leading-edge equipment for our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and other areas of our hospital.
What your support buys
Your support for critical equipment will help us care for the sickest patients in Oakville.
- Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS)
Needed: 1 • Cost: $10,000
Like an advanced stethoscope, POCUS can be used at the patient’s bedside to detect kidney stones, signs of lung infections, abdominal aneurysms, specific cardiac conditions and much more.
- Prismax Continual Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) Machine
Needed: 1 • Cost: $52,729
CCRT is an essential part of the standard of care in the ICU to provide 24/7 renal support to patients in severe kidney failure. A new machine is needed to replace an older device to meet current needs.
- Arctic Sun Temperature Management System
Needed: 2 • Cost: $36,000 each
This system is used to bring down the temperature for critically ill patients, post cardiac arrest. It provides neurological protection and gives the body the chance to heal. Our existing devices have reached their “best before date” and must be replaced.
